In the news

What independent reporting says about this.

An episode of the BBC's Asia Specific podcast on patients travelling to China for CAR-T cell therapy, featuring an Australian doctor who went to Shanghai for treatment of her own multiple myeloma, and a health reporter on how China came to run more CAR-T trials than anywhere else.

Independent BBC reporting, embedded for context. It is not produced by, affiliated with, or endorsed by MedAccess.care, and the cost, speed and outcome claims made in it are the programme's, not ours. It discusses cancer treatment and is not medical advice. Regulatory status for any specific treatment is recorded on that treatment's page.

Treatments

Start from a treatment or condition.

Where are you starting from?

Three ways in, depending on what you already know.

  • I have a diagnosis and I'm looking for options

    Start from the condition. We show which pathways are currently open, under which rule, and when each was last checked.

    Browse by condition →

  • I have a treatment name and want to know if it's available

    Search the name above. If a route is closed or unconfirmed, the page says so rather than leaving a stale claim up.

    Search treatments →

  • I don't know where to start — I want to talk to someone

    A care navigator can help you work out what to ask for. Navigators coordinate access; they do not give medical advice.

The status labels

Every treatment carries a status, a source and a date.

Regulatory status is the difference between a treatment you can actually receive and one you cannot. We record it as structured data — what rule the treatment sits under, which body authorised it, the public reference, and when we last checked — rather than describing it loosely in an article. When a route closes, the label changes.

Routine / NMPA-approved
Registered with the National Medical Products Administration and available through normal hospital admission. The registration number is on the treatment page.
Boao special access
Permitted inside the Boao Lecheng pilot zone under a named authorisation notice, not nationally registered. We cite the notice number and the date we last checked it.
Registered clinical trial
Available only by enrolling in a trial with a public registration identifier. Enrolment criteria are set by the trial, not by us, and most applicants do not qualify.
Hospital translational program
A hospital-run programme operating under institutional review rather than a market registration. Evidence is earlier-stage; we label it as such rather than calling it approved.
Unverified / unavailable
We could not confirm current availability, or a previously open route has closed. We would rather show this than leave a stale claim on the page.
How we verify, and what each date means →
How we verify, and what each date means
  • “Verified” means we confirmed with the treating hospital that the pathway was open to new international cases on the date shown — not that a treatment is safe, effective, or right for you.
  • The date is the last time a person checked, not the date the page was published. Anything older than 90 days is re-checked before we pass a case to a hospital.
  • Where a treatment runs under a named authorisation or trial registration, we record that identifier so you can look it up yourself.
  • When a route closes, we move the status to “Unverified / unavailable” and leave the page up rather than deleting it, so a link you were sent still tells you what changed.
  • We do not assess whether you qualify. Eligibility is decided by the treating hospital's licensed physicians against their own criteria.

How it works

You decide at step 4, before anything is booked.

  1. 1

    Discover

    Find the treatment or condition and read its current status, authorising body and verification date.

  2. 2

    Prepare your case

    We tell you exactly which records a hospital needs, and translate them into the hospital's working language.

  3. 3

    A hospital reviews

    Licensed physicians at the treating hospital assess your case and respond in writing, including a cost estimate.

  4. 4

    You decide

    You hold the written response and the estimate before committing to anything. Nothing is booked until you say so.

  5. 5

    You book your flight

    That is the only arrangement you make yourself. Tell us your dates and the rest is scheduled around them.

  6. 6

    We coordinate on the ground

    A bilingual coordinator meets you, handles accommodation, admission and appointments, and interprets at every consultation.

Once you decide to go

You book one flight. We arrange the rest.

Once a hospital has accepted your case and you have decided to go, a bilingual coordinator who speaks English and Mandarin takes over the logistics. You are not left to negotiate a foreign hospital system, in a language you do not read, while you are unwell.

  • Your flight is the only booking you make

    You choose your dates and book your own travel. Everything from arrival onwards is arranged for you.

  • Met at the airport

    Your coordinator meets you on arrival and takes you to your accommodation. No taxi negotiation on day one.

  • Accommodation near the hospital

    We arrange a hotel or serviced apartment close to the treating hospital, with room for the family member travelling with you.

  • Admission and appointments booked

    Registration, admission, scans and consultations are scheduled before you land, and rescheduled by us if the hospital moves anything.

  • An interpreter in every appointment

    Your coordinator attends consultations with you, so you hear what the physician actually said rather than a summary afterwards.

  • Records handled in both directions

    Your records are translated for the hospital before you travel, and the hospital's reports are translated back for your doctor at home.

Coordination is logistics, not care. Your coordinator does not give medical advice, interpret results, or make decisions on your behalf — those stay with the treating physicians and with you.

Why China

Why patients look at China

China registers and runs some cell, radiation and translational therapies that are not yet routinely available elsewhere, and the Boao Lecheng pilot zone exists specifically to admit treatments ahead of national registration. That creates real options — and a real need to know exactly which rule a given treatment sits under, which is what this site records.

  • Specialist capacity at scale

    Proton and heavy-ion centres, cell-therapy units and dedicated oncology hospitals operate at volumes that keep waiting times short for reviewed cases.

  • A named special-access route

    The Boao Lecheng pilot zone admits specific treatments under published authorisation notices. We cite the notice, not the reputation.

  • Registered trials you can look up

    Trial pathways carry public registration identifiers, so eligibility is set by a protocol you can read rather than by a sales conversation.

For patients

Find a verified path, then decide with a written estimate.

Search a condition or treatment, confirm it is currently available, and ask a hospital to review your case. MedAccess.care coordinates access. Licensed hospital physicians make the clinical decisions.

For doctors

Refer a patient for hospital review abroad.

Share records, request a documented hospital response, and keep medical authority with the treating team. We do not diagnose, treat, or recommend a specific doctor.

About

We coordinate access. Hospitals make the clinical decisions.

MedAccess.care exists because the hardest part of cross-border treatment is not finding a hospital — it is finding out whether a specific treatment is actually open to you right now, under which rule, and on what evidence. We record that as structured, dated data and keep it current. We are not a hospital, we do not employ your treating physicians, and we do not decide whether you qualify.

Already been advised to seek treatment abroad?

If a physician has advised treatment and you need hospital review and coordination arranged, that is what we do. We do not diagnose, treat, or make eligibility decisions.

Start with a short description of the situation. Please do not send passport scans, payment details, or your full medical records in a first message — we will tell you exactly what is needed, and when.

Check my options

MedAccess.care coordinates access and does not diagnose, treat, or decide eligibility. Every treatment has different evidence, regulatory status, risks, and eligibility requirements. Final treatment decisions are made by participating hospitals and their licensed physicians.
