Fudan University Institute of Hospital Management (复旦大学医院管理研究所) specialty reputation ranking. Note that Fudan's whole-hospital list assigns letter grades (A++++–A) and explicitly does not order hospitals sharing the same grade.

Fudan states that its ranking's content and data may not be reproduced or cited by any website, media organisation or individual without the institute's written consent. We have not obtained that consent. This site reports individual ranking facts with attribution and a back-link rather than reproducing any table, but whether per-fact citation with attribution falls inside the notice is not settled — we are disclosing the constraint rather than claiming compliance with it.

Harbin Medical University

The hospital's own department index lists a pharmacy department (药学部) under its medical-technology and auxiliary departments, but that entry's link points back to the index page itself and the hospital publishes no separate page introducing the department, so no account of the department could be read. The only fact confirmed from the hospital's own pages is the name of the department.

The page's own text is cut off mid-sentence at the word for the Changying campus, so what it says about the campuses the department covers is not complete on the page.

Ward and room rates

Published daily rates for an inpatient stay, wherever the patient is admitted. In Chinese hospitals the multiplier is ward class, not privacy: a higher-grade ward costs many times more than a general one, while a single room costs only a little more than a shared one.

What a hospital bed costs per day in Beijing
  • General ward bed¥50
    / day
  • Three-bed room¥60
    / day
  • Intensive care unit bed¥60

  • Single room¥80

  • ISO-7 cleanroom bed¥300
    / day
  • Special protective ward bed¥1,100
    / day

Published daily rates. The spread across room types is small — a single room costs ¥30 more than a shared one — while the spread across ward classes is 22 times. The multiplier in a Chinese hospital is ward class, not privacy.
