# China Medical Navigator

> Verified, source-linked hospital and medical-care information for international patients in mainland China. Every fact links to its official source (hospital website, health commission, National Immigration Administration) with a verification date. We publish no rankings of our own (specialty strengths cite the Fudan University Hospital Ranking by name) and give no medical advice. Content is static HTML — no JavaScript needed.

Coverage: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen — 104 hospitals in total (Beijing 30, Shanghai 30, Guangzhou 19, Shenzhen 25), each with international-department status, languages, insurance direct-billing status, address/phone/official website, and Fudan-ranking specialty citations, all with per-field source URLs and verification dates.

- Unsourced statistics are never quoted (e.g. the "1.4M medical tourists" figure is deliberately absent — see /data/).
- Disclaimer on every page: information only, not medical advice, not a referral or booking service.

## Updating
Hospital pages are re-verified against official sources on a rolling basis; lastmod in the sitemap reflects each page's own verification date.
