Health screening
Five health programmes,
one honest comparison.
The same hospital publishes all five prices. Here is what each one actually tests, and who it is not for.
- Price range
- $610–$1,300
- Time required
- 1–2 days
- Report
- 5–10 working days
- Languages
- EN + 中文
Start with your age, not the price
Age and family history decide this more than budget. Four cases, four answers.
Not sure, or already have a symptom? Then a checkup may be the wrong first step. Send us the reports and we will tell you which department to book instead, including when the answer is none.
| 20 – 39 |
Baseline, no symptoms Blood, urine, abdominal and thyroid ultrasound, ECG, liver stiffness. Add a scope only if you have symptoms or a family history. |

|---|---|---|
| 40 – 49 |
Add the imaging that matters After 40 the useful additions are a low-dose chest CT, carotid ultrasound and echocardiography. Blood tests alone miss all three. |

| 50+ |
Screen for the findable cancers From 45, or ten years before the youngest cancer case in your family: chest CT, both scopes under one sedation, gender-specific imaging. |

| 6 – 18 |
Growth and nutrition Growth curve, nutrition, immunity and organ ultrasound, read by a paediatrician and written for parents. |

What the money actually buys
Every row below is a test the hospital performs, not a marketing category. The extra money between programmes buys imaging and endoscopy, not more blood tubes.
| Group / Test | Baseline $610 | Executive $1,000 | Teen $800 | Cancer screen $1,200 | GI scopes $730 |

A tick means the test is in the published price. A dash means it is not performed in that programme and would be quoted separately.

What the morning looks like
A baseline or executive programme, from arrival to the doctor explaining the first results. Endoscopy programmes follow the same pattern over two days.
-
07:30
Arrival and check-in
Your coordinator meets you at the international centre. Passport and insurance card, then a quiet room rather than a queue.
-
08:00
Blood and urine
Fasting bloods and urine taken first, so you can eat as soon as the glucose test is done. Ten to twelve tubes is normal.
-
09:00
Ultrasound and ECG
Abdominal, thyroid and, in the executive programme, carotid and cardiac ultrasound. Same floor, booked back to back.
-
10:30
CT, or the scopes
Low-dose chest CT takes ten minutes. On endoscopy programmes, sedation and the scopes happen here instead.
-
11:30
Doctor review and breakfast
A physician reads the same-day results with you and flags anything that needs a follow-up. The written report follows in 5 to 10 working days.
What you take home
- 01
The hospital's own report: every value, the reference range, and the radiologist's or pathologist's description in full.
- 02
An English summary written for your own doctor at home: what was found, what changed since last time, and what to do next.
- 03
The imaging on disc, not just the report, so a specialist at home can look at the actual scan.
If something is found
Most abnormal findings are not cancer, and most need only a repeat scan in three to six months. The report says which of the two it is, in plain language.
If treatment is recommended, you get a written plan and price from that department, and a second opinion if you want one. Nothing is booked without your written agreement.
A checkup cannot rule out disease. It finds what is visible on the day with these tests; symptoms between checkups still need a doctor.
Where
Performed at a tertiary hospital international centre in Foshan, Guangdong. Hospital details are confirmed with your booking.

Common questions
Do I need to fast? add
Yes for blood work and sedation endoscopy: no food for 8 hours, and bowel preparation starts the evening before a colonoscopy. The hospital sends the exact schedule after booking.
Can I do it in one day? add
The basic and executive programmes usually finish in one day. Endoscopy programmes need two days because of bowel preparation and sedation.
Is the report in English? add
You get the hospital's Chinese report plus an English summary of the findings and recommendations. Full translation of every page is available on request.
What if something is found? add
The report names the department to see next. Treatment is quoted separately by that department; nothing is booked without your written agreement.
Can I add PET-CT or genetic testing? add
Yes, at extra cost and quoted before the appointment. We list the add-on price in writing so it does not appear as a surprise on the bill.
