The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University (西安交通大学第一附属医院) is a National Medical Center (辅导类) candidate and the most internationally experienced hospital in Northwest China. It operates the region's only dedicated proton therapy system, treats patients from 40+ countries annually through its International Diagnosis & Treatment Department, and has trained health professionals from 96 countries over 30 years. Its English-language official website (en.jdyfy.com) and dedicated international patient wing make it the most accessible Xi'an hospital for patients coming from overseas. For the right case, it offers proven international infrastructure alongside world-class clinical capability — but whether it's the appropriate option for your situation depends on your diagnosis and objectives. China Care helps you work that out before you travel.
The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University (西安交通大学第一附属医院) traces its origins to 1937, when faculty from Peking University Medical College relocated westward during the War of Resistance, laying the foundation for modern Western medicine in Northwest China. Today, it is a National Medical Center (辅导类) candidate — one of the highest classifications a Chinese hospital can hold — and serves as the flagship teaching hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University's medical school. It operates across multiple campuses including the main Yanta campus and the new Lugang campus in the Xi'an International Trade & Logistics Park.
The hospital is designated by the Shaanxi Provincial Health Commission as an official designated hospital for international patients. Its International Diagnosis & Treatment Department (established 2017) includes a dedicated international patient wing, multilingual service team (English, Japanese, Korean), bilingual documentation, and commercial insurance direct billing with major international providers. The hospital also maintains an English-language website (en.jdyfy.com) — a rarity among Chinese public hospitals.
Beyond clinical care, the hospital has trained health professionals from 96 countries over 30 years through its international education programmes — the largest such programme of any Chinese medical institution. This has created a network of clinical partners and alumni across Central Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, making it a recognised destination for patients from those regions. For international patients seeking treatment in Northwest China, no hospital offers a more established international infrastructure.
The hospital operates Northwest China's first and only proton therapy system — a critical treatment option for tumours adjacent to critical structures (skull base, brainstem, optic nerve, spinal cord) and paediatric cancers. For patients whose cancer type is suitable for proton therapy, this is a uniquely available treatment in the region, offered at significantly lower cost than equivalent care in the US, Europe, or Japan.
Among all Xi'an hospitals, this one has the most mature international patient programme: a dedicated international wing, multilingual physician coordination, English medical documentation, and direct billing with international insurers. The hospital is an official designated hospital for international patients by the Shaanxi Provincial Health Commission. China Care complements this by providing end-to-end coordination from initial case review through to on-the-ground support.
With health professionals trained from 96 countries and active Belt & Road medical cooperation programmes, the hospital has established clinical pathways for patients from Central Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Recent cases include patients from Kazakhstan and Mongolia treated through the hospital's international coordination team. This experience translates into practical competence in managing cross-border care logistics.
