Taikang Tongji (Wuhan) Hospital is a high-quality, non-profit general hospital fully invested by Taikang Insurance Group Inc., a Fortune Global 500 company, and managed in collaboration with Tongji Hospital affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Unveiled on February 14, 2020, amidst the fierce battle against the epidemic, the hospital was honored with the prestigious title of “Advanced Collective in the National Fight Against the COVID-19 Epidemic” awarded by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council, and the Central Military Commission. In 2025, it was unveiled as the “Taikang Clinical College of Wuhan University” and the “Internship and Training Base of Wuhan University.” In April 2026, it was accredited as a Grade III Class A general hospital.

Since its establishment, the hospital has adhered to the integrated development of medical care, education, and research. It currently boasts two provincial-level key clinical specialties (Information Department and Clinical Pharmacy), two provincial-level key clinical construction specialties (Thoracic Surgery and Health Management Center), five municipal-level key clinical specialties (including Pathology), and six municipal-level key clinical construction specialties (including Colorectal and Anal Surgery). Meanwhile, the hospital places high priority on enhancing its capacity for emergency and critical care; its Chest Pain Center, Stroke Center, and Trauma Center have all obtained accreditation and are operating efficiently. In terms of talent, as of April 1, 2026, the hospital employs 111 physicians with senior professional titles, 32 doctors, and 331 masters degree holders, with seven outstanding talents selected for Wuhan’s “Huanghe Talent” and “Wuhan Talent” programs. Furthermore, Taikang Tongji Hospital continues to deepen its strategic cooperation with Tongji Hospital affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. It has successively introduced numerous renowned experts to serve as academic department directors, chief experts, and part-time experts, thereby promoting discipline construction and improving medical standards through outpatient consultations, ward rounds, surgeries, and academic exchanges.

As the Taikang Clinical College of Wuhan University, Taikang Tongji (Wuhan) Hospital fully leverages Wuhan University’s comprehensive strengths in talent development, scientific research, and discipline construction. By actively integrating high-quality resources in medical care, education, and research, the hospital achieves resource sharing to enhance the level and quality of medical services. In terms of talent development, the hospital has been designated as an “Internship and Training Base of Wuhan University” and welcomed the first cohort of students from the Taikang Class in Clinical Medicine at Wuhan University last year. Regarding discipline construction, serving as Taikang’s flagship hospital for medical care, education, and research, the hospital focuses on its “6+N” disciplinary strategy. It has jointly established six teaching and research sections with Wuhan University, covering neurology, longevity, stomatology, internal medicine, surgery, and oncology. By benchmarking against top-tier international clinical colleges, the hospital is committed to collaboratively building a high-level hub for disciplinary expertise and talent.

As a representative of insurance-funded healthcare initiatives, Taikang is continuously building an innovative closed-loop health model that integrates “insurance payment + medical services.” By adhering to its distinctive approach of combining insurance with healthcare and integrating medical care with elderly care, Taikang enables a growing number of its customers to enjoy more convenient and higher-quality medical and health services. At the event, the Taikang Health Ambassador Program was officially launched nationwide. As a key initiative in Taikang’s implementation of its strategy for insurance-healthcare synergy and medical-elderly care integration, Taikang Health Ambassadors help customers identify appropriate specialist resources. They also assist customers in accessing high-quality medical resources, such as premium pharmaceuticals and medical devices, provide in-hospital consultation accompaniment services, and achieve integrated service and claims processing, thereby delivering a customer-centric healthcare journey.

Professor Wang Zhihua, Dean of Taikang Clinical College at Wuhan University and Executive President of Taikang Tongji (Wuhan) Hospital, stated that moving from the “Grade 3A Honor” to a “New Highland of Three Innovations,” Taikang Tongji (Wuhan) Hospital will take its Grade 3A accreditation as a new starting point. The hospital will actively integrate into national strategies and adhere to three core development concepts: building a new highland for technological innovation through an integrated “medical care, teaching, and research” system; creating a new highland for integrated development via the new paradigm of “integration of medical care, insurance, and elderly care”; and establishing a new highland for value-based healthcare with “full life-cycle” quality. This marks a new phase of transformation and leapfrog development, forging a gold-standard brand in longevity medicine to serve centenarian lives in the era of longevity.
