Important information for patients

Important Notice

The information provided on this website and through our services is for general informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice. Always consult with qualified healthcare professionals before making any medical decisions.

1. Not Medical Advice

OriEast is a medical tourism facilitation company, not a healthcare provider. We do not provide medical diagnoses, treatment recommendations, or medical advice. All information on our website regarding medical procedures, treatments, and outcomes is provided for educational purposes only.

2. Independent Healthcare Providers

All medical treatments are performed by independent healthcare providers at partner hospitals. These providers are not employees or agents of OriEast. Treatment decisions, medical opinions, and clinical outcomes are solely the responsibility of the treating healthcare professionals.

3. Medical Risks

All medical procedures carry inherent risks. Before undergoing any treatment, you should:

  • Discuss all risks, benefits, and alternatives with your treating physician
  • Disclose your complete medical history and current medications
  • Understand that outcomes cannot be guaranteed
  • Be aware of potential complications and side effects
  • Consider obtaining a second opinion from your home country physician

4. Travel-Related Risks

Medical tourism involves additional considerations:

  • Post-operative travel: Flying after surgery may increase certain risks
  • Follow-up care: Continuity of care may be challenging after returning home
  • Communication: Language barriers may affect understanding of medical information
  • Legal recourse: Medical malpractice laws differ between countries
  • Infection risk: Exposure to different pathogens in a new environment

5. Specific Treatment Disclaimers

CAR-T Cell Therapy

CAR-T therapy is an advanced treatment with significant potential risks including cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurological toxicity, and other serious side effects. This treatment requires careful patient selection and monitoring. Results vary significantly between patients.

Stem Cell Treatments

Many stem cell treatments are still experimental and may not be approved in all countries. Efficacy and safety data may be limited. Patients should carefully research the specific treatment being offered and understand that results are not guaranteed.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

TCM treatments may interact with Western medications. Always inform both your TCM practitioner and Western physicians about all treatments you are receiving. Some herbal remedies may have side effects or contraindications.

6. No Guarantees

OriEast does not guarantee any specific medical outcomes. Success rates, recovery times, and results mentioned on our website are based on general statistics and may not reflect individual experiences. Every patient's situation is unique.

7. Insurance and Financial Considerations

Medical treatments obtained abroad may not be covered by your health insurance. Complications arising from treatment may require additional care that could be costly. We strongly recommend obtaining comprehensive medical and travel insurance before traveling.

8. Informed Consent

Before any medical procedure, you will be required to sign informed consent documents provided by the treating hospital. These documents will outline specific risks, benefits, and alternatives for your treatment. Take time to read and understand these documents fully.

9. Emergency Situations

In case of a medical emergency during your stay in China, contact local emergency services (120) immediately. OriEast provides 24/7 support to assist with emergency coordination, but we are not a substitute for emergency medical services.

10. Your Responsibility

By using OriEast's services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this disclaimer. You accept full responsibility for your decision to pursue medical treatment abroad and agree to hold OriEast harmless for any medical outcomes.
