Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital (四川省医学科学院·四川省人民医院) traces its origins to 1941 as the Central University Medical School Affiliated Hospital. Today it is one of southwest China's largest comprehensive hospitals, operating 4,132 inpatient beds across multiple campuses and serving over 4 million outpatient visits annually. It was among the first batch of Grade 3A hospitals in China (1989) and, in 2002, merged with the Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences, creating a unified clinical-research platform.
The hospital's clinical strengths span cardiovascular medicine, neurology, respiratory medicine, and emergency trauma care. It holds 7 National Clinical Key Specialties and operates a comprehensive medical alliance network across Sichuan Province. Technical capabilities include Da Vinci robotic surgery, advanced interventional cardiology, and minimally invasive neurosurgery.
As the flagship hospital of Sichuan Province, it serves as the ultimate referral centre for complex cases from across a province of more than 80 million people. China Care provides full coordination and interpretation support for international patients — from initial case review and department matching to on-the-ground assistance throughout your stay in Chengdu.
The hospital holds national-level designation in 7 clinical specialties including cardiovascular, neurology, respiratory, and emergency medicine.
