Overview
The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University is a general hospital in Guangzhou. The hospital lists three Guangzhou campuses — the Yuexiu main campus on Zhongshan Er Road, Huangpu and Nansha.
Two units are relevant to international patients. On the main campus, the Private Medical Service & Healthcare Center (特需医疗中心) offers multidisciplinary outpatient clinics, inpatient rooms and health examinations, and states that it can bill contracted commercial insurers directly. Its official Chinese page does not mention foreign-language service.
At the Nansha campus, the International Medical Center (国际医疗中心) opened in 2023. The hospital describes it as having its own outpatient, inpatient, imaging, endoscopy and operating facilities, a direct-settlement platform for commercial insurance, and multilingual service — although the specific languages are not listed. The two units are on different campuses, so check which campus your appointment is at.
