About the Hospital

A Public Hospital Built Around Authentic TCM

Shenzhen Bao'an Authentic TCM Treatment Hospital was opened on 18 March 2019 as China's first authentic TCM treatment hospital — a public institution that treats with Chinese medicine only, while using modern imaging and laboratory services for diagnosis and safety monitoring. The Han-Tang style campus sits at the foot of Pingluan Mountain in Xixiang, a 10-minute drive from Bao'an International Airport and directly served by Metro Line 12.

Clinically, the hospital is organised around classical TCM — a classical-formula ward, a TCM therapy centre, and centres for prevention ('zhì wèi bìng'), oncology, geriatric rehabilitation and complex-disease consultation. It runs 32 specialty clinics covering insomnia, post-stroke care, diabetes, gynaecology, pain and others, and has a dedicated International/HK-Macao-Taiwan TCM practitioners department that has served tens of thousands of international and cross-border patients since 2023.

For patients who specifically want treatment with Chinese medicine — not a mix with Western medicine — this is the hospital purpose-built for that model in the Greater Bay Area.

How China Care Helps You Reach the 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.

Step 1 · Tell Us What You Need
Submit Your Records to China Care

Send your medical records and questions to China Care. We review your situation, prepare a bilingual case summary, and help you compare this hospital with other options in Shenzhen.

records review · 1–2 days
Step 2 · Hospital Access
China Care Arranges and Confirms Your Appointment

China Care registers your case, translates your records, and confirms your appointment date, department and specialist before you arrange your travel. For complex cases, an initial consultation may be arranged to scope the plan.

appointment confirmed · fixed fee
Step 3 · In-Person Consultation
Travel for Your In-Person Consultation

With your appointment confirmed, you travel for your in-person consultation. The specialist reviews your case, confirms the plan, and provides a formal cost estimate. China Care's bilingual coordinator accompanies you.

Step 4 · Treatment
Admission & Treatment

Once you agree to proceed, admission is arranged. China Care's coordinator remains on hand throughout your stay. Ward and administration operate primarily in Mandarin, so on-site escort is strongly recommended for non-Chinese speakers.

Step 5 · After You Leave
Discharge and Follow-Up

Bilingual discharge documentation is issued on completion of care. For ongoing treatment or follow-up, remote consultation may be possible depending on the individual physician — China Care can enquire on your behalf after you return home.

Common Questions

What patients ask about this hospital

What does 'authentic TCM' mean here?
This hospital treats with Chinese medicine only — herbal formulas, acupuncture, moxibustion, tuina and classical therapies. Modern imaging and laboratory tests are used for diagnosis, monitoring and safety, but Western pharmaceuticals are not part of the treatment model.
Is it suitable for non-Chinese patients?
Yes — it operates a dedicated International/HK-Macao-Taiwan TCM practitioners department, supports online registration for cross-border patients, and has served a large volume of international visitors since 2023. China Care arranges bilingual coordination and interpretation.
Does authentic TCM treat cancer?
The hospital runs a TCM oncology programme within a provincial key-speciality construction project. Whether a TCM approach is appropriate for your case is an individual clinical decision to be made with the hospital's specialists; China Care does not promise treatment outcomes.
How does payment work?
Fees are paid directly to the hospital in RMB. Insurance coverage varies — confirm directly with the hospital. China Care does not handle or mark up medical payments.
