Your Trusted Medical Companion in Shanghai
Hi, I'm Xiaowei Zhang. I offer personalised medical companion services in Shanghai, supporting expats and medical tourists with medical planning, consultation assistance (especially in the public hospital setting), and travel logistics tailored to their needs.
Why Shanghai?
Shanghai delivers high-quality medical care efficiently and at significantly lower costs.
A Global City with World-Class Healthcare
Shanghai blends state-of-the-art medical infrastructure with internationally accredited hospitals, delivering care on par with top global cities—minus the sky-high costs. From advanced diagnostics to complex surgeries, the city offers high-quality healthcare at a fraction of Western prices, making it a compelling destination for expats and medical tourists seeking world-class care with exceptional value.


Affordable Excellence in Treatment
A PET scan in the U.S. can cost up to $6,000, whereas in Shanghai, the average price is just $1,300.
Chinese doctors, particularly in surgical specialties, are renowned for their deep expertise—shaped by the high volume of cases they manage daily.
Meanwhile, the proliferation of internet technologies has made virtual consultations widely accessible, reducing costs while improving access to quality care for patients worldwide.
Seamless Experience for International Patients
Thanks to Shanghai’s tech-driven infrastructure and high accessibility to information, getting things done is remarkably smooth—even for foreigners. From cashless payments, accessibility support for mobility and multilingual digital services, convenience is built into everyday life.
