Do I need to translate medical records for a China hospital?

A practical, general-information answer for international patients considering medical care in Shanghai.

Answer

Ask the receiving department which documents need translation and whether certified translation is required. Keep the original reports, imaging and pathology available because translation alone may omit details needed for clinical review.
