AT A GLANCEThe university reported the Zhangjiang campus opening on September 26, 2024. For visiting families, the practical next step is to confirm the campus on the appointment before choosing accommodation or transport. In this article[What the university reported](#article-section-1)[What to confirm for an individual visit](#article-section-2)[How to use this update](#article-section-3)[Planning checklist](#article-checklist)[Sources](#article-sources) ## What the university reported Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine reported the opening of SCMC’s Zhangjiang campus on September 26, 2024. The announcement described a focus on complex pediatric diseases, particularly hematology and oncology, and a complementary role alongside the Dongfang Road site. It listed planned capacity of 500 beds, eight operating rooms and 32 bone marrow transplant units. These are figures from the opening announcement, not a statement of current beds, waiting times or availability. The same report said patient acceptance was expected after the National Day holiday following testing and drills. ## What to confirm for an individual visit The opening report helps explain why a search result may show more than one SCMC location. It does not assign an individual child to a campus. A family should ask the hospital to confirm the appointment location and receiving department before making arrangements. - Which campus, building and department is named on the appointment? - Are all proposed visits at the same campus? - Where should the family arrive, and at what time? - Would any further visit require different accommodation or transport? ## How to use this update Keep campus confirmation with the rest of the visit plan and share the confirmed destination with the hotel or transport coordinator. If an appointment changes, check the location again instead of assuming only the date has changed. This is an archive-based background update published by ChildMedCare in 2026. It summarizes the dated university announcement; it is not a new 2026 opening announcement or an assessment of current clinical capacity. ## Planning checklist - Read the original dated announcement - Confirm the current appointment campus - Use confirmed details for hotel and transfer planning ## Sources & further reading - [SJTUSM: Zhangjiang campus opening announcement, September 26, 2024 ↗](https://www.shsmu.edu.cn/english/info/1376/5079.htm)Event date, planned capacity and campus focus as reported at opening.
