Tertiary Care
United Family Healthcare, HEAL Medical, HEAL Oncology, HEAL Fertility, and HKIOC together form the largest international-standard private hospital network in China. Twenty-eight years of clinical operations across the country's major economic hubs.
By the numbers
United Family Healthcare opened the first international-standard private hospital in mainland China in 1997. HKIOC built the largest private oncology team in Hong Kong. HEAL Oncology pioneered cross-border integrated cancer care across the Greater Bay Area. The numbers below describe a network in scale; the protocols connecting them describe a system in motion.

Specialties
United Family Healthcare opened mainland China's first international-standard primary care practice in 1997. Family medicine, preventive screenings, and routine procedures handle the minor and the chronic. Complex cases are referred to the Centres of Excellence below — each led by senior subspecialists in multidisciplinary teams, with protocols and outcomes shared across every site.
Integrated Oncology
Integrated oncology across the network — diagnosis, treatment, surveillance, and survivorship under one team. Hong Kong anchors with the city's largest private oncology team and early access to globally approved drugs.
Women's Health
OB/GYN, advanced reproductive medicine, and minimally invasive surgery. The same care team follows the patient through every stage — adolescence, pregnancy, midlife, and menopause.
Orthopedics & Sports Medicine
Joint replacement, sports-injury repair, and complex reconstruction. The measure of success is what the patient does next — return to work, return to sport, return to walking without pain.
Neuroscience
Stroke care, minimally invasive neurosurgery, and Parkinson's disease management. Diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation coordinated under one neurology team.
Cardiovascular
24/7 cardiac emergency response and interventional procedures, with cardiac surgery and ICU support in the same building.
Pediatrics
From the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit through adolescence. The same paediatric team follows each child as they grow.
Expert Spotlight
A patient here is rarely seen by one clinician alone — a physician, a nurse who knows their history, a pharmacist who knows their other medications, a researcher who knows what trial might apply. 700+ full-time physicians from 25+ countries, 1,000+ visiting specialists, 1,300 nurses. Every physician board-certified. Every nurse bilingual. Five of them below.
Doctor · General Surgery · Beijing
I came to UFH from Peking Union Medical College Hospital after 14 years, drawn by a rare mix of clinical autonomy and academic ambition. In a single year, I've built a minimally invasive thyroid and pancreatic surgery program, launched an AI surgical computer-vision collaboration that has already produced publications and patent applications, taken on the Research Office, and led our team to a world championship at MICCAI 2025.

Three brands, one standard
United Family Healthcare opened mainland China's first international-standard private hospital in 1997. HKIOC built Hong Kong's largest private oncology team. HEAL Oncology pioneered cross-border cancer care across the Greater Bay Area. Rather than choose between them, we built one shared standard underneath.
Unified clinical governance
One credentialing system, one quality review board, one outcomes registry. Every clinician and every site held to the same standard.
Single patient profile across the network
One clinical record across every hospital, clinic, and specialist visit. Imaging, history, and care plan travel with the patient — not the other way around.
Shared safety and audit, global standard
Every site reports into one incident-reporting and root-cause review system, held to international standards for hospital quality and safety.
Primary Care Reinvented
Prime is a membership-based care model that turns the complexity of modern healthcare into one relationship. One team. One record. One digital portal — across every site in the network. Members have a Personal Care Physician who knows them and a Personal Care Manager who answers when they call. Records, results, and care plan live in the portal. Scheduling, second opinions, and logistics are handled by the team. Care, when you need it — nothing in the way when you don't.
A team that knows you
A dedicated Personal Care Physician and Personal Care Manager, paired with you from day one. They know your history, your preferences, and how to reach you.
The network, in your pocket
24/7 access through the member's digital portal — clinical questions, appointments, lab results, and care plan in one place. Scheduling and second opinions handled by your team.
Predictable cost, year-round
One annual fee covers a defined scope of care; member rates apply to everything else. The financial side of healthcare matches the clinical side — planned, transparent, calm.
Longevity Medicine · Coming Fall 2026
Aging is no longer a black box. Every organ in the body has a biological age that can be measured — and changed. Limitless is United Family Healthcare's annual longevity membership built around that premise: measure precisely, intervene with the latest evidence-based protocols, and track the trajectory year over year.
Health check, elevated
The standard imaging and labs you'd expect: whole-body MRI, DEXA, brain EEG, cognitive function. Plus the frontier markers few clinics measure — DNA-methylation biological age, gut microbiome sequencing, and Cosmica organ-specific transcriptomics. Re-measured quarterly on the markers that move.
Evidence-based biohacking
Biohacking, under clinical supervision. HBOT, cryotherapy, infrared and red-light, IV, ozone, Therapeutic Plasma Exchange — applied under UFH protocols, with imaging and specialists upstairs.
A clubhouse in every major city
Membership opens the door to every UFH longevity clubhouse across China. Your biomarker history, care plan, and team are already waiting wherever you are.
Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hong Kong
The Greater Bay Area is one of the world's fastest-growing economies — under-served by international-standard care. Our deepest network sits on both sides of the border: mainland brings scale, Hong Kong brings global access and a regulatory bridge. Patients move freely between them.
Mainland anchors: Shenzhen and Guangzhou
Shenzhen New Frontier UFH leads the GBA — full surgical, medical, and diagnostic depth. Guangzhou UFH extends across the Pearl River Delta.
Hong Kong differentiation: HKIOC and HEAL Medical
Hong Kong's largest private oncology team. Early access to globally approved cancer drugs and advanced radiotherapy, brought to the patient first.
New movement. New opportunities.
Cross-border movement is growing both ways. Radiology reports flow live with Hong Kong's eHealth system. Elderly Health Care Vouchers accepted at Shenzhen UFH. North for affordable drugs, south for novel ones via Hong Kong's "1+" pathway.
International Medical Services
For the rarest and most complex cases, the right answer can sit with a single subspecialist at a single hospital on the other side of the world. International Medical Services finds them — and walks the patient through what follows.
AI-assisted global search
Across academic medical centres in the United States, Europe, Japan, and Hong Kong, we identify the subspecialist whose practice has focused on the exact condition for years.
Direct working relationships
Not brokered referrals. Mayo Clinic's international office is operated by our team in Shanghai, and City of Hope's in Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
A clinical case team end-to-end
Case preparation, travel, treatment, and the follow-up that returns the patient into the network at home — handled by one team.

On Clinical Safety and Standards
A patient walking into any of our hospitals should meet the same standard of care — same credentialing, same protocols, same review of outcomes. Most of the work that makes that true is invisible to the patient.

Chief Medical Officer, United Family Healthcare
The clinical rigour of an academic medical centre. The attentiveness of being known by name. Both, on every visit.
