How to read these figures. China ranges are indicative hospital prices in USD (GBP conversion approximate); UK figures are indicative private self-pay prices from published UK price guides, last reviewed July 2026.

Common questions
Are these exact prices?
No — they are indicative ranges to help you compare. Final costs depend on your diagnosis, the hospital, length of stay and complications cover. After a records review, hospitals provide a written quote before you commit to anything.
What do the China figures include?
Typically the procedure, hospital stay and standard aftercare at the treating hospital. They exclude flights, accommodation, visa fees and travel insurance. We itemise all of these in a personalised quote.
How do the UK figures compare?
UK figures are indicative private self-pay prices drawn from published UK price guides (reviewed July 2026). NHS treatment is free at the point of use but may involve waiting lists; private and overseas care are options people consider when time or availability matters.
