Advantages
Why China
Advanced equipment, high surgical volume, and short waiting times — at a fraction of Western private-clinic pricing.
Top-tier hospitals
Only 三级甲等 (Grade 3A) public hospitals — the highest accreditation tier in China's system.
Days, not months
Specialist appointments typically within 2–5 days. No year-long queues.
Transparent pricing
Fixed package fees, quoted up front. Hospital fees paid directly to the hospital.
Full interpretation
A dedicated interpreter for every consultation — not a shared translation device.
Records in English
Discharge summaries, imaging reports and prescriptions translated into English.
One coordinator
The same person from first message to final follow-up. No handoffs, no call centre.
