Bilingual Medical Concierge & Companion Service

DoveCure Bilingual Medical Concierge Service is designed for all international patients and their families who choose to receive advanced medical services in China, dedicated to solving all kinds of troubles caused by language barriers, unfamiliar procedures and cultural differences during their medical visits in China. We are far more than interpreters — we are your trusted medical partner and the bridge for cross-cultural communication.
ext & Image Teleconsultation

Before you travel to China for medical treatment, let a licensed physician from a Chinese hospital review your medical records first to help you decide whether to proceed. You can upload your medical history and test reports at home — our platform will organize and translate the documents, then match them with a corresponding licensed physician. After reviewing your materials, the doctor will issue a written diagnosis and treatment recommendation, along with guidance on medication and medical visits. You will receive a response within 48 hours from the moment the case is accepted. We will deliver the original Chinese response from the doctor, plus a bilingual consultation summary organized by our platform. This is a flat, per-case price that already includes the physician's consultation fee — no additional service charges will be levied by the platform.
