Worried about traveling overseas for treatment? Don't be. To date, we have treated thousands of patients that come from outside China, and hundreds from western Europe. We have full-time patient services department whose sole jobs are to translate, handle visas, book and alter flight tickets, arrange airport pickups, book hotel accommodations, and arrange finances. This page summarizes the step-by-step procedure to come to Fuda Hospital for cancer treatment.

Step 1:
    Learn more about our hospital, our services, and our reputation by reviewing our website, FAQ, and by downloading our informative brochure.
Step 2:
    Contact us at fudahospital@hotmail.com. Please share with us the patient's diagnosis and stage of cancer, medical reports, treatment history and dates, and description of the patient's condition (level of pain, ability to breath, ability to walk, ability to eat). With this information we can review and promtly provide you with a reply, usually within 24 hours.
Step 3:
    After receiving our treatment recommendation, consider and discuss with your family the length of treatment (approximately 30 days), and the cost of treatment. These are decisions that often affect the patient's entire family.
Step 4:
    If you have made the decision to seek treatment at Fuda Hospital, congratulations! Your decision is supported by our experience and the award-winning research of our oncologists. The next step is to provide us with the full names and passport numbers of each person who plans to come to Fuda. Please be sure to note which name is the patient's name. With this information, we will provide you with a visa invitation letter which you can take to the local Chinese embassy or local travel agency. You should get your visa in about 3-4 business days.

Step 5:

Once you have your visas, you can purchase your plane tickets to Guangzhou International Airport (airport code: CAN). When you have your confirmed flight information, please email us your flight number, arrival date and time, and total number of people arriving. Please bring your previous medical records with you. Upon arrival, Fuda Hospital will send a driver and a staff member to pick you up at the airport and bring you straight to the hospital, and to your private patient room.

       Some of the most widely known medical destinations are the medical centers located in Thailand and India. These countries have several high-quality hospitals with good reputations. However, there are inherent risks patients should consider before choosing these locations for your medical care. The governments of both respective countries are highly unstable and susceptible to political up-rise and social unrest. Recently, Thailand’s government has been replaced several times a year. India’s proximity to Pakistan and recent terrorist attacks, are also something to be seriously considered. On the other hand, China’s government has proven to be very stable.

       Unfortunately, medical costs are something that needs to be discussed carefully with the patient and his/her family. Medical costs are specific to a patient’s condition and needs. By contacting us and providing detailed medical information, we can recommend the best course of action, as well as the cost of treatment.

       While some cancer centers require an upfront lump sum payment, we at Fuda realize that paying for treatment is not always quite so easy or quite so fast. At Fuda, we have a pay-as-you-go system. Upon registration, you will be asked to put an adequate amount of cash into a hospital account. Each day’s expenses (tests, medicine, etc.) are deducted on a daily basis from your hospital account. You will receive a daily invoice as well, so that you will know which expenses are being incurred. When your account balance runs low, our staff will give you notice that it is time to add more funds to the account. You can add funds to your account via cash, bank transfer, or credit card.

       Most patients are able to complete their treatment in approximately one month. Occasionally, depending on the needs and condition of the patient, treatment requires 5-6 weeks.

   Absolutely. Cancer screening is an important ritual for anyone from high-risk populations. You are considered “high-risk” if you or your family has a proven history of cancer. Cancer screening may not prevent cancer, but the importance of early detection cannot be overstated. Detecting cancer early not only gives you more treatment options, but also greatly increases your chances of a cure, or at least a positive outcome.

   When you arrive at the airport, we will have a staff member who is waiting and who will have a bright pink sign with the patient's name on it. The staff member may speak only limited English, but don't worry, their only job is to guide you to the waiting car that will take you to the hospital (approximately 50 minutes). At the hospital, you will be taken directly to your room, given some instructions from a nurse, and you will meet your doctor first thing in the morning.
