In general, here clinics are private own by a doctor or group of doctors, and they treat out patients. Some do not have much in terms of equipment, I do know a couple of them locally that do not even have an X-Ray machine, and refer you to a hospital for X-Rays, lab work, etc. I would say doctors at clinics are mostly "generalists", or knowing a little of everything.

Hospitals are much better equiped, and have a broader range of doctors with different areas covered. At hospitals, within the different departments, they have a staff of doctors who each is am "specialist" and concentrates only in his or her area of interest.

If you have a cold then it is OK to visit a clinic, if you have a heart attack, you will be better of in a hospital.

It will depend mainly on what is causing you to seek medical help.

I recommend you should go to a hospital. There are numerous hospital in China. So you need to figure out what kind of specialist(dentist, psycologist,etc) you are looking for.

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
