Emergency

(1) Dial the emergency number 120, clearly describe your address and wait for the ambulance. However, the 120 emergency line currently does not provide multilingual services;

(2) Seek medical treatment at the emergency department of the nearest facility. The department operates on a 24/7 basis.

Non-emergency

(1) Public hospitals: Government-run hospitals are the mainstay of China's medical service system. Grade 3A hospitals are the most authoritative hospitals. Some hospitals also provide online appointment services. You can log on to the hospital website or download the hospital app to make an appointment. Some public hospitals have international departments that provide medical services to foreign nationals who need medical treatment;

(2) Private hospitals: Non-government-run hospitals. In China, many private hospitals offer world-class diagnostic and treatment services and provide language services.

Tips

Childbirth: Both public and private hospitals offer childbirth services. Hospitals with the necessary conditions may allow family members to accompany the mother during delivery. Doctors will decide whether a cesarean section is necessary based on the mother's physical condition. Please note that pregnant women usually need to prepare their own pajamas, towels, baby diapers and other supplies.

Health Check-up: Foreign nationals who have resided in China for one year or more are required to undergo a health check-up. You can visit the official website of the International Travel Health Care Center at various locations to obtain information on health check-ups.
