Going to a Clinic vs. a Hospital
In the West, family doctors and clinics handle the bulk of the outpatient services. The Chinese, however, prefer to visit public hospitals for most of their health concerns as they believe (often correctly) that the standards of care and cleanliness are better in a public hospital than in a neighborhood clinic. In addition to inpatient and emergency services, they prefer to seek care from public hospitals for even common ailments like strep throat or ear infections.
Public vs. Private
The last two decades have seen incredible change throughout China and the healthcare sector has certainly been through it’s own transformation during that time. One of the biggest changes in the industry has been the country’s opening up to foreign investment.

China Hospital Rating System

Often called the “International” section, some Shanghai public hospitals have VIP wards that cater to expats and wealthy locals.
