Medical in Shanghai Without BS

PrintE-mail

Shanghai doesn't exactly offer the healthiest of lifestyle options. Between the dangerous traffic, air pollution, late night eating and drinking binges, we oftentimes neglect our physical well-being.

One of the first things that all Expats should become familiar with upon first arriving to Shanghai is how to navigate the medical system. It's quite different from the system we're used to back home and sometimes can be down-right frightening (do you ever notice that nobody pulls over for the ambulances?)

We don't want to scare you though. So we've prepared a few good tips that you should hopefully find useful in a difficult situation.

 

Download our "Medical in Shanghai Without BS" Guide
Use our helpful cheat sheet to identify your most important anatomical features - in Chinese! Print the guide and bring it with you to the hospital or pharmacy to ease the communication barriers between you and your doctor, nurse or local pharmacist. To download the PDF version, click on the links below:

 

Get a list of medical facilities in Shanghai (provided by the US Consulate General, updated 2008)
The US Consulate General usually keeps a summary of medical facilities in and around Shanghai with addresses and contact phone numbers. Click here for the latest list that was updated in 2008 which also includes Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Please note that the hospitals and clinics mentioned in this document are not endorsed by the US Consulate nor are they endorsed by Love Box.

I have read the blog and found that it really an important one for all those are looking forward about higher education. I am from India and here it’s quite difficult to get a medical admission. This blog is really a blessing for those who are not eligible to gain admission here. I will definitely share this post with all those I know, who are waiting for higher education. All the details including the list of medical facilities there are provided in this post and the facility to download the complete guide for the admission is also provided, which is really useful.
