English-Speaking Medical Companion & Report Translation in China

At most public hospitals you must first register at the 挂号 window (or via the hospital WeChat mini-program), pay a registration fee per department, then queue for the consultation room. The system varies between hospitals and rarely supports English. Our companions handle the entire registration flow on your behalf — front desk, payments, and direction-finding through the building.

Grade 3A hospitals in major cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong) have International Departments where senior doctors usually have working English. Outside those wings, English coverage drops sharply. Through SinoCareLink you can book a specialist appointment and add an English-speaking companion for the visit.

Yes — this is one of our most common use cases. We meet your parent at the hospital, handle registration, sit through the consultation, translate, and send you (the family member abroad) a written summary the same day. You stay informed without flying in.
