Emergency Medicine

The Department of Emergency Medicine at Shanghai United Family Hospital and Clinics (SHU) is the place to come for emergency, from heart attacks to trauma.

Our medical staff includes internationally trained and experienced emergency physicians and nurses with comprehensive emergency treatment capabilities that go far beyond that of many specialist physicians found in other emergency rooms throughout China. We have in-house specialists, including a pediatrician, available 24 hours a day. Our facilities are specially organized for emergencies. Hospital operating rooms as well as a full supply of triple-tested blood are available 24 hours a day if needed.

Our 24 hour Shanghai Emergency Hotline, (021) 2216 3999, links you to our doctors and nurses at all hours of the day to help you in emergency situation. We can provide emergency advice in both English and Chinese, and can help translate with ambulance drivers, emergency workers, or others nearby if you have a problem. In many cases, a taxi or private car may prove to be the fast way to come to our facility. If you need, however, our professional emergency staff can also help contact the national ambulance service and translate your whereabouts to them so as to allow for an ambulance to be dispatched to your location as rapidly as possible.
