What treatments can I get?
The hospital runs the full range of specialties. These are the areas international patients come to us for most:
Is medical travel only about saving money?
No. People reach us for three different reasons, and only one of them is the price. We group treatments by why people come for them, so you can find your own reason quickly.
When it costs far less here
The landed cost of the whole trip — treatment, flights and stay — comes in well below the self-pay price at home. Most common for dental implants, heart and major surgery, especially from the US.
When you're stuck in a queue
It may be covered at home, but the wait runs into months. You're scheduled promptly after assessment — common for joint replacement, cataracts, gynaecology and diagnostic scopes, especially from the UK and Canada.
When you're already coming to China
A thorough health screening or a straightforward elective procedure, fitted around time spent in Hangzhou. Many people simply always wanted to see China, and add a check-up to the trip.
Why can I trust the hospital?
