What to expect as an international patient

As a private tertiary hospital, this institution offers hotel-standard rooms, published self-pay pricing and shorter scheduling lead times. Private hospitals are not cheaper than public international wings in every case, so compare the quoted package rather than assuming.

As the provincial capital, Guangzhou concentrates the largest cluster of pilot hospitals and the widest range of subspecialties. Baiyun International Airport is the usual arrival point, with direct flights from Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The historic Yuexiu district holds several of the older institutions, while Tianhe and Haizhu host the newer academic campuses.
