Medical Service

In China, urban and rural medical services are different from each other. If you are traveling in the countryside, there might not be appropriate medical services beyond primary health care. Some hospitals in cities have special sections for foreigners where English is available.

Doctors may be found in many of the large hotels in China. Payment must be made on the spot for treatment, medicine and transport. If you plan to visit areas outside of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong, you are advised to buy emergency evacuation insurance.
