National-Level Women's & Children's Care — Serving Western China's Families

West China Second Hospital (四川大学华西第二医院), also known as West China Women's and Children's Hospital, is one of China's established institutions for obstetrics, gynaecology, and paediatrics, and is part of Sichuan University. Both its obstetrics-gynaecology and paediatrics departments hold National Key Discipline status — a dual designation held by very few hospitals in the country.

The hospital manages the highest volume of high-risk pregnancies in western China and operates a nationally recognised neonatal intensive care unit. Its paediatric cardiology, paediatric haematology, and paediatric surgery programmes are among the most active in the country, and its reproductive medicine centre provides IVF and assisted reproductive technology with pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. For international families, China Care provides full coordination and interpretation support throughout their stay in Chengdu.

As a focused women's and children's hospital, its depth in obstetrics, gynaecology, and paediatrics complements the broader adult-care capabilities of its sister institutions in Chengdu. China Care helps international families determine whether West China Second Hospital is the appropriate setting for their specific maternal or paediatric needs before they travel.

"For international families seeking maternal or paediatric care in China, West China Second Hospital offers the depth and reputation of a national-level women's and children's hospital."
Why Patients Choose This Hospital

Three reasons international families consider West China Second Hospital

Two National Key Disciplines

Both obstetrics-gynaecology and paediatrics hold National Key Discipline status — a rare dual designation that places the hospital among China's recognised women's and children's medical centres. This recognition reflects sustained clinical volume, research output, and teaching standards in both fields.

High-Risk Pregnancy Management

Western China's largest high-risk pregnancy programme, including cases complicated by maternal cardiac disease, multiple gestation, and foetal anomalies. A multidisciplinary team coordinates maternal, foetal, and neonatal care within a single hospital system, supported by a Level 3 neonatal intensive care unit.

Paediatric Cardiology & Haematology

A regional referral centre for childhood leukaemia, haemophilia, and thalassaemia, with a complex congenital heart disease programme. Foetal echocardiography, paediatric cardiac surgery, and a paediatric haematology-oncology service are available within the same institution as the neonatal and obstetric teams.

Beyond the Hospital

Why Families Work With China Care

  • Is West China Second Hospital suitable for my pregnancy or my child's condition?

  • Can my case be reviewed before I travel from abroad?

How China Care Helps You Reach West China Second Hospital — If It's Right for You

Finding a hospital is the easy part. Understanding whether it's the right one for your situation is harder — China Care guides you through that, from initial guidance through to on-the-ground support in Chengdu.

Step 1 · Free Initial Guidance
Tell Us About Your Situation

Send your medical records, imaging reports, and a brief description of your condition and treatment goals. For maternal or paediatric cases, include relevant history and prior reports. This step is free and helps us understand whether West China Second Hospital — or another hospital — may be worth exploring for your case.

free · 1–2 days
Step 2 · Hospital Access
China Care Books and Confirms Your Appointment

China Care submits your case to the hospital's coordination office, translates your medical records and referral documents, and confirms your appointment date, department, and specialist before you book travel — all coordinated in English on your behalf. This is a fixed-fee service, agreed with you upfront. Already in China? Skip this step — China Care can arrange direct escort and interpretation for your own visit instead.

Step 3 · In-Person Consultation
Travel to Chengdu for Your In-Person Consultation

With your appointment confirmed, you travel to Chengdu for your own in-person consultation. The specialist reviews your case in person, confirms the treatment plan, and provides a formal cost estimate — this step cannot be completed remotely at a public hospital. China Care's bilingual coordinator accompanies you throughout. Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU) serves direct flights from most major Asian, European, and Middle Eastern cities.
