Hi everyone, I’m looking into specialized medical tourism for my cousin who diagnosed stage III Liver Cancer. Local wait times are killing us, so I started looking at those elite "International Wings" in China Beijing.
I’m looking at a total care package that basically acts as a medical guardian. The main reason I’m even considering them is that their team seems to have an international background (the founder lived in Canada and studied pharmacy in Australia), so they actually get how our system works compared to the Chinese one.
Their service includes picking up, setting up everything, local SIM, dedicated VPN, and Alipay, introducing culture in China, hanging us around our hotel. They provide a medical translator, 24/7 on-ground support for urgency dealing, and are able to translate the final medical records into our local diagnostic codes (ICD-10) for our follow-up doctors here.
If a service like this handled the entire "China factor,"would you trust it?It’s a $5,000+ service fee (around £3,700), so I want to make sure these are the right things to look for.
Actually I and my Mom are little worried about seeking medical treatment in China. Do you know if a lot of people also go there for surgery?
Thanks.
