INTERNATIONAL PATIENTS
Before you travel to Changsha.
Make an initial enquiry
Introduce yourself, your country of residence and the type of consultation you are seeking. Ask how to arrange an appointment and share medical records securely.
Prepare your information
Keep a concise medical summary, relevant imaging and reports, and any previous operation records ready. Confirm which documents are required before sending them.
Confirm the arrangements
Confirm appointment availability, costs, language support and any travel requirements with the hospital before booking your journey.
PLANNING YOUR VISIT
A few practical questions.
Can I request an opinion before travelling?
Please enquire about the available consultation arrangements and whether a review of existing records can be offered. An email enquiry alone does not establish a diagnosis or a treatment plan.
Is English-language support available?
Please state your preferred language when you contact Professor Mao. Confirm clinical interpretation and document translation arrangements before your visit.
How do I find out about fees and insurance?
Ask the hospital to confirm consultation and treatment charges, payment arrangements and any insurance documentation you may require. Fees and insurance acceptance are not confirmed through this website.
