Where we coordinate care
We work through hospitals' official international patient channels. These are the institutions most requested by our guests — each card links to the hospital's own website so you can verify every detail yourself.

View details →Why international patients choose Chengdu
Chengdu is the medical capital of western China. The city anchors the West China Hospital cluster — West China Hospital of Sichuan University is consistently ranked among the top two hospitals in China and is one of the largest single-site hospitals in the world, with internationally accredited departments, English-capable international patient services, and subspecialty centres that handle the most complex referrals from across Asia.
Top-tier teaching hospitals
West China Hospital and its sister institutions combine JCI-standard workflows with enormous clinical volume — the kind of case experience that keeps surgical and diagnostic skills sharp. International departments handle scheduling, records and billing for foreign patients every day.
Costs that change the math
Dental work, health screenings and cosmetic procedures in Chengdu typically cost a fraction of US, Japanese or Korean prices — often 40–70% less for comparable materials and technology. That gap can cover flights, hotels and a holiday, with money left over.
Speed of access
Private international pathways can move from enquiry to CT scans or specialist consultations within days — not the weeks-to-months queues common at home. Elective treatment starts on your schedule, not the waitlist's.
A city worth recovering in
Tea houses, panda base mornings, quiet parks and some of China's best food (soft options included). Recovery days here feel like a holiday, not a hospital stay — and post-treatment follow-ups fit around your itinerary.
Typical self-pay price ranges, side by side
Indicative self-pay ranges in USD for common treatments, compiled from published international price surveys. Actual quotes are always confirmed by the hospital or clinic for your specific case — we never quote on their behalf.
Ranges are indicative only, vary by clinic, materials and case complexity, and are not a quote. Your final price comes from the treating hospital after review of your records.
From first message to flying home
Most guests complete the whole cycle in 7–14 days in Chengdu; dental and screening trips can be shorter, complex treatment longer. Here is the typical flow:
- 1Enquiry & records review (Day 0–2)You share reports, scans or prescriptions. We assess fit through the proper hospital channels and confirm which department and doctors are relevant — honestly, including when travel is not the right choice.
- 2Itinerary & booking (Day 2–7)Consultation slots are reserved with the hospital's international pathway while we build the trip around them: flights, visa documents (invitation letters where required), hotel near the hospital, and an English-speaking guide-interpreter.
- 3Consultation & treatment (in Chengdu)Your guide-interpreter accompanies every appointment: registration, imaging, specialist consultation, treatment consent, pharmacy. You always know what was said, what it costs, and what happens next.
- 4Recovery & light travelGentle days in tea houses and parks, or at the hotel — paced around your doctor's advice. Follow-up visits are scheduled before any leisure activity.
- 5Documents & departureMedical reports, imaging and prescriptions translated and organised for your home dentist or physician, plus clear aftercare instructions and remote follow-up support.

- ✓CommunicationYour coordinator is reachable on WhatsApp/WeChat throughout; a language-matched guide attends every medical appointment as interpreter.
- ✓Payment & insuranceHospitals bill you directly (card or cash); we never take money for medical services. We advise on typical deposits and can help with claim documentation for your insurer.
Please note: MyGuideTrip is a travel coordination service. We are not a medical provider, and medical decisions remain between you and your treating doctors.
Medical travel questions, answered
How far in advance should I plan?
For dental and screening trips, 3–6 weeks is comfortable; we have arranged faster turnarounds when schedules allow. Complex specialist consultations benefit from 2 months of records preparation.
Will I meet an English-speaking coordinator?
Yes — from your first enquiry to the airport on departure day, one coordinator owns your case, and your guide-interpreter attends every hospital visit.
Is it safe?
We only work through hospitals' official international patient channels with licensed doctors, and we tell you honestly when a procedure or price looks better handled at home. Travel itself is arranged with licensed transport and accommodation partners.
Can I combine treatment with sightseeing?
That is the whole point. Pandas, Leshan Buddha, teahouses and food streets are scheduled around your medical calendar, paced to your doctor's advice. See our private itineraries.
How much does a coordinated trip cost?
Medical fees are billed by the hospital at published rates; our coordination, guiding and travel planning is quoted separately and transparently before you confirm anything. See how pricing works →
