What do I do in an emergency?
In case of an emergency call 5879-9999 or 150-0019-0899, and ask a nurse to come down to meet you at the emergency entrance if it is out of clinic hours (Mon-Fri 9-5pm; Sat-Sun 9-5pm). She can take you up to the 23rd floor to see a doctor immediately. Due to the rules and regulations in China, we are unable to make house-calls and do not have control of the ambulances, so we advice, if possible, to make your own way to the hospital, either by taxi or driver.

Does your hospital provide an ambulance?
Ambulances in Shanghai are run by the Shanghai Medical First Aid Center (also called the Shanghai Ambulance Center ). Medical transport vehicles are based throughout the city and there is a 24-hour dispatch center. People using the ambulance service must pay the driver in RMB cash upon arrival at the hospital.

In general, you can request the ambulance to take you to a specific hospital. To call an ambulance, dial 120 and provide the call center your information. It is best to have someone who speaks Chinese help you.
