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?
A stay this long usually requires an S2 medical visa — the hospital issues the invitation letter you need. 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.
