Stay duration depends entirely on your child's condition, the treatment required, and their recovery progress. As a guide: congenital surgery (e.g. cleft lip, hypospadias) is 5 to 14 days inpatient plus a review period; NICU care for premature infants is weeks to months depending on gestational age and clinical stability; developmental assessment is 1 to 3 outpatient visits; cranial remodelling programme involves a fitting visit plus regular outpatient reviews over several weeks; paediatric respiratory or ENT procedures are often outpatient or a short inpatient stay.

Paediatric treatment costs at UFH vary depending on the subspecialty, the procedure or assessment required, the duration of any inpatient stay, the number of specialist disciplines involved, and any surgical or diagnostic components. A written cost estimate can be provided before travel following a review of your child's medical records. Payment is accepted in USD or RMB, upfront. Direct billing is available with 100+ international insurance providers including Bupa and Allianz. Virtual consultations from USD 500 are available for initial case review.
