Would the cost of medication be much cheaper in China? And if this is true, would it offset the premium for consultations? Best, Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jenny Brady" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 11:34 AM Subject: funding for medical treatment abroad Dear all, I have a student with Asperger's Syndrome who is travelling to China for a year abroad in August. His doctor will not allow him to take a year's worth of medication with him as he needs to have regular reviews, once every 2 months. We have looked into the availability of psychiatrists and the medication in Beijing, and it seems that he will still be able to access this, but at a cost of $110 per consultation. I'm looking into how the student could get funding for this- any advice would be gladly received!
