Before you decide
- Package contents differ a lot. Compare the list of tests, not just the price: imaging (CT, MRI), endoscopy and sedation make the biggest difference.
- Package prices come from a Chinese booking platform listing for the hospital's checkup center. Confirm the current price and contents with the hospital before you go.
- Reports are often in Chinese. Ask whether an English report or an English-speaking doctor's review is included.
- A checkup can find things that need follow-up. Decide in advance where you will get follow-up care.
