Two new themes

Shopping, and medical and wellness trips.

A bright, quiet clinic reception with a front desk and a waiting area

Health check-ups at public hospitals and quality private hospitals that hold a valid medical institution practising licence, quick to arrange and fitted around the rest of the trip. We book the time slot, pass messages to and from the hospital, and can send a companion with you on the day. The hospital provides all medical care; we do not give medical advice.

How we help: Booking the time slot · Liaison with the hospital · A companion on the day
