Tracing its history to Boxi Hospital, founded in 1883, the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University is a Grade 3A general teaching hospital with its main Shizi Street and Pingjiang campuses. Its haematology department (thrombosis and haemostasis, leukaemia, stem-cell transplantation) is highly regarded in China, and its spine surgery, cardiology and neurosurgery are also strong. MedHelpChina handles record translation, specialist matching and escort.

What foreign patients should know
We have not confirmed a dedicated international department; foreign patients usually attend the VIP or specialist clinics, ideally with a coordinator.
- Blood disorders: Bring recent blood counts, bone-marrow aspirate and biopsy reports, flow cytometry, genetic / cytogenetic results and past treatment records.
- Stem-cell transplant assessment: Needs full history and donor matching information; it takes time, so start early.
- ID: Bring your original passport to register.
- Language: Clinics are mainly Chinese-speaking; a MedHelpChina coordinator translates throughout.
