For cross-border medical treatment, being "well prepared" directly determines the length of your stay abroad and your peace of mind. This checklist is organized chronologically; we recommend starting about a month ahead.
I. Documents and Visa
Make sure your passport is valid long enough, apply for a medical-related visa per the destination country's requirements, and keep both electronic and paper copies of the invitation letter, appointment confirmation, and other documents.
II. Tests to Complete in China
Hormone tests, ultrasound, and infectious-disease screening can be done in China—saving money and shortening the overseas cycle. Prepare your reports as translated documents in English or the local language.
III. Medical Records and Medication Translation
Past medical records, allergy history, and a list of medications you are currently taking must be translated accurately to avoid communication errors.
IV. Luggage and Essentials
Pack clothing according to the destination's climate, bring commonly used over-the-counter medicines (subject to customs regulations), and keep a paper copy of your itinerary.
V. Arrival Coordination
Confirm transport from accommodation to the clinic, airport pickup arrangements, and an emergency contact in advance. Address and pickup information can be found on the contact page.
