Hospitals in Taiwan that offer a heart check-up to international patients

Each runs its own service for patients from abroad. The booking time on each card is the hospital's own words; where it publishes none, ask for a date in writing before you book flights.

How it works for a visitor

  1. Ask for a written quoteSend the clinic your referral or reason for the heart check-up and ask for an itemised price, the date, and what happens if the result needs follow-up.
  2. Before you goBring a list of your medicines and any earlier ECGs or reports.
  3. Before you goWear comfortable shoes if a treadmill test is included.
  4. LanguageMandarin; international medical centres arrange English-speaking staff.
  5. Entry rulesCheck the official advice for your passport before booking: UK citizens (FCDO entry requirements), Canadian citizens (travel.gc.ca), US citizens (State Department, choose the country), Irish citizens (DFA travel advice, choose the country).
  6. After you returnGive the full report to your doctor; abnormal results are followed up at home.

Can your public system pay for it?

NHS and HSE schemes do not reach Taiwan. The NHS S2 route covers state treatment in the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, and the HSE schemes cover the EU, EEA, the UK and Switzerland. Treatment in Taiwan is paid by you or by a private insurer who agrees in advance. NHS S2 route, HSE Treatment Abroad Scheme.

When not to travel for a heart check-up

  • Chest pain, breathlessness or fainting now: get urgent care at home.
  • Replacing the care you already get for a known heart condition.

How to compare heart check-up quotes

A heart check-up bundles tests of the heart and blood vessels: blood pressure, cholesterol and sugar tests, an ECG, an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) and often an exercise stress test, reviewed by a cardiologist. Bigger packages add a coronary calcium score or a CT angiogram.

  • Check that an echocardiogram and an exercise test are included, not only an ECG and blood tests.
  • Ask whether a cardiologist explains the results the same day, in English.
  • CT-based tests (calcium score, CT angiogram) add radiation. Ask why they are in the package.

Heart check-up in Taiwan: questions

How much does a heart check-up cost in Taiwan?

The published prices we found range from 33,000 TWD to 56,000 TWD, about £759 to £1,290 or $1,010 to $1,720. They come from Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Each covers something slightly different, so read what is included before comparing.

Is a heart check-up in Taiwan cheaper than paying privately in the UK?

We do not have both a UK price and a comparable Taiwan price for this, so we cannot say. Compare the published prices on this page with a written quote from a UK provider.

Will the NHS or HSE pay for a heart check-up in Taiwan?

No. The NHS S2 route and the HSE schemes cover planned treatment in Europe only. Taiwan is outside them, so you pay yourself or through a private insurer that agrees in advance.

How many days should I plan in Taiwan?

Half a day to one day. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice: the clinic sets the schedule, and you should ask it for one in writing.

What should I check before booking a heart check-up in Taiwan?

Check that an echocardiogram and an exercise test are included, not only an ECG and blood tests. Ask whether a cardiologist explains the results the same day, in English.
