Treatment in China? We're getting it ready.
Medifly has no partner hospital in China today. Tell us your case, and our doctors will say whether waiting for China makes sense, or whether a destination that is ready today fits you better.

Where we are right now.
We do not open a country from behind a desk. Before we send a single patient, our team stands inside the hospital, meets the doctors, and makes sure there is Indonesian-speaking support on the ground. China is going through that same process now.
Exploring
Mapping the hospitals and specialties that matter for Indonesian patients.
Current stage
Hospital visits
Our team goes in person, walks the corridors, and talks to the international teams.
- 3
Doctor verification
Every doctor's credentials are checked one by one before they join the network.
- 4
Open
The first patients travel with our team beside them.
The numbers that are actually useful to you.
Not medical-tourism statistics. The practical things for a trip you might be planning.
≈5h
Shortest direct flight from Jakarta, to Guangzhou
+1 hour
Time difference from Jakarta, the same as Bali
One clock
The whole country runs on one time zone, so nothing to reset between cities
≈4h 30m
Shanghai to Beijing by high-speed rail, no airport in between
The cities we're scouting first.
Three cities, nearest to Jakarta first. We start where it makes the most sense for an Indonesian family.
City 1
Guangzhou
≈5h directThe closest major medical city to Jakarta, and the easiest first trip for a family.
City 2
Shanghai
≈6h 30m directWhere most of the international patient wings and English-speaking desks are concentrated.
City 3
Beijing
≈7h 30m directThe teaching hospitals attached to the big medical universities are here.
While you wait, useful things to know about China.
Not a travel guide. The small things that make a treatment trip easier for a patient and their family.
One country, one clock
China spans thousands of kilometres east to west, yet the whole country runs on one time: Beijing time. You never reset your watch between cities.
Pay by phone
Daily life runs on Alipay and WeChat Pay, from taxis to the hospital canteen. International cards can be linked to both before you fly, and we help you set it up.
WhatsApp and Google do not just work
In mainland China, WhatsApp, Google, and Instagram are not reachable out of the box. Family at home still needs to reach you, so we sort this out before departure, not after arrival.
High-speed rail between cities
The high-speed network links the major cities. Shanghai to Beijing takes around four and a half hours, with no airport in between.
Hot water, everywhere
Hospitals, hotels, and stations all have hot-water dispensers. Drinking warm water is an everyday habit there, so your flask will never run empty.
Traditional medicine beside modern medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine runs alongside modern medicine in many hospitals. Our doctors will tell you what the evidence supports for your case, before you decide.
What we check before we open a new destination.
The same list we used for Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. China gets no shortcut.
We stand inside the hospital
Not a brochure, not a website. Our team visits, sees the wards, and meets the international team.
The doctors, one by one
Credentials, experience, and the cases they actually treat. What we cannot verify, we do not recommend.
Indonesian-speaking support
Where the local language is far from ours, this is not a bonus. It is a requirement.
The same price the hospital charges
You pay what the hospital charges, not more. Partner hospitals pay us.
Meanwhile, this is where our doctors send patients today.
A partner network that is already running, with doctors and hospitals we know in person.
China might be right for your case. It might not. Tell us your case. If Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, or staying home makes more sense today, we will say so rather than ask you to wait.
How it works
From your first message to the operating room.
Tell us what’s wrong
Symptoms, history, and what you’ve been told so far.
Our doctors study your case
Which specialist and which hospital give you the best chance.
Our doctors recommend the specialist
By call, video or in person, they explain the recommendation until the decision is clear.
We take it from here
Hospital, flights, travel. Where appropriate, we come with you.
Free and confidential
Questions about China.
When will China open?
We do not promise a date. A country joins the network when its hospitals and doctors pass our checks, not when a calendar says so. Leave a message and we will tell you the moment the first patients can travel.
Can I get help going to China now?
You can talk to our doctors now, free. They will be honest: if your case is better treated in a destination we already know, that is what they will recommend.
Do Indonesian passport holders need a visa for China?
The rules differ by destination and change over time. So we check the current rule for your passport when you ask, rather than guess from this page. We help prepare the paperwork too.
What about the language?
Mandarin is the main language, and English is uneven outside a hospital's international wing. That is why Indonesian-speaking support is our requirement before opening China, not an add-on.
Why is Medifly looking at China?
Because every patient deserves to know all their options. We want to answer questions about China the same way we answer them about Malaysia: after seeing it for ourselves.
Want to know when China opens?
Leave a message. A doctor replies now, and we tell you when the first patients can travel.
