A check-up that takes one morning

The check-up itself takes a morning at the hospital. You arrive fasting, and the hospital's international department helps you through the day.

Plan 2 to 4 nights in Guangzhou. That leaves time for your results and a review with the doctor.

Why China

What China has going for it

Figures come from official or published sources. Prices are estimates, from October 2026.

  • Services for international patients

    Guangdong has named 25 pilot hospitals with separate services for international patients. Seventeen are in Guangzhou.

  • Add a scan to your check-up

    You can add an MRI or another scan to the same visit. On its own, a scan isn't worth the flight.

  • A big medical city

    Health facilities in Guangzhou handled 194 million patient visits in 2025.

Where you'd be treated

We book appointments at top hospitals in Guangzhou, rated Grade 3A, the top grade in China. Each has an international department that looks after patients from abroad. You get the hospital's name when you decide to go ahead.

What to expect

How it works

Your own plan may differ.

  1. Tell us what you need

    Use the quote form, chat, WhatsApp or WeChat. Tell us your age, any symptoms and what you'd like checked.

  2. Specialists estimate the price

    We pass it to the hospital. Their specialists suggest a package and give an estimated price.

  3. We book your check-up

    Pick your dates. We book the appointment for you and let the hospital know you're coming.

  4. At the hospital

    Arrive fasting and give your appointment details at the international department. They help you from there. Results follow within 1 to 3 days.

Your estimate

What to tell us

We pass it to the hospital's specialists. The more you tell us, the closer the estimate.

Not sure what matters? Tell us what you know. We'll ask if the specialists need more.

Good to know

Before you decide

Some of these may change your mind.

  • Packages vary a lot. Your estimate lists what's included, such as CT, MRI or heart tests.

  • With travel, a check-up costs US and Canadian patients about the same as at home. From the UK, the trip costs more than a private check-up at home.

  • It makes most sense alongside other treatment, or if you're coming to Guangzhou anyway.

  • You'll need a visa. Visa-free entry doesn't cover medical care. Check the rules with your local Chinese visa centre.

  • Normal travel insurance usually won't cover planned treatment abroad. Check with your insurer before you book. You may need specialist cover.

This isn't medical advice

Read our terms

This page gives general information about a treatment. It isn't a recommendation for you.

We book appointments at independent hospitals. We're not a hospital, so we don't diagnose or treat anyone.

Only a doctor who has examined you can say if a treatment suits you. You and the doctor treating you decide together.

Every treatment carries risks. Results vary from person to person.

Prices, lengths of stay and recovery times on this page are estimates. Long flights soon after surgery raise the risk of blood clots. Your doctor in Guangzhou decides when it's safe to fly home.

Talk to your own doctor before you decide to travel for treatment. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
