Short Answer
Medical-record translation is not just a convenience. It affects hospital review, quote accuracy, informed decision-making, and follow-up after travel. Patients should translate the right records before care and collect usable summaries before leaving China.

- Diagnosis summaries
- Operative notes if relevant
- Pathology reports
- Imaging reports and DICOM files
- Medication and allergy lists
Before Leaving China
- Discharge summary
- Procedure note
- Lab and imaging reports
- Medication instructions
- Follow-up plan in English or bilingual format
Why This Matters For Search And Real Patients
Foreign patients usually search with specific questions: cost, safety, city choice, records, follow-up, or how many visits are needed. A useful page should answer that question directly, then connect the reader to the broader Jade Crane planning pathway.
