What should an international patient prepare before traveling?

Patients must secure a valid medical visa (S visa) with an invitation letter from the hospital. It is essential to arrange a professional medical interpreter, as English proficiency varies among staff. Bring all prior medical records, including pathology slides and imaging scans, translated into Chinese. Plan for a support companion and budget for accommodation near the hospital. Post-discharge follow-up care should be coordinated with a local hematologist in your home country.
