Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
China's hospitals are cultivating a new wave of international patients. Their destination is no longer just a cultural landmark, but a state-of-the-art operating room, drawn by what many systems lack: efficiency and affordability. With dramatically shorter wait times and costs a fraction of those in the West, China is rapidly carving out a reputation as a premier hub for medical tourism. On the show: Steve, Yushun & Xingyu.
