What should an international patient prepare before traveling?

International patients should obtain a medical visa (S visa) for the child and a caregiver, and gather all prior medical records, including growth charts and diagnostic test results. It is advisable to arrange for a medical interpreter if the hospital does not provide one, and to plan for an initial stay of 1–2 weeks for baseline assessments. After returning home, remote follow-up with the Chinese hospital is typically available through telemedicine.
