Common questions

Is the quality comparable to home?

MedBridge partners with international departments of Grade-A tertiary hospitals and accredited private specialty chains — the same institutions that treat diplomats and expatriates in China. Surgeon volumes for high-frequency procedures (LASIK, implants, joint replacement) often exceed those of typical Western practices.

Do I need a visa for this treatment?

If your nationality is on China's visa-free list and the trip fits within 30 days, no visa is needed. Otherwise an S2 medical visa applies. Check your route with the Visa Wizard →

What's included in the price?

Hospital fees and standard consumables. Travel, accommodation and interpretation services are quoted separately — or bundled in a MedBridge care package.
