Your 3-Step Journey to Treatment

We handle the complexity — you focus on the decision.

Readiness Audit & Dossier Submission

Financial + logistical verification → Secure Medical Vault upload → 72-hr MDT review

Before your clinical dossier is processed, a mandatory readiness check confirms that your family is financially and logistically prepared to move forward. Once verified, you upload your medical records to the Secure Medical Vault for the GZUCM MDT team. Medical records submitted here are transferred to Jinshazhou Hospital of GZUCM in China for review. See our Privacy Policy for details on how your data is handled and protected.

Return Care

Integrated Transition Clinic

The return home is the most critical — and most often neglected — moment in international oncology. Our Transition Clinic is designed to support continuity of care after discharge.

👩‍⚕️

Nurse Navigator Liaison

A dedicated Philippine nurse navigator acts as a communication bridge between the GZUCM specialist team in China and your local oncologist at home — relaying post-treatment summaries, lab results, and imaging reports to support your attending physician's decisions.

💬

WhatsApp Check-In Support

Coordinator-led check-ins via WhatsApp — families can report symptoms and concerns, which are relayed to the clinical team for assessment. Emotional support and practical guidance using a platform Filipino families already rely on daily.

Note: WhatsApp is a third-party platform (Meta). Avoid sharing sensitive medical documents through this channel. Use the Secure Medical Vault for document transfers.

📋

Post-Discharge Monitoring Toolkit

Standardised discharge monitoring forms and symptom checklists — so patients and families know exactly what to track and when to escalate after returning home.
