Patient reviews
Undisclosed patient
Condition: Liver failure. Reason for visit: Emergency treatment for acute liver failure caused by drug-induced liver injury. I spent over ten days in the ICU, where the artificial liver team provided life-saving care. During every plasma exchange procedure, the physicians remained at the bedside, monitoring and managing all parameters with high precision. The ICU nursing staff was dedicated and tireless, providing patient families with daily updates on the patient's condition. Ultimately, they saved my life; my coagulation markers and bilirubin levels have stabilized, and I am now out of danger. Youan Hospital's expertise in treating critical liver diseases is truly well-deserved.
Undisclosed patient
Condition: Hepatic hemangioma. Purpose of visit: Evaluation for surgery due to tumor enlargement compressing the stomach. I consulted the General Surgery department. After reviewing the imaging, the physician provided an accurate assessment and demonstrated exceptional technical skill, recommending a minimally invasive laparoscopic resection. The compassionate care from the medical staff helped alleviate my anxiety regarding the procedure. The surgery was successful with minimal blood loss. Recovery was rapid; the drainage tube was removed and I was able to walk by the third postoperative day. Following the resection, the abdominal pain and pressure completely resolved. The treatment was highly effective, and I have full confidence in the surgical team at Youan Hospital.
Undisclosed patient
Condition: Hepatitis E. Purpose of visit: Inpatient treatment for acute onset. I presented with severe jaundice and extreme fatigue and was admitted directly through the emergency department. The attending physician and the department head conducted thorough daily rounds with a rigorous clinical approach, adjusting intravenous medications for liver protection and jaundice reduction based on daily laboratory results. The nursing staff provided excellent care and demonstrated high proficiency in venipuncture. After two weeks of intensive treatment, my jaundice levels returned to normal, and I was successfully discharged. The treatment outcome was excellent. I am grateful to the entire medical staff at You'an Hospital.
Undisclosed patient
Condition: HIV infection. Purpose of visit: Follow-up and adjustment of antiretroviral therapy. The Department of Infectious Diseases at Youan Hospital is a leading center in China. Dr. Zhao is highly professional and empathetic. During the consultation, I felt no discrimination; the doctor was gentle and kind, patiently addressing my concerns about the side effects of switching medications. Currently, my viral load remains undetectable, and my CD4 count has been steadily increasing. My physical health is comparable to that of the general population. The doctor's expertise and care have provided me with great strength.

Our honest position
We are not a hospital or a clinic
MedicalToChina is an independent medical travel information and patient coordination service. We do not employ physicians and we do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Zero marked-up medical fees
We do not add a margin to your hospital bill. You pay the hospital's own official international department rate, the same price a local patient would see. Our fee is a transparent service package, billed separately and shown to you in writing before you pay.
Independent editorial, no paid placements
Hospital listings are based on public accreditation data and our own research, not on referral commissions. We disclose how we make money on our About page.
Medical disclaimer
Nothing on this page is medical advice. Always consult a licensed physician before making decisions about diagnosis, treatment, or travel for care.
No outcome guarantees
We never promise specific medical results. Outcomes depend on your condition and your doctors, not on us. Any service that guarantees a result is not being honest with you.
Your data, your control
