What should an international patient prepare before traveling?

International patients should secure a medical visa (S or L visa) and bring all relevant medical records, including sleep diaries and prior treatment history. It is advisable to arrange a professional medical interpreter through the hospital or a third-party service to ensure clear communication with TCM practitioners. Patients should also plan for a stay of at least 4 weeks, prepare a list of current medications for herb-drug interaction checks, and confirm follow-up telemedicine options with the clinic before departure.
