Why consider Beijing?

Specialist expertise.
More possibilities.

When waiting, cost or finding the right specialist becomes a concern, it can be worth exploring care beyond home. Beijing brings established public hospitals and dedicated specialty teams together in one city.

01 / Expertise

Teams focused on your condition

From cataracts and retinal disease to heart conditions, cancer and neurological care, Beijing has hospitals with dedicated specialist services. We help identify the department relevant to your needs.

02 / Access

Another timeline to explore

If you are facing a long wait for planned care, we can check options in Beijing. Consultation, test and possible treatment dates are confirmed with the hospital before travel; availability depends on your case.

03 / Value

A full cost picture to compare

Considering self-pay care? We help obtain an individual hospital estimate and account for implants, medicines, travel, accommodation, our support fee and follow-up. The useful comparison is the total cost of your visit.

04 / Communication

International services within public hospitals

Some major public hospitals have dedicated international departments. Peking Union Medical College Hospital, for example, describes English-language support and multidisciplinary care through its International Medical Service.

Public-hospital expertise.
Support in English.

At Peking Union Medical College Hospital’s Dongdan campus, the International Medical Service offers outpatient and inpatient care, English-language service and access to multidisciplinary teams. It also describes direct billing arrangements with international insurers.

Care starts with understanding the person.

Start with your needs

What brings you
to Beijing?

You may have a diagnosis, a proposed procedure or simply a concern you want help with. We help identify suitable hospital services and coordinate the practical details.

Dental & oral care

An assessment for missing teeth, restorative dental work or a proposed dental procedure.

Bones, joints & mobility

A specialist review for a joint problem, an orthopaedic treatment recommendation or rehabilitation needs.

Specialist opinions & treatment

A consultation about a heart condition, cancer, a neurological concern or another diagnosis, including questions about an existing treatment plan.

Tests & diagnostic imaging

Help arranging clinician-recommended investigations and a consultation to understand the results and next steps.

Traditional Chinese medicine

A TCM consultation to discuss your goals, the evidence and whether proposed treatments fit with your existing care.

These are starting points. Tell us about other conditions or care needs, too. The treating clinician confirms which tests or treatments are appropriate.

Discuss your needs

A few things
to know first.

No. Start with the care you are looking for and any diagnosis or recommendation you already have. We help identify relevant public hospitals and departments, then check services and availability with them. You do not need to work out the hospital system on your own.

A conversation, at your pace

You have a reason
to come.
Let’s start there.

You don’t need to know which hospital to choose. Tell us what you need, and we’ll help you explore the next step.
