Healthcare in Guangzhou

The standard of healthcare in Guangzhou is excellent, and several hospitals in the city are up to international standards. These are generally in the private sector, so most expats can usually afford these and tend to avoid the lower standard of care public hospitals provide.

Doctors at private hospitals in Guangzhou often have overseas training. Most hospitals catering to expats require a registration fee for a patient to receive care.

It's best to take out insurance with a local or international provider as an expat moving to Guangzhou. While healthcare in China might be more affordable than private healthcare overseas, it is still fairly pricey.

If you need to go to the hospital, you'll have to confirm that your insurance provider authorises the hospital of your choice. Those using local insurance should note that some hospitals in Guangzhou only recognise certain insurance companies, making it essential to check if the hospital you're visiting recognises your insurance before commencing treatment.

Below is a list of recommended hospitals in Guangzhou.
