Medical Tourism

John, a retired engineer from Vancouver, had always enjoyed good health. But when he began experiencing persistent digestive discomfort, his doctor recommended a gastroscopy and colonoscopy. The shock? A wait time of over a year.

“I couldn’t wait that long,” John recalls. “I needed clarity—fast.”

Through a friend’s recommendation, John discovered medical tourism in China. Within days, he flew to Shanghai, where the Mediversity Global team arranged airport transfers, bilingual support, and hospital bookings. The very next morning, he underwent a full gastrointestinal endoscopy.

“Everything was seamless,” John says. “The doctors were excellent, the equipment was state-of-the-art, and the procedure was practically painless. And best of all—I didn’t have to wait a year.”

The diagnosis? Just mild intestinal inflammation. He received personalised dietary advice and a herbal medicine regimen. With peace of mind restored, John even had time to enjoy Yuyuan Garden, the Bund, and experience acupuncture and tea therapy.

“This trip not only reassured me—it completely changed how I see Chinese healthcare: efficient, professional, and deeply human.”

Danislav, a 16-year-old boy from Bulgaria, had lived with cerebral palsy since birth. He had never been able to stand independently.

His family had searched for years—across countries and hospitals—hoping for a solution. Finally, through a friend’s recommendation, they were connected to Dr. Xiao Bo at Shanghai Children’s Medical Centre.

With the hospital’s full support, Danislav’s visa and travel arrangements were completed within a month.

He underwent surgery soon after arrival. Just 10 days later, something extraordinary happened—Danislav stood up for the very first time in his life.

“It wasn’t just a successful operation,” his family said. “It was a new beginning.”

At 71 years old, this American architect, Paul, had always feared surgery. That changed when he arrived in Hangzhou.

In just one visit, he underwent a minimally invasive spinal procedure and two cataract surgeries.

“In the U.S., this would have cost me at least $8,000. In China, it was just a few hundred dollars—unbelievable!”

Not only did he recover smoothly, but he now plans to continue his treatment in China for hypertension and diabetes.

“I’ve even started to enjoy being in the hospital,” he laughed. “The care, the people, the peace of mind—it’s something I never expected.”

In early July 2025, a patient living with Alzheimer’s disease flew from Australia to Chongqing, accompanied by his family—carrying both anxiety and hope.

At the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, doctors performed an innovative procedure:Deep Cervical Lymphatic-Venous Anastomosis

The results were remarkable. The patient showed clear signs of improvement, and his family, moved to tears, said, “We’re so grateful. Thank you!”

For them, this was more than just a medical treatment—it was a journey of trust across borders and a step toward renewed hope in the face of a devastating condition.
