Healthcare in Guangzhou
There are quality healthcare options for expats in Guangzhou, including several hospitals that are up to international healthcare standards. Expats will want to avoid public hospitals where the care can be substandard.
In the private hospitals of Gaungzhou, doctors and specialists often have overseas training. Surprisingly, several of these private hospitals that cater to expats require membership to receive care. These fees can often be paid on a limited basis and are at times accompanied by discounts.
All expats are strongly encouraged to have insurance. Healthcare can cost less than private care overseas, but it is still be extremely expensive. It is important to confirm that your health insurance provider authorises your hospital of choice. If you are using local insurance, keep in mind that some hospitals in Guangzhou only recognize certain carriers; you will need to check with the hospital to see if they will provide you with treatment, otherwise you may end up having to foot a nasty bill.
