About the Hospital
A National Medical Giant With Unmatched Clinical Depth in Central China
Founded in 1900, Tongji Hospital is affiliated with Tongji Medical College at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) and consistently ranks among China's top five hospitals by clinical reputation, research output, and surgical volume. With over 40 clinical departments, it is one of the largest hospitals in China.
The hospital is nationally recognised for organ transplantation — liver, kidney, and pancreas — as well as CAR-T cell therapy and haematological malignancies. Tongji's liver cancer surgery programme manages complex hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases that are declined elsewhere, and its transplantation volumes place it among the top three transplant centers in the country.
For international patients, Tongji's International Medical Center (IMC) manages the coordination of foreign cases, including S2 medical visa documentation. With over 4,000 inpatient beds and more than 4 million outpatient visits annually, the scale of activity means Tongji's specialist teams carry genuine clinical authority. Learn more about CAR-T therapy access in China.
"Tongji's clinical depth in transplantation and haematology reflects decades of surgical innovation — patients come here when the condition is complex and the stakes are high."
Why Patients Choose Tongji

CAR-T and Haematology Authority
One of China's highest-volume centers for NMPA-approved CAR-T cell therapy, bone marrow transplantation, lymphoma, leukaemia, and myeloma. Multiple active clinical trials run in parallel to standard treatment pathways. Learn more about CAR-T eligibility criteria.
National Organ Transplantation Center
Nationally designated center for liver, kidney, and pancreas transplantation. Thousands of procedures performed over decades of operation, placing Tongji among the shortest average wait times for organ availability among China's major transplant centers.
IMC With S2 Visa Experience
Tongji's International Medical Center has processed hundreds of medical visa invitation letters. Staff understand the documentation Chinese embassies require and issue formal invitation letters confirming treatment appointments. China Care works directly with the IMC coordination team.

How China Care Can Help
Whichever stage you're at, China Care's role is the same: help you make an informed decision, not just a booking.
How is Tongji ranked nationally and what is that based on?
Tongji Hospital is consistently ranked in the top-tier of the Fudan University Hospital Rankings, which evaluate clinical reputation scores from medical professionals nationwide alongside scientific output metrics. In several specialties, including organ transplantation, Tongji ranks in the top three nationally. Competing with Beijing and Shanghai institutions at this level reflects genuine clinical depth rather than geographic proximity to research centers.
Am I eligible for CAR-T therapy at Tongji Hospital?
NMPA-approved CAR-T therapy at Tongji is available for patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), and multiple myeloma, typically after at least two prior lines of treatment. The team reviews pathology, CD19 or BCMA expression status, and prior treatment history. China Care submits your case for pre-travel assessment before you commit to travelling. Learn more about CAR-T eligibility and costs.
How does the organ transplant process work for international patients?
International patients undergo pre-transplant evaluation including blood typing, crossmatch testing, and general health assessment. Chinese law permits international patients to receive transplants at designated centers. Tongji has among the shorter average wait times for liver and kidney availability compared to many Western centers. Plan a minimum of 4–8 weeks in Wuhan for a liver transplant procedure.
How does Tongji support S2 medical visa applications?
Tongji's IMC issues official hospital invitation letters confirming the treatment appointment, estimated duration, and attending physician details. China Care prepares a full supporting documentation package alongside the invitation letter. Most S2 visas are processed within 5–10 business days of a complete application submission.
What do treatments cost at Tongji compared to Western hospitals?
NMPA-approved CAR-T therapy at Tongji costs approximately USD 60,000–90,000 including hospitalisation, compared to USD 400,000–500,000 in the United States. Liver transplantation costs approximately USD 30,000–60,000 at Tongji, compared to USD 300,000–500,000 in the US. All costs are quoted directly by the hospital.
What support is available during my stay in Wuhan?
Tongji's IMC coordinates all international patient cases including accommodation recommendations and administrative support. China Care provides supplementary on-ground coordination. Wuhan has good international connectivity and a range of accommodation options at reasonable cost for accompanying family members.
