About DFU Care China
Specialist Diabetic Foot Care, Coordinated with Confidence
DFU Care China helps international patients access appropriate hospitals and multidisciplinary care in China—through one clear pathway from case review to admission.
Our work begins before a flight is booked. We organise the case, coordinate specialist review, identify a suitable receiving hospital, reserve the required medical resources and prepare the patient’s arrival and admission.
Medical care is provided by independent licensed hospitals and healthcare professionals. DFU Care China coordinates the pathway around that care so patients and families can make informed decisions with greater clarity and confidence.
Why we exist
A complex diabetic foot wound is rarely only a problem of the skin. Healing may depend on circulation, infection control, diabetes management, nutrition, heart and kidney function, mobility and the ability to reconstruct damaged tissue.
For an international family, the challenge is even greater. Medical records may be incomplete or in different languages. Advice may conflict. The right specialist may practise at only certain hospitals. Appropriate beds, operating time and multidisciplinary support may be limited.
DFU Care China was created to bring these moving parts together. Our purpose is simple: help each family understand the available direction, reach an appropriate medical team and enter treatment in China through a safer, better-prepared process.
Our specialist focus
We support international patients with complex or difficult-to-heal wounds, deep infection, poor circulation, tissue loss, suspected bone or joint involvement, or cases in which amputation has been discussed and a further specialist assessment is being considered.
We also understand that diabetes, nutrition, heart or kidney disease and reduced mobility may affect the treatment plan.
Our treatment philosophy
Life first. Limb preservation whenever medically appropriate. Function and dignity throughout.
Our aim is not to promote one procedure. It is to help the medical team evaluate the whole patient and build the right sequence of care—from stabilisation and infection control to circulation assessment, wound preparation and reconstruction where appropriate.
What makes our coordination different
A case-specific pathway
The route is built around the wound, general health, travel risks and treatment priorities—not a standard package.
Hospital access based on clinical fit
We consider required capabilities, multidisciplinary support, current availability and admission readiness.
One accountable coordination team
The family has one clear contact for records, hospital communication, arrangements and next decisions.
Transparent costs and practical support
We separate coordination fees, hospital estimates and optional support, then arrange safe arrival and admission when included in the service.
How the process works
Share the situation
Tell us where the patient is, what has happened and what the family hopes to clarify. A representative should have the patient’s authorisation where possible.
Review and matching
We organise the key records, coordinate multidisciplinary review and identify a hospital capable of supporting the anticipated pathway.
Direction and acceptance
The family receives a preliminary direction, key uncertainties and estimated costs. Travel is planned only after formal hospital acceptance.
Arrival and support
We coordinate agreed arrival and admission arrangements and assist hospital communication throughout the service period.
Multidisciplinary matching. Complex care may require wound reconstruction, diabetes, vascular, infection, anaesthesia, cardiac, kidney, nutrition and rehabilitation expertise. We match each case to the most appropriate available team and hospital setting.
What patients and families can expect from us
- Honest, clear advice. We explain what is known and uncertain—and say so if urgent local care is safer or travel is unlikely to help.
- Careful preparation. We coordinate review and acceptance before travel, then prepare the arrival-to-admission handover.
- Respect and confidentiality. We listen to the family’s priorities and use medical information only as needed for the agreed coordination.
- Protected first contact. Begin with a brief, non-sensitive summary; we will explain the designated channel for records if review is appropriate.
If the condition may be urgent
For a possible medical emergency, contact local emergency services or the nearest appropriate hospital immediately.
Start with a confidential conversation
Tell us briefly where the patient is, what has happened and what help the family is seeking. We will review the initial information and explain the most appropriate next step.
