Companion Shanghai is a health management consultancy in Shanghai. We provide non-clinical accompaniment, medical interpretation and care coordination for international patients — we do not diagnose, treat or prescribe.
AI-generated sceneFrom the first message to the day you fly home.
Shanghai has the hospitals, the specialists and the speed. What it does not hand you on arrival is a clear path through them. That is the part we take care of.
Shanghai has more than sixty Grade 3A hospitals, most with an international department and an English-speaking desk. Wherever you stay in the city, top-tier care is usually a short ride away — and these departments welcome patients from abroad every day.
A specialist slot here is typically open in the same week. International and VIP clinics can often see you within a day or two. Scans and blood tests are frequently booked for the very day you ask.
Registration, consultation, imaging, laboratory and pharmacy usually sit within the same hospital grounds, so a full set of tests can often be finished in a single visit, with results in a day or two. Every item is quoted in RMB and confirmed in writing first.
These hospitals care for very large numbers of patients, and several departments are among the busiest in the world. Whatever brings you here, the team in front of you is unlikely to be seeing it for the first time.
Every hospital and every case is different. We check current availability with the hospital and confirm it in writing before you book. We never promise a clinical outcome, and we never sell or guarantee an appointment.
Same companion, same standard, same boundary — no clinical act, ever. The difference is how much of the day we cover.
Up to 4 hours of non-clinical hospital accompaniment in Shanghai, with registration assistance, medical interpretation and patient navigation.

Up to 8 hoursPersonalised non-clinical hospital accompaniment in Shanghai across multiple days and hospitals, with medical interpretation and appointment coordination.
Multi-day, multi-hospitalPriced separately, booked separately. Nothing here is bundled into a package price you did not choose.
We determine which entry route applies to you, prepare the file in your language, and walk you through submission. The visa fee itself is paid by you to the consulate — never to us.
Arranged and priced by a licensed travel agency, not by us. We brief the driver on your clinical schedule and, if you want, send a companion to meet you inside the terminal.
Hourly or daily car with a driver who knows which entrance your department uses. Contracted and invoiced by the travel agency; we only make sure the timings work around your appointments.
Your records, scans and discharge summaries rendered into Chinese for the doctor here — and the Chinese notes back into your language for you. Terminology checked, layout preserved.
Planning and accompaniment for the days around your appointments: Baduanjin at dawn, a Song brocade workshop, a themed route through the city, or a slow City Walk. Experience items are priced separately, so you choose how full the day is.
Arranged and priced by a licensed travel agency. We never quote or collect payment for transport.
For the days when you are not seeing a doctor. Half-day and full-day routes, designed and led by us.
A slow morning through the parts of Shanghai that are built for slowing down.
Three temples in one day, with someone who can tell you what is happening and why.
Not the postcard version. The one where people still live.
Two hours of doing something slowly, with someone explaining every step.
AI-generated sceneEach route is led by us: design, interpretation, cultural briefing and materials. Transport, admission tickets and meals are not included and are never collected by us.
What most visitors actually book. Every item stays separately priced and separately invoiced.
Five steps from first message to the day you fly home. No deposit is ever collected by us on anyone else's behalf.
What you want solved, when you arrive, whether you already see a doctor. We do not need your full record — only enough to decide whether we should take this on.
If it is not right for us, we tell you straight away. If it is, we tell you which department to register with and which tests are worth running.
Each service is priced and confirmed on its own line. Take one item, or take four.
Health and culture services are contracted with us. Accommodation, transport and catering are contracted directly with the licensed travel agency.
Your companion arrives at the agreed time and stays reachable for the whole of your stay — not a ticket number.

A Shanghai health management consultancy that keeps people from getting lost in a system they do not speak.
Shanghai's major hospitals are excellent and almost entirely Chinese-speaking. International departments exist, but the moment you step outside them the language switches back. We provide medical interpretation and patient navigation, with people who understand both the hospital workflow and the culture around it.
Every service is priced and invoiced on its own line. We do not sell packages, because a package hides what you are paying for.
Health services are ours. Travel arrangements belong to a licensed travel agency that contracts with you directly. You always know who to call.
If a request does not fit what we do, we decline it and tell you where to go instead. That is the whole point of publishing boundaries.
