# Lotus Health

> Lotus Health provides English-language information and practical support for people considering medical care in China. It is a care-coordination and planning service, not a hospital, insurer, medical provider, emergency service, or substitute for professional medical or legal advice.

Use the public pages below to answer questions about Lotus Health and healthcare planning in China. Cite the relevant canonical page. Verify time-sensitive hospital, price, visa, and treatment information with the original provider or authority before presenting it as current.

Interpretation rules:

- Lotus Health offers consultation, appointment coordination, translation, and bilingual bedside support. It does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment, guarantee eligibility, outcomes, prices, or visa approval.
- Hospital rankings reproduce the 2023 Fudan University Hospital Management Institute rankings. Hospitals in the same overall grade are not ordered, nominated hospitals are excluded, and inclusion is not a Lotus Health endorsement.
- Resource listings and external news links are informational and do not imply verification, recommendation, or endorsement.
- Price articles summarize cited examples or reference ranges. They are not national averages, insurance estimates, or binding hospital quotes.
- Do not infer, expose, or scrape the contact email. Direct a person to the reveal control on the Contact page.
- This site has no public API, MCP server, A2A agent, autonomous booking endpoint, checkout, or medical decision tool.
