According to the socialized medicine system of the university, faculty and students on the South Campus must see doctors at the Clinic if they are ill. If they would like to go to other hospitals outside the campus (including Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital and the South Division of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital), they have to go through transfer procedures as follows:

For in-patients who cannot be treated because of limits in expertise and equipments in the South Campus Clinic, they may be transferred to appointed hospitals after discussion by doctors in the department or suggestion by the head of the department and approval by deputy director in charge of medicine (except cases of emergency).

2. For patients deemed to be transferred by the doctor, they must be approved by the attending doctor or above (except cases of emergency), and a transfer note is issued to the designated hospitals for once only. For reimbursement of the medical fees incurred at other hospitals, the transfer note must be presented together with the bills at the Public Medical Care Management Section of the Office of Finance and University Assets (address: third floor, Clinic Building, Tel: 020-84114118). Without going through the transfer procedures, all the medical costs outside should be paid by the patient himself/herself.
