Health checkups in China

A full-body health check in China — in a morning, from $129.

Imaging, full bloodwork, cancer markers, and a physician review — bundled into a one or two-day program, with a bilingual companion and English results you can take home. The easiest way to come, see how we work, and know your numbers.

What the price is, and what it is not. $129 is the full price of our entry tier — 28 tests including a chest CT — not a deposit or a starting estimate, and it covers the phlebotomy fee and your report translated into English. Four tiers run from $129 to $699, and a tier costs the same in all five cities we arrange. What is not included: gastroscopy and colonoscopy, which no checkup package here contains and which we quote separately, and anything a doctor recommends after seeing your results. Prices are set in US dollars and settled in yuan.

A doctor reviewing a health checkup with a patient in China

What a comprehensive checkup typically includes

  • Full blood panel — CBC, metabolic, liver/kidney, thyroid, lipids, glucose
  • Cancer / tumour markers
  • Imaging — ultrasound, chest X-ray, and MRI or CT where appropriate
  • Cardiovascular screening — ECG, blood pressure
  • Endoscopy / colonoscopy under sedation (optional)
  • A physician consult to walk you through every result — in English

Why people do it here

The same comprehensive workup that costs $2,000–$3,200 at home is bundled in China for roughly $200–$420, done in one or two mornings rather than spread across months of referrals. You leave with English reports — useful for your own doctor and for insurance.

Four tiers, compared test by test

Every test in every tier, listed. Arranged in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Chengdu, with your report translated into English — and the tier is the same product in every city, so the price does not change when your destination does. Rows shaded green are the ones that actually decide which tier you want; a dash means that tier genuinely does not include it.

50 and over, or a family history of stroke, brain tumour or cervical cancer.

Tier contents verified 2026-08 at the centres we book. Branch contents can differ slightly for the same tier, so we confirm the exact list for your city before you pay. Prices are set in US dollars and settled in Chinese yuan at the prevailing rate. Nothing here is medical advice.

Complete and Advanced screen for cancer identically. Both carry the same eleven tumour markers — Advanced adds nothing to the cancer panel. What the extra $220 buys is the head CT, the brain blood-flow study, a stool test, and deeper cardiac and kidney bloodwork. If cancer screening is your reason for coming, Complete is the one to book. If stroke risk or a family history of brain disease is, Advanced earns its money.
On Baseline and Standard, the chest CT comes without film. Those two tiers state the scan is issued as a report only. Complete and Advanced do not carry that restriction. If you want the images themselves — and you should, if you are taking results back to your own doctor — tell us and we will arrange for the scan to be released to you whichever tier you book.
Cervical screening: every tier has some, only Advanced has HPV. Baseline and Standard use a conventional Pap smear. Complete upgrades to liquid-based cytology, which is more sensitive. Advanced adds HPV genotyping across 23 or more types — the only tier that tests for the virus itself rather than just the cells. If HPV testing matters to you, that is the reason to choose Advanced over Complete.
No tier includes gastroscopy or colonoscopy. H. pylori antibody testing — and the stool test on Advanced — are not substitutes for endoscopy. If you are over 40 or have a family history of stomach or bowel cancer, book gastroscopy or colonoscopy separately. Tell us and we will arrange it alongside.
What is the same across all four. Every tier includes a chest CT, abdominal ultrasound, prostate ultrasound for men, breast and pelvic ultrasound for women, full blood count, urinalysis, fasting glucose, H. pylori testing, an ECG, and the ENT, surgical, internal-medicine and general examinations. You are never buying the basics twice — the money buys depth, not coverage.
