Efficiency Comparison

Compress months of handoffs into a managed route

The advantage is not only the doctor. It is the handoff: booking, arrival, consult, tests, reports, and treatment start.

Full process: Booking → Check-in → Consultation → Tests → Reports → Treatment

Step-by-step Comparison

Overseas (Self-Navigated)

China via SANA

Registration & Booking

Public specialist wait: 1–6 months; requires GP referral and multiple approvals

Same-day or 1–3 days to confirm specialist; direct department match, no referral needed

Check-in

Heavy paperwork and tedious insurance verification; check-in takes 30–60 min

Forms prepped in advance; guided directly to consultation room; check-in in 10 min

Consultation

Public hospital consultation often just 5–15 min; cross-language gaps risk missing key history

20–40 min thorough consultation; bilingual escort ensures complete communication; doctor receives pre-visit record summary

Tests & Imaging

Tests scattered across facilities; individual wait 1–3 months; completing all tests often spans multiple months

Tests consolidated in one hospital and completed same-day; sequence pre-planned; fully escorted

Reports

Reports take weeks to months; patient must track across different facilities independently

Imaging and standard lab results in 30 mins to 1 day; unified tracking with translated key findings

Treatment Start

After diagnosis: months of waiting for scheduling due to tedious insurance approvals and long surgery queues

Treatment starts within days to 1 week after diagnosis; seamless handoff to admission/surgery in the same hospital

From initial inquiry to treatment start: overseas public pathways often take months to over half a year; China via SANA typically compresses this to days or 1–2 weeks (excluding patient travel scheduling).

Within SANA's partner hospital network, consultation, testing, reports, admission, and surgery are completed in one institution — eliminating time loss and information gaps from cross-hospital referrals.

Price Comparison

Price Comparison Advantage

For comparable specialist access, diagnostics, procedures, and inpatient service, China's international hospitals can be dramatically more cost-efficient than the US, Europe, Japan, or Singapore.
