What to expect as an international patient

This is a single-specialty institution rather than a general hospital. That concentration is the point: surgical and diagnostic volume in one field tends to be higher than in a general hospital of the same size, waiting times are usually shorter, and the sub-specialist you need is more likely to be on site rather than visiting.

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.
