What we do
Support across the whole journey
We coordinate. We do not diagnose or treat. Every service below exists to remove a practical obstacle between you and the care you have decided to seek.
Specialist & hospital matching
We shortlist clinicians whose declared focus matches your condition — not simply the largest hospital nearby.
Appointment arrangement
We handle registration, scheduling and the practical preparation a Chinese hospital expects before a first visit.
Medical record translation
Your reports, imaging and history prepared in a format Chinese clinicians can act on, with a back-translation summary for you.
Visa & invitation support
Assistance with the documents a medical visa application typically requires, including hospital invitation letters.
Airport pickup
A coordinator meets you on arrival and accompanies you to your accommodation.
Interpretation
On-site interpretation for consultations, examinations and consent discussions.
In the room with you
Someone who understands both sides
A consultation involves more than words. Our interpreters are briefed on your case beforehand, so they can follow the clinical reasoning and make sure nothing important is lost in either direction.
- Medically briefed interpreters — not general translators
- A written summary of what was discussed, in plain English
- Consent explained clearly before you are asked to sign anything
How it works
Eleven steps, one coordinator
A single named coordinator stays with your case from first enquiry to follow-up after you fly home.
- Before you travel — we review your records, shortlist specialists and confirm the appointment.
- On arrival — airport pickup, accommodation guidance and a briefing on what happens next.
- During care — interpretation at consultations, help with admission and hospital paperwork.
- After you return — we forward reports to your doctor at home and stay reachable for follow-up questions.
