About coronary disease

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death globally and accumulates risk over decades. Modern care spans primary prevention (statins, BP control, lifestyle), secondary prevention after events, and intervention (PCI, CABG). China's cardiac centres — anchored by Fuwai NCCD with one of the highest cardiac surgery volumes globally — deliver world-class care at substantially lower cost.

Why Indonesia patients travel to China

Indonesian patients commonly come for: nasopharyngeal carcinoma (Indonesia has high regional NPC prevalence; SYSU Guangzhou is global #1), cardiac surgery, stem cell therapy, orthopedic, fertility / IVF. Halal arrangements similar to Saudi/UAE.

Recommended cities for Indonesia patients

Guangzhou (SYSU Cancer Center for NPC and head & neck — particularly relevant for Indonesian patients given regional NPC prevalence), Shenzhen (cellular therapy, dental, English-first), Shanghai for premium cases.
