Shanghai, a medical hub in Asia, is ramping up efforts to cater to the needs of an increasingly diverse international population.

Astrid Poghosyan, an Armenian project manager who has called Shanghai home for 16 years, attests to the evolving landscape of international healthcare in the city.

"The medical system and a lot of equipment were renewed," she said during her visit to Huashan Hospital, one of Shanghai's pioneers in international medical services.

Poghosyan was also impressed by the fluent English spoken by doctors and nurses. "Everybody had a very great skill of English language that there was no problem for us to communicate," she said.

Zhou Pu, a doctor at Huashan Hospital's International Medical Center, emphasized the hospital's patient-centric approach.

"Our model emphasizes personalized care, with a dedicated team providing comprehensive support throughout the patient's journey," she said.

In some hospitals, payment procedures have been streamlined to better serve expat patients.
