Why China?
Four reasons our clinical team selected China as a verified destination in our network.
Government-Backed Medical Tourism Zones
Shanghai operates 13 officially designated International Medical Tourism Pilot Units, while Hainan's Boao Lecheng Pilot Zone permits internationally approved drugs and devices ahead of nationwide clearance — a regulatory advantage unique in Asia that drew over 860,000 medical visitors in 2025.
World-Renowned Academic Medical Centres
Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH), founded in 1921, has ranked #1 nationally for 14 consecutive years, while Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center — a Full Member of the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) — anchors one of the country's leading oncology programmes.
Advanced Oncology & Cardiac Infrastructure
The Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center (SPHIC), opened in 2015, was China's first proton and heavy-ion therapy facility. Fuwai Hospital in Beijing operates one of the world's largest cardiovascular science centres, performing more than 15,000 cardiac surgeries annually.
Integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine
The vast majority of major hospitals in China combine Western clinical protocols with dedicated Traditional Chinese Medicine departments, offering patients complementary pain management, rehabilitation, and chronic disease support alongside conventional treatment.
