Medical travel from Indonesia to China: a checklist
Work through these in order. Each step answers a question before you spend money on the next one.

1. Write down the medical question
Agree with the patient's doctor in Indonesia what you want to find out: a second opinion, a specific treatment, or an operation. If the condition is urgent, treat it locally first.
2. Gather the records
Pathology, scans (with image files if possible), treatment history, recent blood tests and current medicines. A one-page summary helps. See our records guide in Bahasa Indonesia.
3. Get a hospital's view before travelling
Ask for a remote review or second opinion first. It tells you whether the trip has a clear purpose.
4. Check entry rules
Check current visa rules with the Chinese embassy or consulate that serves you. The 240-hour visa-free transit applies only when travelling on to a third country, not to a return trip between Indonesia and China. See our visa guide.
5. Get the total cost in writing
The hospital's itemised quote, plus flights, stay, a companion and a reserve. See planning the total cost.
6. Plan follow-up at home
Before treatment starts, agree how results and the discharge summary will reach the patient's doctor in Indonesia, and whether any medicines can be continued at home.
