Longhua Hospital

In 1960, a seed of traditional Chinese medicine was planted in Shanghai. This seed blossomed into Longhua Hospital. Longhua Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, stands as a testament to the enduring power of ancient healing practices. It’s one of the four earliest built TCM clinical centers in China, a prestigious institution recognized as a National Civilized Unit and a model TCM hospital. Longhua Hospital isn’t just a place of healing; it’s a hub of knowledge and innovation. It holds the distinction of being the only national TCM clinical research base in China dedicated to researching two specific diseases. The hospital boasts an impressive array of disciplines, including state-level key disciplines, disciplines recognized by the State Administration of TCM, and National clinical key specialties. Longhua Hospital also serves as a training ground for future generations of TCM practitioners, with numerous doctoral candidate supervisors and studios of famed TCM doctors. Imagine walking through the halls where National TCM Masters like Dr. Jiaxiang Liu and Qi Shi once practiced. Their legacy lives on in the precise and benevolent care provided by the hospital staff. Longhua Hospital’s main location is on South Wanping Road in Xuhui District, but its reach extends to a branch in Pudong District and a new campus under construction. With over 4.15 million outpatient visits and around 63,000 discharged patients annually, Longhua Hospital’s impact is undeniable. The hospital’s dedication to “quality first, patients upmost, inheriting and innovating, striving for excellence” is palpable in every interaction. The spirit of “preciseness, benevolence, inheritance, and innovation” permeates the air, guiding the hospital’s pursuit of becoming a world-class institution of traditional Chinese medicine. As you stand before Longhua Hospital, you’re not just witnessing a building; you’re witnessing a living embodiment of a centuries-old tradition, a beacon of hope for those seeking healing and wellness.
