About the Hospital
Shanghai Children's Medical Center (SCMC), affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and co-founded in 1998 through a partnership between the Shanghai Municipal Government and Project HOPE, is China's designated National Children's Medical Center (Southern Hub) and the first children's hospital on the Asian mainland to achieve Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation.
With 1,500 beds and 31 clinical departments, SCMC operates one of the world's largest pediatric cardiac surgery programs, performing over 3,000 congenital heart operations annually with outcomes that benchmark favorably against leading international centers.
The hospital is nationally recognized for pediatric hematologic oncology, neonatology, and pediatric solid tumors, and has established China's first dedicated pediatric 3D-printing medical unit for preoperative planning of complex congenital heart repairs. Serving as the apex pediatric referral center for eastern and southern China, SCMC has built an extensive international clinical trials network and has treated children from across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and beyond.
