Get Visa AssistanceRisks & Considerations
We believe in full transparency — including the important factors you should consider before making your decision.
Surgical & Medical Risks
Every surgery carries risks. Our partner hospitals have the highest safety standards, but you should be aware of:
- Infection risks during and after surgery
- Anesthesia complications
- Unexpected surgical complications
- Variability in individual recovery
Travel & Logistical Risks
Long-distance medical travel introduces additional considerations:
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) from long-haul flights
- Jet lag and its impact on recovery
- Language and cultural barriers
- Travel delays or disruptions
We recommend consulting your doctor about DVT prevention and travel health before departure.
Follow-up & Continuity of Care
Post-treatment care is as important as the procedure itself:
- Who provides follow-up care when you return home?
- Will your home-country doctor accept remote records?
- What if complications arise after you leave China?
- Insurance may not cover complications abroad

Stuart Lye's Journey
A New Zealand patient who traveled to Shanghai for CAR-T therapy — and found world-class care at a fraction of the cost.
Stuart Lye
🇳🇿 New Zealand · CAR-T Therapy (Leukemia)After a 2019 leukemia diagnosis and two rounds of CAR-T therapy in New Zealand, Stuart traveled to Shanghai Ruijin Hospital in early 2023 for a third round of treatment. The cost was approximately $65,000 (NZD 107,000) — significantly less than alternatives in Australia or the US. He documented his journey on social media, noting the hospital's "tremendous care" and his "very good life" post-treatment.
