A
Older people who need a full check-up in one go
The mainland has the full range of tests and short waiting times. Everything can be done in one trip instead of three trips across six months.
MEDICAL JOURNEY
One trip. The checks, the treatment, the follow-up.
Every test, every consultation, every review — arranged around a single journey.
Onxure arranges more than dental work. Health checks and early screening, ophthalmology, orthopaedics and joints, cardiovascular assessment, cancer screening and second opinions, endoscopy, Chinese medicine and rehabilitation — if it needs a shared language, a different city, and somebody accountable for the outcome, we can take it on. We don't diagnose and we don't advise on treatment. We make sure you understand it, get through it, and that somebody reports back.

Who this is for
B
People waiting too long at home
Scans, endoscopy and specialist clinics booked months out. You can't wait — and you don't want to pay several times over.
C
Second opinions before surgery
You already have a diagnosis and a plan. You want one more set of eyes before the knife, with the risks and alternatives spelled out.
D
People who need a course of treatment, not one visit
Rehabilitation, Chinese medicine, post-operative review — anything needing repeat trips needs somebody alongside for the long haul.

The hard part isn't the medicine. It's this.
- 01Not knowing which hospital, which department — so you search online and hope.
- 02Registration, payment, queue numbers, collecting results: each a different window and a different app.
- 03You can't hold on to what the doctor said, so you can't explain it to the family afterwards.
- 04The reports are in Chinese. Your family doctor at home can't read them.
- 05One test per visit, so the same errand takes three trips.
- 06When something does go wrong, nobody tells you who to see or how to raise it.

Seven things we won't take on
Saying what we won't do is more useful than making what we will do sound good. These we won't take at any price.
| No. | What we won't take on | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Organ transplantation, and organ-transplant tourism in any form | A legal and ethical red line. No intermediaries. |
| 02 | Assisted reproduction, IVF, egg freezing, surrogacy | Licensing and regulatory limits; must be handled directly by the hospital |
| 03 | Recruiting or accompanying clinical-trial participants | Involves informed consent and ethics review; not for a third party |
| 04 | Critical emergencies and inter-city transfers | Call local emergency services first. We cannot provide pre-hospital care |
| 05 | Acute infectious disease | Must be handled at designated facilities under local rules |
| 06 | Acute psychiatric episodes and compulsory treatment | Beyond accompaniment; needs clinical care and family present |
| 07 | Anything that needs us to make a medical judgement first | A companion is a bridge, not a doctor |

What a medical trip usually looks like
-
2–3 weeks before
Remote assessment
We compile your existing records and imaging, clarify what you want solved, compare two or three institutions, and issue a written plan and quote.
-
DAY 0
Arrival and check-in
Pick-up at the border or airport, check-in, and confirmation of tomorrow's route and times.
-
DAY 1
First consultation
We sit in throughout, interpret line by line, and record the doctor's view and the next steps.
-
DAY 2–3
Tests and results
We accompany the tests, collect the reports, and arrange a multidisciplinary clinic for a second read where useful.
-
DAY 4–5
Treatment or surgery
Where needed. The pre-operative briefing interpreted point by point; post-operative instructions confirmed point by point.
-
DAY 6–7
Observation and review
Follow-up appointment, medication reminders, a written report to the family each day.
-
Departure day
Airport and handover
Transfer to the airport, and handover of the complete record: notes, imaging and instructions, Chinese and English side by side.
-
After you go home
Follow-up
Appointment reminders and recovery tracking as agreed, with remote consultations arranged where needed.
Durations are typical ranges. Actual timing depends on hospital scheduling and your condition. We do not promise a specific slot for any test or operation.
06 / 08
What the trip is actually worth
01
One journey, not three
Tests, clinics and treatment packed into a single trip wherever possible. One leave of absence, one flight — not three.
02
Reports you can take with you
Notes, imaging and instructions compiled into a bilingual file you can hand straight to your own doctor.
03
Someone accountable for the result
A written report reaches the family every day, and somebody follows up when things drift. We don't drop you at the door.
We don't claim to be "faster" or "cheaper" — comparisons we can't verify. One thing we can verify: every fee is itemised, and you can hold it up against anyone else's.
07 / 08
Where the money goes
Medical fees
You pay the hospital
We don't collect, don't mark up, don't take rebates.
Lodging
You pay the hotel
Whatever we negotiate below the rack rate, you keep.
Service fee
Priced by the day, itemised. Never a percentage.
It's our only revenue. Every line can be checked on the pricing page.

Questions
I'm not sure which department I need. What then?
Tell us the symptoms and any tests you already have. We turn them into a document a doctor can read, and suggest which department and which type of clinic. Diagnosis is the doctor's job; we don't make it.
Can a health check and a consultation happen on the same trip?
Usually yes. The check comes first, results follow, then the specialist — packed into three to seven days. It depends on the items you choose and the hospital's schedule.
Should I bring my existing records and scans?
Yes. Bring reports from the last two years, the original films or discs, and a list of current medication. Mainland hospitals generally accept recent imaging, which saves repeat tests.
Will my doctor at home understand the reports?
We deliver a bilingual summary of the notes and a record of the doctor's instructions, with imaging as the original files. Whether your local hospital accepts them is their decision, and not something we can guarantee.
If the tests find something that needs surgery, can I decide on the spot?
You can — but the decision belongs to you and your family. We interpret the doctor's plan, risks and alternatives point by point, and can set up a call with the family if useful. We won't rush you and we won't decide for you.
Can I come for tests only, with no treatment?
Yes. Tests are billed by the day of accompaniment. Treatment isn't required, and we don't take a case only because there's a procedure in it.
What about the visa?
We don't handle visas. We provide an invitation-letter template, a document checklist and referrals; the exact category and documents depend on the latest requirements of the Chinese embassy or consulate where you live.
First, be clear about what needs looking at. Then decide whether to come.
Send us the tests you already have and the questions you want answered. Within 48 hours you get a written assessment: which department, roughly how many days, roughly how much.
