Frequently asked questions
What to expect before you plan a visit.
Can international patients enquire with public hospitals in China?
Some tertiary hospitals have international departments or processes for overseas patients. We can help ask about the right department and current intake requirements. Each hospital decides whether it can accept a patient or offer an appointment.
Can you help with visa paperwork?
We can explain the documents usually requested for travel and enquire about hospital invitation paperwork where available. Requirements depend on your nationality and circumstances. Visa approval is decided by the relevant authority.
Is interpretation available during a hospital visit?
We can arrange Chinese-English interpretation and hospital accompaniment as part of visit planning. Tell us your language needs when you enquire so we can check what support is available.
How soon can I get an appointment?
Timing depends on the hospital, specialty and your case. We can enquire about availability, but we cannot promise a booking or a fixed timeframe before the hospital confirms it.
How much will treatment cost?
Costs depend on the hospital, proposed care and individual circumstances. A preliminary estimate is not a confirmed hospital quote. We cannot promise a particular saving compared with care in another country.
