Shenzhen Medical Escort: Navigating an Endoscopy at Liuyibu Hospital

On January 5th, I completed another successful medical escort mission at the Shenzhen People’s Hospital (Liuyibu).

My client had booked this session days in advance for a painless gastroscopy and colonoscopy. In China, hospitals have a strict policy: “Painless exams (under general anesthesia) require a guardian to sign consent forms and accompany the patient until discharge.”

For many expats or solo professionals in Shenzhen, this requirement is a significant hurdle.

Full-Service Support: From Registration to Recovery

• Navigating the Chaos: Shenzhen People’s Hospital is one of the busiest in the city. I handled the registration and physical queueing, so my client didn’t have to wander through the crowded halls.
• During the Procedure: While she was in the exam room, I stayed at the entrance. Having a trusted representative nearby provides a sense of security that is invaluable in a clinical environment.

Post-Sedation: Why You Need a Physical Companion

After an endoscopy, patients are often dizzy and disoriented due to the anesthesia. This is where our Shenzhen Local Errands Service becomes essential.

I was there to help her walk to the recovery area safely. While she rested, I handled the payment and collected her medication from the pharmacy. By the time she was fully awake, all the paperwork and prescriptions were ready to go.

She was incredibly grateful, saying, “I don’t know how I would have managed this alone.”

Why Use a Medical Escort in China?

1. Mandatory Companion Rules: For procedures like endoscopy, abortion (surgical/medical), or any minor surgery, hospitals require a physical guardian.
2. Language Barrier: Navigating Chinese medical systems can be daunting. Our China Medical Escort Service bridges the gap.
3. Efficiency: We know the layout of major hospitals like Peking University Shenzhen Hospital, HKU-SZH, and Nanshan People’s Hospital, saving you hours of waiting.

Final Thoughts: Take Care of Your Health

As we left the hospital, I reminded her to stay on a light diet and keep regular meal times. To all our clients: thank you for your trust.
