The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is one of the most economically vibrant regions in China, but with population growth, there is still a gap in medical resources. According to statistics compiled by Southern Daily reporters, the Greater Bay Area added more than 440,000 permanent residents in 2024. Not only has the natural birth rate risen, but people from other parts of the country and the province have also continued to flock to the area, putting the medical system's capacity to the test.
Meanwhile, the economic prosperity and cultural progress of the Greater Bay Area in recent years have also led to higher expectations for medical services among more people. In the past, due to the scarcity of medical resources, many healthcare workers lacked patience when communicating with patients, and some even exhibited cold attitudes and rigid responses, significantly impairing the patient experience. Additionally, the shortage of medical resources has led to overcrowded hospitals, with crowded and noisy waiting areas, lengthy processes, and patients being passed between departments, resulting in a poor healthcare experience and leaving some patients deeply disappointed with hospitals.
In response to market demand for high-quality medical services, Qianhai Life Insurance Guangzhou General Hospital has established a high-quality comprehensive medical service platform that meets international standards—Qianhai Yihe International Medical Center. It integrates a strong team of experts within the hospital and more than 100 specially appointed experts from various departments outside the hospital to provide patients with high-quality medical and health services throughout their entire life cycle.
Yihe International Medical Center is named after the philosophy of “compassionate care and harmonious well-being,” with a service philosophy of “a warm and high-quality medical experience.” Its mission is to provide “high-quality medical care and warm service,” aiming to offer patients “four high-quality” medical services: high-level experts, high-quality medical care, high-quality service, and high cost-effectiveness. Currently, Yihe International Medical Center covers an area of 120,000 square meters, including outpatient services, specialized health checkups, and over 600 high-end patient rooms. It not only provides exceptional medical services but also strives to create a one-stop health and wellness experience.
Yihe International Medical Center. boasts a team of leading experts in China. As of June 2024, 77.7% of its doctors have experience working in top-tier public hospitals, 46 are academic leaders, 13 are doctoral advisors, and one enjoys a special allowance from the State Council. Among them, Professor Wang Jianping, the hospital director, has over 40 years of experience in general surgery clinical diagnosis and treatment. He is a leading figure in the development of colorectal and anal surgery in China. The team's clinical research project won the Second Prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award in 2016.
President Wang Jianping has high hopes for Yihe International Medical Center: “I hope to combine professionalism, quality, cutting-edge technology, and internationalization, and use our ‘heart’ to promote the development of Qianhai Yihe's unique high-quality medical system, comprehensively improving the patient experience.”
