Why consider China
Access, speed, value, experience, technology.
Access
China contains some of the world's largest hospitals and clinical centres. In selected specialties, patients may have access to treatment programmes or clinical expertise difficult to access elsewhere.
Speed
For patients facing lengthy waiting lists elsewhere, selected Chinese providers may be able to offer significantly earlier appointments or treatment. Availability varies by institution and procedure.
Value
The cost of private healthcare varies dramatically between countries. For certain procedures and diagnostic services, treatment in China may represent a substantially lower self-pay cost than comparable private treatment elsewhere. Aequum obtains case-specific estimates so that patients can assess the actual economics before travelling.
Experience
Large Chinese hospitals treat enormous patient volumes. For certain conditions and procedures, this can mean highly experienced specialist clinical teams.
