About the hospital

Nanjing First Hospital (typically corresponding to the core public hospital within the Nanjing First Hospital / Nanjing First Hospital Group system) is a long-established comprehensive hospital with strong local capacity for managing complex and severe cases. It generally has a solid foundation in cardiology, gastroenterology, oncology, urology, orthopedics, emergency and critical care, and multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment. Because public reporting, campus changes, and annual report release timing are not fully consistent, core operating indicators such as bed capacity, outpatient volume, and surgical volume should be verified against the hospital's annual report and the latest official disclosures from the competent authorities. In terms of cross-border medical competitiveness, the hospital is better suited to Chinese patients who value cost-effectiveness, faster local referrals, and convenient Chinese-language communication, while it is generally less developed than national-level international medical centers in international patient services, English guidance, cross-border payment, and direct billing with overseas insurers.

My father has severe coronary artery disease and recently developed frequent symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath. We came to the Department of Cardiology at Nanjing First Hospital for treatment. The attending physician was not only highly skilled, but also successfully performed a coronary stent placement procedure for my father. The doctor was also very patient and attentive, and answered all of our concerns in detail before and after the procedure. My father is recovering very well now, his chest tightness has completely resolved, and all follow-up cardiovascular indicators have returned to normal. We are deeply grateful to the doctor for the care and treatment!

I had been suffering from a lumbar disc herniation for several years, and in severe episodes I could not even walk. After being recommended by others, I came to the Department of Orthopedics at Nanjing First Hospital. The doctor made an extremely accurate diagnosis and recommended minimally invasive surgery. The surgeon’s technique was highly skilled, and the incision was very small. During ward rounds, the doctor was also gentle and always asked patiently about how I was feeling. It has been three months since the surgery, and the numbness in my leg has completely disappeared. I can now get out of bed and walk freely, and my quality of life has improved greatly. I sincerely give this high praise!

The knee osteoarthritis that had troubled me for many years was finally effectively treated at Nanjing First Hospital. The orthopedic specialist was very kind and extremely thorough during the consultation, and based on my condition, developed a total knee replacement surgical plan for me. The surgeon’s technique was highly skilled, with a small incision and meticulous suturing. After recent rehabilitation training, I am now able to walk independently, the joint pain has completely disappeared, and my quality of life has improved greatly. I sincerely thank the medical team here.
