Healthcare FAQs
Practical answers for international students, visitors and foreign residents preparing to use healthcare services in China.
Yes. Foreign visitors and international students can generally seek care at public hospitals in China. Some hospitals have international medical departments or dedicated services for overseas patients, while others use the same registration process for all patients. Check the hospital’s official information before visiting.
Appointment methods vary by hospital. Common options include the hospital’s official app or WeChat mini program, a municipal appointment platform, telephone booking, or registration at the hospital. You may need to provide your passport details. Confirm the correct campus and department before booking.
English-language support is available at some international hospitals and international medical departments, but it is not guaranteed at every hospital or in every specialty. Ask the hospital whether English-speaking staff or interpretation will be available for your appointment.
Insurance arrangements differ between hospitals, departments and policies. Some international medical services offer direct billing with selected insurers, while other hospitals may require payment first and reimbursement later. Confirm coverage, deposits and required documents with both the hospital and your insurer before treatment.
Call 120 for an ambulance in mainland China. If possible, provide your location, contact number and a brief description of the emergency.
