Частые вопросы
Practical questions
Should I go to a public hospital or an international clinic?+
It depends on your condition, city, language needs, budget, and urgency. Some cases need specialist hospital resources, while others may be easier through international clinics.
Is this emergency support?+
No. GoChinaMed is not an emergency service. For urgent or life-threatening symptoms, contact local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department.
Can I use international insurance?+
Possibly, but it must be confirmed with the hospital and insurer. Coverage depends on your policy, service type, hospital arrangement, and claim process.
