Q: Are Chinese hospitals okay for small procedures?

I may need to get some blood work done and a few small procedures. I wouldn't even consider a major procedure at a local hospital, but the small stuff should be okay.... right?

What you should keep in mind is to select the proper hospital. In just about any city in China, there are various hospitals, some are good (and more expensive), and some are not that good. If you were in Nanning, I would suggest to you only two, the No. 1 People's Hospital and the Military Hospital. All the others I will not allow even my fingernails cut.

And at any, be on the look out on the instrumentation they use on you. For example, do not take a shot, or allow blood to be drawn, unless you are certain that the needle to be used is brand new (taken out of a paper cover in front of you).

I have in the past used small local hospitals but always request to see the needle being unsealed from the plastic. But as far as procedures, only at the International hospitals

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
