# ChildMedCare > ChildMedCare is an independent international family care coordination service connecting overseas families with Shanghai Children’s Medical Center (SCMC), Shanghai, China. SCMC is a designated joint institution of the National Children’s Medical Center (Shanghai), established in 2017. ChildMedCare is not the hospital’s official website. The website’s default language is English. Its priority visitor regions are the United States, Russia, Japan, Southeast Asia and the Middle East; this describes the audience, not guaranteed language, visa, insurance or payment services. ChildMedCare can assist with hotel bookings in China, local pickups and transfers, and accompaniment for hospital visits. Specific arrangements and charges require confirmation. Public information covers the hospital’s specialist strengths, pediatric traditional Chinese medicine inquiries, the inquiry process and visit preparation. Clinical decisions and service availability remain with the hospital. No appointment, price, treatment outcome, clinician, clinical trial or language service is guaranteed by this site. Inquiries and conversations are private and are not public source material. The AI guide provides general coordination information, not diagnosis or medical advice. Visitors may send 3 messages before submitting contact details, and up to 20 in total after doing so; each input allows 500 Unicode characters. After that, AI chat ends and visitors continue with the human care team.
