Shanghai Sino United Hospital

Shanghai Yaoying Hospital (SinoUnited Health) — Premium International Healthcare on the Bund for Foreign Travelers & Medical Tourists

Shanghai Yaoying Hospital (Shanghai SinoUnited Hospital), the flagship comprehensive facility of SinoUnited Health, delivers physician-led, internationally aligned medical care in the heart of the Bund. With nearly a decade of outpatient expertise now culminating in a full-service hospital, it is purpose-built for international patients, expat families, and medical tourists seeking world-standard diagnostics and treatment without leaving China.

Why Shanghai Yaoying Hospital Stands Out for International Patients

Unlike public hospitals that overwhelm foreign visitors with complex registration systems and limited English, Shanghai Yaoying Hospital was designed with the international patient in mind — from multilingual intake to internationally trained physicians and direct billing with 100+ global insurance providers.

Founded by physicians. Run by physicians. Built for patients.

SinoUnited Health was established in 2016 by a team of internationally trained doctors, a model described in Chinese media as "doctor-led healthcare" — meaning clinical decisions are made by practicing physicians, not administrators. This philosophy now powers nine locations across Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Suzhou, and a flagship 10,000+ sqm hospital on the Bund that opened in December 2022.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Do I need a referral from a local doctor to book an endoscopy at Yaoying Hospital?

No. International patients can book directly through MedTourChina or contact the hospital directly. A pre-procedure consultation is recommended to confirm clinical suitability before scheduling.

Q2: How long does a combined gastroscopy and colonoscopy take?

Plan for a full day (typically 8:00 AM–2:00 PM). The procedure itself takes 30–60 minutes, but preparation, recovery, and physician consultation add to the total time.

Q3: Can I get my results in English?

Yes. All reports are available in English upon request. Medical imaging files are provided digitally.

Q4: Does Yaoying Hospital accept my international insurance?

They work with 100+ international insurance providers for direct billing. Contact MedTourChina to verify your specific provider before your visit.

The hospital operates under SinoUnited Health's physician-led model and follows international clinical guidelines (Chinese Medical Association, ACG/AHA protocols). Ask MedTourChina for the latest accreditation status.

Q6: What is the minimum age for endoscopy screening?

Gastroscopy has no strict age limit — suitability is assessed case-by-case during the pre-procedure consultation. Colonoscopy is generally recommended starting at age 45 per Chinese and international cancer screening guidelines.

Book at least 1–2 weeks in advance for non-urgent procedures. For time-sensitive cases, MedTourChina can often arrange appointments within 48–72 hours.
