West China Hospital International Medical Center
Chengdu, Sichuan — main and Wenjiang campuses
Chronic disease management
Hospital overview
West China Hospital’s special medical centre incorporates its international service and traces its predecessor to the Gold Card International Medical Centre. Its official profile describes outpatient, inpatient and international care across the main and Wenjiang campuses, including chronic disease management.

Care and campus details
Two campuses, one coordinated service
West China’s special medical centre describes outpatient clinics, inpatient wards and international care across the main and Wenjiang campuses. Its model combines specialist-led care with health maintenance and chronic disease management. The published international service includes medical consultation and referral support; the appropriate campus depends on the appointment. [1]
Specialist appointments and chronic care
The centre’s outpatient introduction lists 31 specialties and a weekday clinic model. Its broader service combines specialist-led assessment with chronic disease management. A first appointment can therefore be framed around a new diagnosis, a follow-up decision or a continuing condition. Confirm the clinic, campus and current schedule through the hospital’s booking channels; website notices direct patients to its official WeChat service or Huayitong app. [1] [2]
What an international case review involves
The published consultation pathway distinguishes written review, video consultation and multidisciplinary discussion. It describes selecting the consulting expertise, consent and payment, organizing or translating the medical record, and communicating the resulting opinion. West China’s team coordinates the process. For an enquiry, identify the unresolved decision and ask which format can answer it before requesting a particular overseas doctor. [3]
Inpatient setting and payment preparation
The centre describes single-room inpatient care and international services for patients from overseas and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. It also names cashless arrangements for participating insurance plans. These are different planning questions: ask which campus would receive the patient, what medical records are needed, and whether your insurer has approved the proposed admission. A private room listing is not a room reservation. [1]

Questions about this hospital
Can I arrange a West China consultation before travelling to Chengdu?
The centre describes appointments and pre-visit consultation. Ask for the service, campus and document requirements before booking travel. Its international-care and insurance arrangements are not a guarantee of a named specialist, admission date or cashless billing for your policy. [1]
Is a remote review always a video appointment?
No. The centre describes written, video and multidisciplinary formats. Ask which format is proposed, what materials will be reviewed, who explains the opinion afterwards and whether further local tests may be requested. [3]
Should I go to the main campus or Wenjiang?
The service spans both campuses. Use the campus stated on the appointment confirmation, and ask whether investigations or a later admission will take place there too. Do not plan transport from the centre’s name alone. [1] [2]
What should a hospital quotation include?
Ask for a written breakdown of consultation, investigations, procedures, medicines and any admission or follow-up. Confirm currency, billing unit, validity and exclusions. The treating provider confirms medical costs; Uwell coordination is quoted separately.
Prepare a useful enquiry
- State whether this is a new consultation, follow-up or chronic disease review.
- Prepare a timeline of diagnoses, previous treatment and current medicines.
- Confirm main-campus versus Wenjiang attendance and any referral or insurance documents.
These are coordination prompts, not medical instructions. The hospital may request different records after reviewing your case.
