A one-stop service center for foreigners, working in Hunan was set up back in 2021 by local authorities. Expats are able to get their medical checks all sorted in one place which is directly fed into the visa renewal process thus reducing the overall visa processing time. While the medical check process is pretty much the same, we strongly recommend making an appointment prior to turning up. Previously, the visa process needed to go through three government departments -- customs, science and technology, and public security -- for the documents required to work in China.
Do I need an appointment?
No, but it would help to book one in advance using the official wechat account (scan the code below) or the direct url link (copy and paste it).
When can I go there?
Mornings are best, Mondays to Fridays. Afternoons may be too late for any mandatory blood tests.
Where do I get my results from?
The same centre on the date on the receipt you're handed, although there is a delivery service desk who can send on the final certificate to a local address. You may need two passport sized photos for this part.
When is best to go there?
We advise midweek as Mondays and Fridays tend to be busiest.
How long does it take?
A rough estimate would be around two hours. The test rooms are situated on two levels of the building (X ray ground floor, all other tests upper floors).
What do they test me for?
Blood tests: Check for blood type, HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B and C, and liver function; Chest X-ray screens for tuberculosis; Electrocardiogram (ECG) checks heart health; Ultrasound targets body organs and their status; eyesight, weight and finally a urine test detects any underlying health issues as well as exposure to illegal drugs.

TIPS
Take your returning address for any delivery, if you choose it. Also, have all other addresses, contacts details and full company names if getting a Z or similar visa. Don't forget your passport (obviously). Cash or Wechat/Alipay for the test - typically around 500RMB.
