Sichuan Taikang Hospital: How We Can Help
We’d like to share real stories from Taikang’s international patients to showcase the high-quality, easily accessible healthcare available in southwest China. This region has truly developed into a world-class medical hub—where treatments we once had to travel back home for are now available right here in the city we call home.
Sichuan Taikang Hospital’s international medical services have multilingual consultations, personalized treatment plans, and support for complex surgeries, that help break down communication barriers and meet the diverse needs of patients from abroad. The result is a smooth experience that puts patient health and dignity first. So far, more than 300 international patients from 25 countries, including the UK, USA, Spain, Russia and Brazil, have been treated here. Below are a few real cases that highlight the hospital’s cross-border capabilities:
Life-Saving Spinal Surgery for a Russian Patient
Mr. Ivan (pseudonym) developed atlanto-occipital junction malformation and extensive syringomyelia secondary to a lumbar fracture at the age of 14, resulting in limb disability and severe intractable pain. He was referred to Sichuan Taikang Hospital and flew to our institution from Russia for further medical management.A multidisciplinary team (MDT) of neurosurgery, anesthesiology and critical care specialists collaborated to formulate a personalized treatment plan. Under the leadership of Dr. Yuan Yuqing, the team successfully performed a complex six-hour surgical procedure. Postoperatively,Mr. Ivan experienced a marked improvement in limb muscle strength and complete resolution of pain, he later presented a handwritten thank-you letter in Russian, praising Dr. Yuan as “an angel on earth”.

Postoperatively, Tom’s neck pain and headaches disappeared immediately, and he regained free neck movement, expressing deep gratitude to the team.
