The center
One hospital,
three markets.
Zhuhai sits at the western edge of the Greater Bay Area, minutes from Macao and across the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge from Hong Kong. Zhuhai People’s Hospital built its Xiangshan International Medical Center to serve that geography: a single Class A tertiary hospital designed to receive international patients, Hong Kong and Macao residents, and high-end and commercially-insured domestic patients.
It is also the Zhuhai Hospital of Jinan University and the First Affiliated Hospital of the Macau University of Science and Technology — with ~1.95 million annual visits, 1,680 beds, and Zhuhai’s first National Key Clinical Specialty (the Medical Imaging Center) alongside 9 provincial and 20 municipal key specialties. Structural cardiology, a national stroke center, gynecologic oncology, comfort-care endoscopy and high-end health management anchor the clinical program.
What sets it apart is the cross-border infrastructure: 港澳药械通 access to Hong Kong / Macao innovative therapies, the country’s only Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao triple-plate ambulance, 24-hour cross-border referral, English and Portuguese coordination, and closed-loop insurance direct billing — with a Hengqin campus planned for 2027.
Cross-border services
Built for the Greater Bay Area.
港澳药械通 — Medicine & Device Connect
As Zhuhai's first authorized public hospital, it introduces innovative drugs and devices approved in Hong Kong / Macao ahead of national registration — including the world-first-launch cardiovascular drug inclisiran (LEQVIO), six drugs and four devices in total.
Triple-plate GBA ambulance
In 2025 the hospital launched the country's only Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao triple-licence-plate ambulance and became a designated 24-hour point-to-point cross-border transfer hospital with Hong Kong and Macao.
Insurance direct billing
A closed-loop 'insurance + medical care' model with direct settlement for commercial insurers — simplifying claims and reducing out-of-pocket burden for Hong Kong, Macao and international patients.
Hengqin & GBA integration
A Hengqin cooperation-zone campus is planned for 2027, integrating premium GBA medical resources under a 'high-end care + cross-border service + research translation' model aligned with the Belt-and-Road health market.
