Who you will actually see
Named hospitals, named specialists
You are travelling for medical care, so the hospital matters more than our brochure. Here are the institutions we coordinate with, what they specialise in, and why patients travel to China in the first place. The decision stays yours.
Partner hospitals
Tianjin first, then more cities
Two hospitals in Tianjin are signed and are where we start. More cities are being added — listed plainly below, so you can see what exists today.

More cities — being added
Private hospitals
- Beijing — United Family Healthcare (UFH)
- Shanghai — Jiahui International Hospital
- Guangzhou · Shenzhen — United Family Healthcare (UFH)
Being contracted now. The names are public information; a written agreement is what turns a name into a booking option.
Public hospitals
- Boao Lecheng — Rui Jin (Hainan), Huaxi (Lecheng), Boao Super Hospital (state-backed)
- Tianjin — First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of TCM (TCM rehabilitation)
Referral — for complex cases needing sub-specialist capacity, we refer to public tertiary hospital international departments in Beijing and Shanghai. Payment is usually settle-then-claim rather than direct billing.
How we choose
Selection criteria
- Valid licence and international patient capability
- English clinical documentation and multilingual staff
- Case volume in the relevant specialty
- Medical liability cover
Backup rule
At least two institutions per product line, so a single failure does not strand a patient.
We match you to the hospital and physician that actually fit your case.
Why China
Why patients travel to China
Six reasons, each with a concrete number. Judge them for yourself.
Surgical precision from case volume
China's top hospitals perform 3–5× the annual surgical volume of global peers. In oncology, cardiovascular, orthopaedics and ophthalmology, physicians have seen more complex cases.
Speed: diagnosis to surgery faster
From first consultation to complex surgery often takes 1–2 weeks in China, versus 3–6 months in some countries. For cancer and cardiac patients, time itself is a prognostic factor.
Integrated Chinese & Western medicine
Post-operative recovery, chronic-disease management, cancer support and pain care — TCM offers recovery paths Western systems cannot easily replicate.
Controllable cost
For comparable complex surgery, China costs roughly 1/5–1/8 of the US and 1/3–1/4 of Singapore. Published pricing lets you know the full cost up front.
Access to innovative therapies
PD-1, CAR-T, proton therapy and robotic surgery are in routine use at top hospitals — options that may be unavailable or expensive in the patient's home country.
Digital healthcare infrastructure
Internet hospitals, AI imaging, remote consultation and interoperable records make post-departure follow-up, re-checks and prescription renewal efficient and remote.
Comparison
China against other destinations
So you can see when China is the rational choice — and when it is not.
| Dimension | China (TGCP) | USA | Singapore | Thailand | India |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Complex cancer surgery | Very high case volume | Top research | High-end, limited volume | Not a strength | Cost-effective |
| Cardiovascular surgery | Very high efficiency | Top technology | Reliable but costly | Average | Mature and cheap |
| Overall cost | Highly competitive | Very expensive | Expensive | Moderately low | Lowest |
| Wait time | 1–2 weeks | 1–3 months | 2–4 weeks | Within 1 week | Within 1 week |
| TCM / recovery | Globally unique | Complementary only | Limited | Wellness strength | Traditional medicine |
| Language / culture | TGCP fully coordinated | Fluent English | Fluent English | Good English | Limited English |
| Innovative drug access | Accelerating approval | Broadest globally | Faster | Average | Generic strength |
Based on published medical data and TGCP operating experience. Medical decisions should always be individualised; TGCP's remote pre-consultation helps you make an informed match.
Boundaries
Who is responsible for what
Three parties, three agreements, written before a single booking. Ambiguity here is how patients get hurt.
| Party | Role | Written boundary |
|---|---|---|
| You, and your family | Service recipient | Signs the service agreement with us and a travel contract with the agency; pays the hospital directly |
| TIECEC / TGCP | Health coordinator | Medical coordination, companions, itinerary design and follow-up. We do not form tour groups, charge tour fees or carry travel-agency liability |
| Licensed travel agency | Tour operator of record | Contract responsibility for transport, accommodation and touring, with tour-operator insurance |
| Treating hospital | Clinical provider | Diagnosis and treatment. Clinical liability rests with the hospital, accident cover with the insurer |
