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; tests can take months to complete

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 test 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: typical overseas self-navigated 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 losses 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.
