- What is Medical Tourism in China

Relevant government departments and Medical institutions have begun to jointly explore replicable models for the development of the international Medical Tourism industry. Moreover, over 90% of the customers of Medical Tourism China mainly travel abroad, and the inbound Medical Tourism industry in China is still in its early infancy.
