Specialties
The fields where international demand and domestic capability actually meet.
- Advanced Oncology & Cell Therapy
China has approved multiple CAR-T cell therapies — including the world's first for a solid tumour — at list prices several times lower than US equivalents.
- Dentistry
Implants, crowns and cosmetic work at a fraction of Western prices, in clinics that treat international patients daily.
- Health Check-ups
Standardised full-body screening packages — bloods, CT, ultrasound — completed in a single morning and sold at a fixed consumer price.
- Ophthalmology
Laser vision correction and cataract surgery at a fraction of US or UK prices — same Zeiss platforms, over half the world's SMILE procedures performed in China, and national lens procurement pushing costs down further.
- Proton & Heavy-Ion Radiotherapy
Particle therapy at a published flat rate — a ¥278,000 radiotherapy fee per course at Shanghai's SPHIC — against US list prices of $100,000–200,000, across a fast-growing national network of centres.
- Traditional Chinese Medicine
A parallel medical system that runs inside the same hospitals — pulse-and-tongue consultations, acupuncture, cupping and on-site herbal pharmacies.
