Frequently asked questions

Plain answers about the free consultation, paid services, your privacy and treatment in China.

The free consultation

Is the first consultation really free?

Yes. Each person can have one free consultation. You do not need a card to apply, and there is no hidden fee.

How do you make sure it is one per person?

We check each request against the email address and phone number used before. A second request from the same person is treated as a follow-up, which is a paid service.

How fast will I get a reply?

Within 48 hours, by email or WhatsApp, whichever you choose in the form. If your symptoms are urgent, seek local medical care now.

Privacy and medical records

Who sees my information?

Only the FreeClinic team and the doctor reviewing your request. We share your details with a partner only with your consent. Read the Privacy policy for details.

How do I send lab results or scans?

Do not attach them to the form. After we reply, you can send them by WhatsApp or as an email reply if the doctor asks for them.

Can I get a diagnosis or prescription?

No. The consultation gives advice and next steps only. It does not replace a diagnosis, prescription or in-person care from your local doctor.

Doctors and treatment in China

Who are the doctors?

Doctors working in China. Each doctor's profile is published on the Doctors page after their licence and credentials are checked.

What if I need surgery or hospital treatment?

With your consent, we refer you to our partner platform SeekDoctor, which arranges specialist care and treatment trips in China. FreeClinic does not arrange surgery or collect treatment fees.

Which countries can apply?

Consultation requests are accepted from China, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany and Italy. Communication is in English or Chinese.
