Specify whether your enquiry concerns a hormone-related consultation, infertility assessment or assisted reproduction so it reaches the relevant service.

The hospital has a dedicated cervical and vaginal disease diagnosis and treatment center, with colposcopy services.

Hospital Background and Shanghai Campuses
Founded in 1884 as the Margaret Williamson Hospital, known in Chinese as Ximen Furu Hospital, Red House Hospital developed into a university-affiliated specialist institution for women’s health. The name “Red House” has remained closely associated with the hospital throughout its history.
Its Huangpu campus is in central Shanghai, with separate addresses for gynecology outpatient care, obstetric outpatient care and inpatient services. The Yangpu campus on Shenyang Road opened in 2009.
A Qingpu branch opened in 2023 in Zhujiajiao, extending the hospital’s service network to western Shanghai. Huangpu, Yangpu and Qingpu are geographically separate locations, so the campus named in the appointment confirmation is an important part of planning transport and accommodation.
International Patient Services Overview
The hospital’s appointment guidance includes passports among the identity documents used for real-name booking. Its published building directory also lists an International Medical Department (国际医疗部). An overseas enquiry should include the specialty requested, a short medical history, preferred dates and consultation language.
Before travel, establish the receiving clinic and campus, the registration steps, interpretation arrangements and how medical reports will be collected. For a procedure or admission enquiry, prepare previous records early so the receiving department can explain the assessment and booking process.
Keep a plan for collecting outstanding pathology or other results after the visit, together with a contact route for follow-up appointments. This is particularly useful when the next stage of care will take place in your home country.
