What records should I bring to China for a medical appointment?

A practical planning answer for international patients considering care in Shanghai.

Answer

Prepare a one-page timeline, diagnosis or symptoms, laboratory results, imaging in its original format where possible, pathology, current medication and allergy information, prior operations and passport details. Keep imaging in the original DICOM format when possible, and ask whether certified translation is needed before travel.
