Testimonials and Portfolio
Medicine supported by technology and clinical experience
China is investing heavily in advanced medical technologies, including robot-assisted surgery, 3D imaging, simulation systems and remote coordination platforms. Recent examples show that Chinese hospitals are already using surgical robots for complex procedures, with significant operating volumes and medical teams trained to use these advanced tools. Some facilities have exceeded several hundred, or even several thousand, robot-assisted procedures, showing that these technologies are no longer limited to research and are progressively entering everyday clinical practice.
This regular exposure to modern equipment allows Chinese surgeons to develop strong technical precision, better mastery of complex procedures and a high ability to adapt to difficult cases. In a country with a very large population, doctors face a high patient volume and a wide diversity of medical situations. This repeated experience, combined with high-performing tools, helps reinforce their competence and efficiency.
For foreign patients, this is a reassuring advantage: they can benefit from a medical environment where technological innovation, practical experience and hospital organization work together. The objective is not only to access a procedure, but to be guided toward practitioners used to demanding protocols, able to use modern technologies and offer structured care.
This is precisely why China is becoming an interesting destination for certain international medical pathways: faster availability, advanced equipment, experienced doctors and an increasingly standardized approach to specialized care. These elements can offer foreign patients a serious, supervised and reassuring alternative, while maintaining personalized attention at each stage of the medical stay.

Advanced equipment progressively entering clinical practice
The MedBot Surgical article presents the deployment of the Toumai surgical robot in Chinese hospitals. According to the company, the platform has exceeded 2,000 clinical procedures and has been used in nearly 90 hospitals, with a strong presence in complex and high-level operations.
The article also highlights the growing use of robot-assisted surgery to improve surgical precision, support medical teams and facilitate certain operative pathways. It mentions more than 1,600 high-level surgeries and over 120 remote surgery explorations supported by 5G.
For an international patient, this type of equipment illustrates an important trend: some Chinese facilities are investing in advanced medical technologies and seeking to integrate these tools into routine hospital practice, with teams trained to use them.

China is attracting more foreign patients seeking medical care
The RFI report highlights the growing interest of foreign patients in China when they are looking for medical care that is more accessible, faster or better suited to their situation. It reflects a shift in medical tourism: some patients are no longer looking only at traditional destinations, but are also considering China as a serious option.
This attractiveness is based on several factors: major hospitals, access to varied medical specialties, modern equipment and an organization capable of receiving international patients. For some pathways, China can offer an interesting combination of availability, local support and high-level medical infrastructure.
For Medi-Jet, this kind of report confirms the importance of structured support. A medical stay abroad should not be limited to finding a facility: the file must be prepared, contacts verified, translations organized, logistics anticipated and coordination maintained before, during and after the trip.

Shanghai is structuring medical reception for international patients
An article from Shanghai’s official portal describes the increase in foreign patients coming to the city for medical care. The hospitals involved are no longer receiving only simple or short-stay cases: they are also supporting more complex pathways, sometimes related to cancer, chronic diseases or specialized treatments.
The article highlights the development of international medical services, with pilot institutions, teams more used to non-Chinese patients, improved bilingual signage, easier communication, more structured follow-up and the gradual integration of solutions such as commercial insurance.
For Medi-Jet, this evolution confirms the importance of professional support. China’s appeal is not only about access to care, but also about hospitals’ ability to organize reception, understand the medical file, coordinate locally and follow up with the foreign patient.

An international patient guided toward specialized treatment in Shanghai
Shanghai’s official portal recounts the case of Oscar Chalupsky, a former South African Olympic athlete facing a complex cancer. Before travelling, his medical file was remotely assessed by the Shanghai General Hospital team, which proposed a specialized treatment plan involving CAR-T therapy.
The article highlights the importance of structured medical coordination before departure: sharing the file, communicating with doctors, reviewing the case and preparing the pathway. This allowed the patient to travel to China with clear guidance and a treatment protocol already discussed.
The story also underlines the perceived quality of care on site. Oscar Chalupsky describes attentive and humane support, while the article presents Shanghai as an increasingly organized destination for foreign patients seeking high-level hospital expertise.
Frequently asked questions
Why consider medical travel to China instead of treatment in France?
China offers a reassuring alternative for patients looking for a faster, more flexible and more financially accessible organization. The goal is to offer another choice alongside the French system, with a structured pathway, serious medical selection, clear coordination and human support at every step.
Are procedures less expensive than in France?
In many cases, the overall cost can be more advantageous than in France, especially because of the exchange rate, local service costs and a more flexible organization. Each quote still depends on the procedure, doctor, facility, required exams, accommodation and level of support requested.
Are intervention timelines shorter?
For some planned procedures, availability can be faster and more flexible than in France, where patients may sometimes wait several weeks or several months. In China, consultations, exams, the procedure and follow-up can often be coordinated more quickly while respecting medical recommendations.
Can I arrive at the hospital in the morning and leave the same day?
Yes, when the procedure is light or outpatient-based, it may be possible to arrive at the hospital in the morning and leave in the early afternoon. This always depends on the procedure, anesthesia, your health condition and the doctor’s decision. Safety and recovery remain the priority.
What is the experience level of doctors in China? Are they experienced?
In hospitals and specialized centers, doctors receive a very high volume of patients because of China’s population size. This exposure to many cases and many procedures allows them to develop strong practical experience in their specialty, with repeated techniques and established protocols. Thanks to the variety of cases encountered, some conditions that are difficult to diagnose in France due to limited resources or expertise may have better chances of being identified and treated.
How is doctors’ training checked?
Doctors authorized to practice are highly qualified, trained and registered with the competent authorities. The practitioners offered are selected according to their medical training, specialty, hospital background and experience. We personally and exclusively select experienced profiles from major medical universities, up to doctorate level, who have completed advanced training in their respective specialties.
Is medical safety controlled in China?
Yes. Medical facilities and practitioners operate under a strict regulatory framework, with qualification, registration and control requirements. Health authorities carry out regular checks to maintain a high level of standards. This selection helps guide patients toward serious structures adapted to their needs.
How does transportation work on site?
Major Chinese cities have modern, fast, practical and affordable transportation. Metro systems, high-speed trains, taxis, ride-hailing services and private transfers make it easy to organize travel between the airport, hotel, hospital and recovery locations. Support can also include logistical help to reduce travel stress.
Is the support truly personalized?
Yes. The stay is built around your medical situation, expectations, budget, desired comfort level, available time and personal preferences. It is not a generic package, but a pathway adapted to your real needs, from file preparation through the return home.
Will I be physically accompanied during the stay?
Yes, personalized in-person support can be arranged throughout the trip. It can begin when you leave the plane and continue until boarding your return flight: welcome, transfers, medical appointments, translation, coordination with the facility and daily assistance depending on the chosen package.
Can I add a travel or discovery part to my stay?
Yes, it is possible to add a travel-only component à la carte if your health condition and medical schedule allow it. Visits, rest, cultural discovery, gastronomy or shopping can be included carefully, always taking the doctor’s recommendations and your comfort into account.
How can I feel reassured before making a decision?
The best approach is to move forward together step by step: analysis of your needs, file review, guidance toward the right contacts, clear budget estimate and stay organization. You keep a precise view of the pathway before committing, with support by your side designed to reduce uncertainty.
