Wuhan Union Hospital (HUST)
China's national leader in heart transplantation, at one of Wuhan's oldest teaching hospitals with a 160-year history
About
Its flagship program is cardiac transplantation: the Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery department has led China in annual heart-transplant volume for several consecutive years, with survival outcomes at an internationally advanced level, and has performed pioneering pediatric heart-transplant cases. The hospital holds 10 national key (incubating) disciplines and 25 national clinical key specialties, spanning hematology (stem-cell transplantation, leukemia, multiple myeloma), orthopedics (spine, joint, trauma, pediatric and sports medicine — ranked nationally #1 in specialty reputation for over a decade), general surgery, urology, and oncology (including a proton-therapy center).
For international patients, the hospital runs a dedicated International Outpatient Department on the 9th floor of the New Outpatient Building at its main campus, offering appointment-based access across roughly 40 clinical specialties with English-speaking physicians and nursing staff.
