Executive Health Screening
in China — Thorough, Fast,
Exceptionally Priced

For imaging specifically, yes. China's top-tier hospitals use the same MRI scanners (Siemens MAGNETOM, GE SIGNA), CT scanners (Siemens SOMATOM), and ultrasound systems as leading hospitals in Singapore or Germany. The cost difference is structural, driven by China's labour market, hospital pricing policy, and administrative overhead, not by inferior technology.

Radiologists at partner hospitals are trained to national board standards and many have completed fellowship training at international institutions. Every hospital in our network has been personally evaluated by our team. If it did not meet our standard, it is not on our list.

All partner hospitals have international patient departments with English-speaking staff for intake and administration. However, not all physicians speak fluent English, and you should have full comprehension of your results, not a partial summary.

China Care provides a bilingual coordinator who accompanies you at key consultations and ensures accurate interpretation throughout your stay. Hospital reports are issued in Chinese — this is standard across all Chinese hospitals, including their international departments. Professional translation for your GP or insurer can be arranged on request.

It depends on your passport. Under China's current visa-free policies: Germany, visa-free up to 30 days. Canada, visa-free up to 30 days for business, tourism, family visits, exchange visits, or transit. Brazil, visa-free up to 30 days. Singapore, visa-free up to 30 days. Policies change; we confirm current status for your nationality when you enquire.

For a 2–3 day health screening trip, most European and SE Asian nationalities do not require a visa. If you do, the official invitation letter can only be issued by the licensed hospital — China Care coordinates with the hospital to secure it and guides you through the rest of the application. See our complete medical visa guide for step-by-step instructions.

If an urgent finding is identified, the hospital physician advises you immediately in the Day 3 consultation. For findings requiring further investigation, we help you assess whether follow-up in China makes sense (faster and more cost-effective) or whether returning home is more appropriate.

For non-urgent findings, the more common scenario, you receive a clear explanation, recommended monitoring interval, and a summary letter for your home physician. China Care is available for 30 days post-screening for questions and specialist referrals.

Yes. DICOM files for all imaging (MRI, CT, PET-CT) are included as standard. You receive them on a USB drive before departure, or via secure cloud transfer link. Your home radiologist or specialist can open these in any standard DICOM viewer for independent review and future comparison.

Guangzhou is best for SE Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand). Direct flights of 3–4 hours. Our most established hospital relationships. Mild climate year-round. Recommended for most international clients.

Shanghai suits clients from East Asia, Australia, and US East Coast. Strong VIP health check programmes at Zhongshan and Ruijin. Good English infrastructure in the city.

Beijing is best for clients who want the most prestigious institutional name (PUMCH, 301 Hospital), or who are already attending a Beijing hospital for another condition. Factor in colder winters.

Yes. We regularly coordinate programmes for couples or small family groups. The hospital schedules appointments to minimise overlap, and we recommend accommodation options for the group at the same location.

Each programme is individualised. For example, a male client may add a prostate-focused panel while a female client adds a gynaecological assessment, within the same overall programme and stay.

Yes. China Care works specifically with international patients and coordinates hospital booking, preparation, translation options and follow-up support.

Most preventive screening programmes are self-pay. Some insurers may reimburse selected tests depending on your policy. You pay the published package rate — either through China Care or directly to the screening centre, depending on which centre you book. We recommend confirming reimbursement eligibility with your insurer before booking.

After your preferred date is confirmed, full payment is required before the appointment can be secured. Depending on the selected screening centre, payment may be made either through China Care Health Tours or directly to the screening centre — we tell you which applies before you pay.

Once the booking is confirmed, the screening centre will send the appointment confirmation directly to your registered mobile phone number via SMS. This is your official confirmation that the appointment is secured.

Yes, in major international currencies — you don't need a Chinese bank card or mobile payment app. Depending on the screening centre, you may pay China Care directly or pay the screening centre directly; China Care confirms which method applies and the available options before you book.

Rescheduling is usually possible with advance notice, subject to the screening centre's availability and the policies for any reserved scans, endoscopy slots or specialist consultations.

Cancellation and refund terms depend on the screening centre and how close to the appointment date you cancel — some tests and slots are non-refundable once booked with the centre. China Care confirms the exact cancellation and refund policy for your chosen centre before you pay, so there are no surprises.

Most programmes require fasting from midnight before the first screening morning. Colonoscopy packages require bowel preparation starting the day before. We send a preparation guide after booking.

Yes. Previous scans, blood tests, medication lists and specialist letters help the hospital personalise your review and compare changes over time.

Many imaging and blood results are available within 24 to 48 hours. Genomic and advanced molecular tests may take 5 to 10 business days.

Yes. DICOM imaging files can be shared with your doctor, radiologist or specialist at home for independent review and future comparison.

Essential package: 1–2 weeks' notice is usually sufficient. Premium and Executive Plus, particularly those including PET-CT, colonoscopy, and genomic sequencing, we recommend 3–4 weeks' lead time to coordinate scheduling across multiple departments.

If you have an urgent requirement, contact us and we will do our best to expedite. Some partner hospitals can accommodate short-notice bookings for international clients.
