A Path to Healthcare in China: Bangladeshis turning to Kunming for treatment

City Desk:

Leading hospitals in Kunming, the capital of China’s Yunnan province, are increasingly attracting Bangladeshi patients seeking advanced but affordable medical treatment for critical diseases, with authorities pledging faster visas, smoother procedures and language support to ease medical tourism.

Chinese officials said urgent visas can be issued within a day under a ‘green channel’, with many requirements already eased, reports UNB.

They said their hospitals provide high-quality treatment at about one-fourth the cost of Thailand, cheaper than Malaysia, and only slightly higher than top Indian hospitals.
