Local Health Insurance
China offers an insurance system for urban employees, which varies widely by region. In metropolises like Beijing or Shanghai, there are modern hospitals, while rural areas often have inadequate facilities. Language barriers and bureaucracy can also be challenging for foreigners.
International Health Insurance
An international policy ensures access to high-quality private hospitals (often internationally oriented) and covers repatriation or further treatment abroad if needed. Thus, you avoid potential supply shortages and costly bills in China.
