Healthcare in Shanghai
Expats will want to use one of Shanghai's private medical services. Public services are hit and miss; while some small procedures are usually fine in public medical clinics, serious operations and check-ups should be done by institutions with international standards. Fortunately there are many of these catering for expats in Shanghai.
It is important to have medical insurance while in Shanghai to afford care in private hospitals which should be accustomed to dealing with expats' healthcare insurance providers.
Doctors in private hospitals will be able to speak English, many of them are expats themselves. There are also medical clinics that combine both western and eastern medicines. Insurance is often included in relocation packages but employees will want to check carefully what is included, such as dental and optical procedures.

For all said about private medical services, the Shanghai population, the great majority of whom use public medical services, have a very high life expectancy, hovering around 81 years, which meets or exceeds that of developed countries around the world.
