Quick answer
These short summaries describe individual cases published on official Shanghai government pages. They do not establish a typical result, recommend a hospital or treatment, or reproduce patient photos and detailed records. ChinaReady has not reviewed the medical files. Read the reported stage, follow-up limit and original source before drawing any conclusion.
A source may report an evaluation, procedure, discharge or later observation. Those stages are not interchangeable. Discharge does not mean recovery, and a reported improvement does not establish a durable or typical result. Use the original source to understand exactly what was reported.

Read the official-source reportCommon mistakes
- Reading discharge as recovery Discharge means the inpatient stay ended; it does not establish resolution or a long-term result.
- Turning one report into a recommendation An individual case does not show which hospital or treatment is appropriate for someone else.
- Ignoring the reported stage Evaluation, treatment started, treatment completed and follow-up are different stages.
- Relying on the summary instead of the source Open the original official page and note its date, source credit and follow-up limit.
Patient-story FAQ
Are these patient reviews?
No. They are short editorial summaries of individual reports on official Shanghai government pages, with identity minimized and no rating or endorsement.
Does a reported improvement mean the treatment will work for me?
No. A source-reported individual outcome cannot predict another patient's response or establish suitability.
Did ChinaReady review the medical records?
No. ChinaReady reviewed the public source and its wording boundary, not the underlying medical record.
Can I choose a hospital from these stories?
The stories are not a selection tool. Use official service information and ask the hospital whether it can evaluate the case.
