New Options for International Patients
The newly established International Medical Department at Shenzhen People's Hospital integrates domestic and international high-quality medical resources, offering a one-stop international health management service that includes outpatient care, inpatient services, and exclusive examinations. The department's environment is elegant, with each ward equipped with private bathrooms, sofas, wardrobes, and desks, aligning with the habits of international patients.
The hospital has a history of over 40 years in international medical services, having established a special ward for Hong Kong, Macao, and overseas Chinese as early as 1984. This legacy continues with the new department, which aims to provide high-quality, warm medical care for international friends and Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan compatriots living and working in Shenzhen.
Leveraging Top-Notch Expertise
Shenzhen People's Hospital boasts six national key clinical specialties and 18 provincial key clinical specialties, forming a solid disciplinary foundation. Through Shenzhen's 'Three Famous Projects,' the hospital has introduced 46 top medical teams, including those led by academicians Zhong Nanshan and Dong Jiahong, enabling patients to access national and world-class medical services locally.
The hospital actively engages in international collaborations, such as inviting renowned thoracic surgeon Diego Gonzalez Rivas, known as the 'father of uniportal VATS,' to perform surgeries. This high-level exchange underscores the hospital's commitment to aligning with international standards.
Supporting Global Events and Regional Integration
The establishment of the International Medical Department is part of Shenzhen's efforts to improve its business environment and build a globally influential medical health hub. It also aims to provide solid medical support for international high-level conferences, such as APEC, to be held in Shenzhen.
The department's launch is a key measure for the hospital to implement the 'Healthy China' strategy and serve the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, meeting the growing demand for international healthcare services in the city.
