Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely yes! China's hospitals welcome international patients. Many major hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou have dedicated International Departments with English-speaking staff, bilingual doctors, and services tailored for foreign patients. Most importantly, foreigners have access to the exact same medical resources, doctors, and equipment as Chinese patients — from world-renowned specialists to cutting-edge technology like Da Vinci robots and proton therapy centers. There is no 'tourist tier' of care; you receive the same treatment.
Extremely worth it! A comprehensive health checkup in China costs only $200-500 USD — about 1/10th of US prices. Top hospitals offer VIP checkup packages with full-body CT, MRI, blood panels, ultrasound, and specialist consultations. You can complete everything in one day and receive an English report. Many medical tourists combine travel and checkups in China.
Medical costs in China are significantly lower than Western countries: Outpatient visits: $20-80, Hospitalization: $100-300/day, Major surgeries: 1/5 to 1/3 of US prices. For example, a heart bypass surgery costs around $15,000-25,000 in China vs $100,000+ in the US. Even basic medical tests are surprisingly affordable — see our complete price guide → to understand just how much you can save on lab tests, imaging, and procedures.
You have several options: 1) 240-Hour Visa-Free Transit — Citizens of 54 countries can stay up to 10 days without a visa (free!), perfect for checkups and consultations. 2) Tourist Visa (L) — For stays up to 30-90 days. 3) Medical Visa (M) — For extended treatment, requires hospital invitation letter.

Yes, solo medical travel is absolutely possible! Here are three ways to overcome the language barrier:

1. DIY Preparation — Use AI translation apps (DeepSeek, Doubao), follow our step-by-step hospital guides, and prepare key medical terms in advance. Many young Chinese doctors understand basic English medical terminology.

2. International Department — Most major hospitals have dedicated international departments with English-speaking staff who handle everything from registration to consultation.

3. Hire a Local Guide — Medical interpreters or local guides ($50-100/day) can accompany you throughout and handle all communication.

💡 Cost Tip: Options 1 and 3 allow you to use standard outpatient departments (the same departments Chinese patients use) instead of International Departments — you can still book specialist consultations and access the same expert doctors, but save 50-70% on costs!
