Getting It At Home
If foreigners want to complete the medical examination before they arrive in China, they need to go to a public hospital, undergo a physical examination and have a doctor complete the necessary forms.
They must bring the original medical documents with them when they come to China, if not, they will have to take the physical examination again once they arrive.

However, a lot of foreigners experience problems when they have the medical check in their home country, mainly because the results are usually not presented in the way they are required to be in China, according to china-expats.com.
A good number of foreigners simply present a home country certificate, which is not enough. What they need to provide is a file with every single result of the required Chinese tests officially identified as belonging to themselves.
