Question 1

What do we need to sign up for treatment?

Accepted Answer

You will need to: 1) send photocopies of recent medical discharge summaries (in any language) and short videos of the child's motor abilities to 654721116@qq.com or via messenger to +86 136 8088 0512; 2) wait for the doctor's recommendations (usually 1–3 days); 3) send your passport details; 4) receive an invitation, treatment bill, and visa documents from the clinic.

Question 2

How much does treatment cost?

Accepted Answer

According to the clinic's estimate: treatment (7–8 hours a day) costs from 2,000 to 3,500 USD per month (covering procedures, medical services, medication, tests, diagnostics, and orthopedic devices); food for the patient and one accompanying adult is about 350 USD per month; accommodation and utilities are about 370 USD per month; organizational services (arrival/departure, interpreter, etc.) are 280 USD in the first month, decreasing afterward. In total, excluding travel, the estimate is 3,020 to 4,520 USD per month. The exact cost depends on the child's individual needs.

Question 3

How long does treatment last?

Accepted Answer

Treatment duration is not fixed and depends on the family's circumstances. The clinic's long-term experience shows that a comprehensive course of 2 to 3 months is typically needed for good CP rehabilitation results, but shorter stays are also accepted. No prepayment is required before arrival: after 10 days of treatment you can get an itemized cost statement and decide how long your budget will last.

Question 4

When and how do we pay for treatment?

Accepted Answer

Payment is made upon arrival at the clinic, after admission and the initial examination — no money is required in the first few days. Available payment methods: cash at the hospital cashier, a UnionPay card, or a wire transfer in US dollars to the clinic's account via SWIFT according to the details in the treatment bill.

Question 5

Does the clinic operate on holidays?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the clinic continues to operate even on holidays, although the schedule may change. During Chinese New Year, when the country has 14 days off, clinic staff get 5 days off and the clinic runs on a limited schedule with a duty shift — sessions may be less intensive (1–2 PT sessions, 1 massage per day).

Question 6

Do we need to bring lab test results with us?

Accepted Answer

Yuncheng People's Hospital has its own laboratory (complete blood count, HIV/RPR/hepatitis tests, liver and kidney function, stool and urine analysis, blood sugar, and other tests) and diagnostic equipment (MRI, EEG and video-EEG, ECG, ultrasound, X-ray). Before hospitalization, a complete blood count, HIV/RPR/hepatitis tests, and liver and kidney function tests are required — if you already have results no older than 7 days, you can provide those instead of repeating the tests.

Question 7

Is accommodation provided, and what are the living conditions?

Accepted Answer

The clinic does not own housing directly but helps find an apartment 50–300 meters from the hospital. The rehabilitation department's administrator helps with booking and check-in; the deposit is usually 1,000 yuan. Cleaning the apartment is the guests' responsibility.

Question 8

How do we get a treatment bill for a charitable foundation application?

Accepted Answer

The clinic can prepare an official treatment bill based on the information you provide: passport details, estimated treatment dates (even approximate), and medical information, which the doctors use to determine the procedures and cost.

Question 9

Will we be picked up at the airport?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you fly into Yuncheng airport, pickup and transfer to the hospital are free. The airport is just a 20-minute drive from the clinic.

Question 10

What medications should we bring to China?

Accepted Answer

It is recommended to bring familiar first-aid medications — medications for personal use are allowed across the border. If your child uses an inhaler, be sure to bring it: such medications are hard to find in China and cost more there. Other medications can be purchased in China, but the language barrier can make this slower and more difficult.

Question 11

Can we come back for another course of treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, based on the clinic's experience, many families complete rehabilitation in several courses spaced a few months apart to consolidate and build on results. The treating doctor recommends how often to return.
