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.

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
    / day
  • Single room¥80
    / day
  • 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.

ItemPublished price
General ward bed
Ward rate · Standard public ward
$7/ day¥50
Three-bed room
Ward rate · Standard public ward
A three-bed room costs only ¥20/day more than a general bed, and a single room only ¥30 more. The room-type spread in China is small — it is ward class, not privacy, that drives cost.
$9/ day¥60
Single room
Ward rate · Standard public ward
Paying for a single room in China is a cheap proposition. Paying for a higher-grade ward is not — see the special protective ward figure, which is 22× the general ward.
$12/ day¥80
Intensive care unit bed
Ward rate · Standard public ward
$9/ day¥60
ISO-7 cleanroom bed
Ward rate · Standard public ward
Used for transplant and other protected-ward protocols.
$45/ day¥300
Special protective ward bed
Ward rate · Special protective ward
22× the general ward rate. This is the single best-sourced illustration of what drives cost in Chinese hospitals, and the reason a patient should ask about ward class rather than room type.
$164/ day¥1,100
