Getting there and getting around

Check the airport and the exact station entrance

The Shuangliu airport operator’s current Chinese metro page lists Lines 10, 19 and 30 with separate terminal access points. In particular, the Terminal 2 East station used by Lines 19 and 30 is distinguished from the Line 10 terminal station. Use those names when planning the route to your accommodation or hospital. Older English travel summaries may describe an earlier network, so check the operator’s current route page before choosing a connection. If you need lifts or a shorter walk, ask the airport or metro operator about the access route rather than inferring accessibility from the line map.

Scope: Operator’s Chinese metro guide for Lines 10, 19 and 30; temporary operator notices take precedence.

Tianfu and Shuangliu are different arrival plans

The airport-to-airport guide identifies Metro Line 19 and an airport bus link between Shuangliu and Tianfu. These connections are useful when your itinerary uses both airports, but an airport transfer is not the same journey as reaching a downtown clinic. Check the airport name on every flight segment and share it with the person meeting you. The linked guide includes arrangements for connecting passengers, whose eligibility should be confirmed with the airline. For a medical visit, allow time for arrival procedures and the onward trip to the actual campus. Check current departures rather than relying on the older guide’s timetable.

Scope: Airport-to-airport transfer options; a 2024 guide, not a guarantee of current departure times or connection eligibility.

How care is organized here

Use the institution’s own campus and outpatient guide

West China Hospital’s patient-service pages separate outpatient guidance, campus transport, screening and special services. Its outpatient guide links appointment-channel information and a campus-specific outpatient distribution notice. This is useful for resolving a concrete enquiry, not a reason to assume every service is in the hospital building most familiar to visitors. Ask which campus and department would review your records, which official channel accepts your identity document, and whether a preliminary review is possible before travel. Keep the written response with the address. A successfully submitted enquiry does not itself confirm a consultation, an interpreter or an examination slot.

Scope: Hospital-published outpatient guide and links; verify current channel and campus directly.

Special-service and international departments have their own scope

The hospital’s special-service center describes separate special outpatient, inpatient and international services, with references to its main and Wenjiang campuses. Treat that as an explanation of service organization, not as a quality comparison with ordinary public care. Ask for the appropriate fee schedule and the precise department before comparing any quotation with another city’s published ordinary consultation charge. Confirm language arrangements and insurance handling directly for the planned visit. The hospital’s description of a service or a cooperation relationship does not establish that the same arrangement is available for every clinician, policy or date.

Scope: The hospital’s description of its special-service center and campuses; institution-published, not independent capability verification.

Health screening

Name the screening campus when enquiring

West China Hospital’s health-management center says it serves individual and group screening clients, and its campus history records a Jinjiang center opening in 2025. This creates an important planning question: where will your own screening take place? Ask for the full center name, campus address and appointment route before booking accommodation. Also ask whether your request is an individual checkup or part of a group arrangement, since a group instruction sheet may not describe your registration process. Request an itemized proposal and confirm whether additional tests need separate appointments. The center’s institutional description is not a clinical recommendation for a particular package.

Scope: Hospital-published individual/group screening information and campus history; confirm the service applicable to you.

Plan for reports and any unfinished tests

The Wenjiang center’s published group guide describes returning the examination guide sheet after testing, electronic report access and a separate report-consultation service. It also distinguishes completing the initial visit from returning for unfinished items. These are useful questions for your own enquiry, even though the document is addressed to group clients. Confirm the individual arrangements, passport handling, report language and whether discussion can occur after departure. Do not simply arrive with a group timetable or copy its preparation instructions. Have the center explain the requirements for your selected tests and confirm how any later clinical follow-up would be arranged.

Scope: Wenjiang campus group-screening guide; not a passport-registration or individual-appointment guarantee.

Before making travel arrangements

Contact the institution to confirm whether it can handle your enquiry, the appointment process, language support and an itemized estimate. A directory entry is not a booking or a clinical recommendation.
