Stuck on an NHS or insurance waiting list? SinoHealth arranges world-class elective surgery and a full health check in China — completed in about 1–2 weeks, at a fraction of Western private prices.
The NHS elective waiting list stands at over 7 million pathways, and only about 60% of patients are treated within 18 weeks. Orthopaedics is the single largest queue — almost 860,000 people — while ENT delays leave around 600,000 waiting.
Hip & knee replacement · spinal surgery · ACL reconstruction & arthroscopy.
Hernia repair · gallbladder removal — mostly keyhole, faster recovery.
Cataract surgery — day-case, one eye at a time, with premium lens options.
Hysterectomy · endometriosis excision — minimally invasive where suitable.
Tonsillectomy & adenoidectomy · septoplasty · sinus surgery (FESS).
Many other planned procedures can be arranged — send your details and we'll advise.
Tailored to your procedure. Day-case operations can fit a shorter ~1-week trip; major joint replacement and spinal surgery are planned around a fuller ~2-week stay with early rehabilitation.
