Patient reviews
Undisclosed patient
Condition: Type 2 Diabetes. Reason for visit: Elevated fasting blood glucose; seeking a blood sugar management plan. Treatment outcome: Following a one-week inpatient adjustment, the treatment regimen was changed to a combination of insulin and oral medication. Upon discharge, fasting blood glucose had stabilized at approximately 6 mmol/L, and postprandial levels were within the normal range. Provider evaluation: The endocrinology specialists were highly professional and responsible, providing strict dietary guidance during rounds. In addition to clinical care, the department organized educational lectures on diabetes, which were very informative. I am grateful to the medical staff at the Seventh Medical Center.
Undisclosed patient
Condition: Neonatal jaundice. Reason for visit: The newborn had elevated bilirubin levels and was admitted for phototherapy. Treatment outcome: After several days of phototherapy in the neonatal department, the bilirubin levels returned to a safe range. The baby is eating and sleeping well and has been discharged. Service evaluation: The neonatology department at the Seventh Medical Center (formerly Bayi Children's Hospital) is highly regarded in the field. Although parental rooming-in is not permitted, the physicians provided daily phone updates on the baby's condition with thorough explanations, which was very reassuring for the family.

After two days of medication, the nasal passages cleared, and symptoms were significantly relieved.

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
