What is the difference between public and private hospitals in Shanghai?

A practical, general-information answer for international patients considering medical care in Shanghai.

Public teaching hospitals often provide broad specialist and multidisciplinary services, while private providers may offer different scheduling, accommodation or language arrangements. Compare the clinical service, credentials, costs and follow-up rather than choosing on branding alone.
