Shanghai Opens World-Class Medical Clinic

As China’s tourism industry grows rapidly, the question is bound to arise: What happens if you get sick or injured while traveling there? Some hospitals and clinics are locally based but cater to foreigners and expats. However, the newest one—WorldPath Clinic International, in Shanghai (worldpathclinic.cn)—was founded through a partnership of healthcare professionals in China and the U.S. The clinic was designed to meet the same standards as top U.S. medical facilities, and it has a state-of-the-art ambulatory center. WorldPath’s service providers include top Shanghai doctors, physicians visiting from the U.S., and U.S.-trained but Shanghai-based physicians. Follow-up services can be arranged with partner WorldPath Medicine, a U.S.-based network of physicians affiliated with leading medical institutions in Boston.
