Common questions before travelling to China for orthopaedic care

Can I request a specific hospital or doctor?

Yes. Tell us which hospital or doctor you prefer and when you hope to visit. We help contact the hospital to ask about requirements, scheduling and records. If you have not chosen one yet, start by describing your concern.

Does making an inquiry commit me to traveling or buying a service?

You can first ask about your options and what to prepare. The initial inquiry is free. Decide whether to continue after receiving details of the services and fees. SinoCareHub helps organize records, contact hospitals and coordinate travel. The receiving hospital and licensed physicians make diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Can you arrange emergency care?

We help coordinate planned care and do not provide emergency care. Seek local care first for serious injury or sudden worsening. If you need urgent care, call local emergency services or go to an emergency department. Do not wait for a cross-border consultation or travel arrangements.
