Chinese public hospitals, at least ten years ago, didn’t provide nursing assistant care, so families would be responsible for cleaning and feeding someone in the hospital. Private hospitals are another matter, and when I lived in Beijing, I would go private even for ER services. And the private hospitals were pretty affordable, most of the doctors were foreign or foreign trained, most Chinese med students go to the public hospitals for residencies and after they graduate (my wife has a cousin in Shanghai finishing up her Med degree now). The program is different, it’s a 5 year degree plus residency, though you can go for a masters or PhD also (many doctors do), I think the American system of medical school is the odd one out.

Private health insurance had a cap (~$100k/year) for some reason. I thought that was risky.
