Guides by Condition

Some treatments make far more sense to have in China than others. These guides cover the most popular procedures for international patients — what they cost, where to get them, and how long you'll need to stay.

Dental

Dental Implants & Dentistry

Implants from around $550–1,650 after price reform — typically 50–80% below US/UK/Australia prices.
Oncology

Cancer Treatment

Advanced centres, 33.7% of global pipeline drugs in China, and CAR-T at a fraction of US cost.
Orthopedics

Orthopedic Surgery

Knee and hip replacement, sports medicine, and spinal surgery — the cost advantage and recovery timeline.
Checkup

Health Screening

Premium full-body checkups completed in 1–2 days at 20–40% of Western private prices.
TCM

Traditional Chinese Medicine & Rehab

Integrated TCM-western clinics for chronic disease, pain and recovery — including PUMCH's 12 joint clinics.

What makes a treatment worth travelling for?

Three tests: (1) the price gap is large and verifiable, (2) the treatment can be delivered within a practical trip window, and (3) follow-up can be managed remotely or locally. Dental work, screening, orthopedics and advanced oncology all pass these tests for many patients. Each guide below explains the trade-offs honestly.

Not medical advice. These guides explain costs, logistics and hospital options. Treatment decisions must be made with qualified doctors — in your home country and in China.
