Why You Need This
-
Don't speak Mandarin
Most Chinese hospitals — even Grade 3A — have limited English at the front desk, registration counters, and pharmacy windows. A two-hour visit can stretch into half a day of confusion.
-
Lost in the queue system
Chinese hospitals require pre-registration, separate windows for payment and tests, and frequent floor changes. Easy to spend a full morning lost between buildings.
-
Can't read your report
Test results, prescriptions, and discharge summaries come back in Chinese. Your doctor at home can't interpret them without a translation.
On-Site Medical Companion in China
We send a bilingual coordinator to meet you at the hospital. They handle registration and queueing, translate the doctor consultation in real time, pick up prescriptions and explain dosing, and coordinate follow-up appointments.
Pricing: Half Day (4 hours) $100 · Full Day (8 hours) $200
Cities covered: Beijing · Shanghai · Guangzhou · Shenzhen · Hong Kong
Lead time: 24 hours
Important: Our companions are bilingual coordinators, not licensed medical interpreters. For high-stakes diagnoses or procedures, request a hospital-provided certified translator.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do foreigners register at a Chinese hospital?
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.
Are there English-speaking doctors at top hospitals in China?
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. We work with international departments and can pre-arrange the right doctor for your visit.
Can I get my Chinese medical report translated to English?
Yes. Email us a PDF or clear photo of your report. We respond with a quote (typically $30–$120 depending on length and complexity), and once you approve, you receive an English translation within 24–72 hours. We handle blood panels, imaging reports, discharge summaries, prescriptions, and full health-checkup packages.
How much does a medical companion cost in China?
Half Day (4 hours) is $100 and Full Day (8 hours) is $200. Pricing is flat — no per-hour add-ons mid-service. Book directly on our companion service product page.
What cities do you cover?
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong. We have bilingual coordinators in each city. Outside these five cities, send us a request via the quote form and we'll see what we can arrange.
How fast can a companion be arranged?
Standard lead time is 24 hours from confirmed booking. Same-day requests are sometimes possible for an additional fee — message us first to check availability.
Are your companions licensed medical interpreters?
No. Our companions are bilingual coordinators, not licensed medical interpreters. They translate routine clinical conversations, navigate hospital workflows, and explain reports in plain language. For high-stakes diagnoses, surgical consents, or treatment decisions, you should request a hospital-provided certified medical translator.
Can your companion accompany me to a 三甲 (Grade 3A) hospital?
Yes. Most of our work is at Grade 3A international departments. We have working relationships with PUMC and Beijing United Family in Beijing; Huashan and Ruijin in Shanghai; Sun Yat-sen Memorial in Guangzhou; HKU-Shenzhen Hospital in Shenzhen; and Queen Mary in Hong Kong, among others.
Do you handle corporate or HR health checkups for expat staff?
Yes. We coordinate group bookings for expat employees — pre-employment exams, annual wellness checks, visa-mandated screenings — and provide bilingual report summaries to your HR team. Use the quote form to start the conversation.
Can I book just for my elderly parent traveling to China alone?
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.
