How it works

A structured process from first email to China hospital inquiry.

The goal is not to rush a patient into travel. The goal is to clarify whether a China medical pathway is realistic, suitable, and worth discussing with providers.

  1. 01. Email your case requestTell us your country, condition, current diagnosis if known, treatment goal, timeline, preferred city, and what records are available.
  2. 02. Choose the right first stepWe suggest whether to start with a readiness review, record translation, hospital shortlist, appointment inquiry, or visit support plan.
  3. 03. Organize records and questionsWe help prepare a concise case summary, translate key documents, and list the questions hospitals or physicians need to answer.
  4. 04. Compare care pathwaysWe assess whether a public tertiary hospital, international department, private hospital, premium clinic, or staged route appears most practical.
  5. 05. Coordinate inquiry and visit preparationWhen appropriate, we help confirm required materials, appointment routes, timelines, payment expectations, visit logistics, and follow-up communication.

Qualified first inquiry

What to send so your first email can turn into a usable China pathway.

The highest-intent inquiries are specific enough to screen quickly and structured enough to route toward the right hospital model. This reduces back-and-forth and makes it easier to tell whether Shanghai or another China option is worth pursuing.

Your medical question

State the main decision clearly: second opinion, surgery comparison, cancer treatment review, diagnostics, fertility, dental work, rehabilitation, or another defined goal.

Diagnosis and timeline

Include the diagnosis if known, when symptoms or treatment started, what has already been tried, and whether the case feels urgent.

Available records

List what you can send now: imaging reports, pathology, labs, discharge notes, physician letters, medication lists, and whether they still need translation.

Travel and budget constraints

Mention your country, preferred city if any, possible travel window, language needs, and whether you are comparing public hospitals, private hospitals, or both.

Before sending

Use this page as a qualification filter, not a promise of hospital acceptance.

  • A concise case summary and recent reports usually make hospital routing more realistic.
  • Patients do better when they ask a specific question instead of requesting "the best hospital in China."
  • ChinaMedNav can help with translation, pathway comparison, and appointment inquiry support, but hospitals and physicians decide acceptance, diagnosis, and treatment.
