Patient question
If a cardiomyopathy patient is outside the country, can they continue using their original hospital's online follow-up service?
Answer reviewed by Zhang Jinying, Chief Physician
Professional answer
First inform the original hospital of your current country or region, and confirm whether their online service accepts patients at that location, and whether they can provide needed consultations, prescriptions, or referrals. Also ask how examinations will be completed and who will follow up on results. Do not assume the original online appointment still applies outside the country; if the service cannot continue, ask the original team for a medical summary to help you contact qualified local healthcare providers.
