Built by patients.
Run for patients.

Panda Touring Care was founded on a single conviction: that access to the world’s best regenerative medicine shouldn’t depend on where you were born or how much you can spend at home.

Why we exist

The best care in the world shouldn’t require a lottery ticket.

In 2018, co-founder Marcus Chen watched his father wait 14 months for a knee replacement in Canada while the same surgery — at a higher-rated hospital — was available in Shanghai within three weeks for a fraction of the cost. That gap felt unconscionable. We built Panda Touring Care to close it.

Today we work with 11 partner hospitals across Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, covering orthopedics, neurology, oncology support, and cardiovascular regenerative medicine. Every patient gets a dedicated English-speaking coordinator, a fully itemized treatment plan, and a 12-month outcomes follow-up — at no extra charge.

How we work —
and what we won’t do.

These aren’t aspirational statements. They’re the specific commitments we make to every patient before they sign anything.

🔍

Radical transparency

We publish our partner criteria, our fee structure, and the outcome data we collect. No hidden commissions. No inflated quotes.

🤝

Patient-first coordination

Your coordinator speaks your language, answers within 4 hours, and is with you from first inquiry through 12-month follow-up.

🏥

Rigorous hospital selection

We audit every partner facility annually against a 140-point checklist covering safety protocols, outcomes reporting, and patient experience.

🔬

Evidence-based only

We refer patients only to treatments with peer-reviewed efficacy data. If a therapy isn't ready, we say so — even if it costs us a booking.

Not a commitment.

A 30-minute video consultation with one of our physicians is free. We’ll review your case honestly — including whether treatment in China is right for you, or whether something closer to home might serve you better.
