What should an international patient prepare before traveling?

Patients should obtain a valid passport and medical visa for China, along with all prior imaging and medical records (translated into Chinese if possible). Arranging a professional medical interpreter is highly recommended to ensure clear communication with the care team. It is also wise to plan for a 2- to 3-week stay, including initial evaluation and recovery, and to coordinate with the hospital for follow-up care or remote consultation after returning home.
