Preparing for Medical Travel to China: A Pre-Departure Checklist
Confirm appointments, records, entry requirements, medicines, payments and recovery arrangements before medical travel to China.
A Health Checkup and a Specialist Visit in China: What to Sequence
A checkup screens. It does not diagnose a symptom you already have. Book the specialist visit separately, put the order in writing, and keep provider fees apart from coordination.
Cancer Treatment in China: What to Confirm Before You Travel
There is no fixed price, and an approval is not eligibility. Confirm a written plan, the biomarker question, an itemised estimate and the records a hospital still needs before you book.
Genetic Testing in China: What to Verify Before a Sample Is Taken
A lower fee or a busy laboratory does not tell you whether a genetic test is the right one. Confirm the laboratory, the assay, the specimen, the written quote and whether a doctor at home can use the report.
Rapid Molecular Testing in China: What Travelers Should Confirm
A rapid molecular test is not a nationwide home service. Confirm the laboratory, the targets, the fee and who will interpret the result. Severe symptoms belong with local urgent care or 120.
A Visa Guide for Medical Travel to China: Transit, Hainan and Consular Visas
China's published notices do not describe a separate medical-tourism visa. The 240-hour visa-free transit and Hainan's visa-free entry are immigration rules with named limits. A hospital booking is not permission to enter.

Three Inbound Patient Groups in China: How to Choose a City and a Trip
As of 6 October 2026, overseas Chinese, first-time visitors and patients from countries where care is already available plan a China trip differently. A group label does not choose the hospital, the visa or the bill.
When to Start Planning Medical Care in China
As of 6 October 2026, the useful order is the service, the record, the visa category, then a date the hospital has actually offered. This page does not set a turnaround time.
Innovation Drug Access in China: Three NMPA Approvals, Reviewed in October 2026
As of 6 October 2026, three mainland China decisions show different routes from an NMPA authorisation to treatment: a CLDN18.2 CAR-T for a defined gastric-cancer population, a pirtobrutinib label covering CLL/SLL across lines of therapy, and a new 11.25 mg leuprorelin microsphere strength. Approval is not the same thing as a hospital appointment or an individual bill.
A Morning Health Checkup in China, Station by Station
