2021 Shenzhen Medical Tourism Exhibition helps promote cross-border medical construction in the Greater Bay Area
With the close ties between Hong Kong and Macao and the development of mainland cities, the in-depth cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao has been continuously strengthened. The demand for the coordinated and integrated development of medical and health care in the Bay Area has become increasingly prominent. A number of policies have been introduced intensively, laying a good foundation for the coordinated and integrated development of the Bay Area. :
CEPA's supplementary agreement broke the policy barriers for Hong Kong and Macao medical services to enter the mainland development. The CEPA "Service Trade Agreement" opened up specific restrictions on Hong Kong and Macao medical professionals to practice in the Mainland; "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Regulatory Innovation and Development Work Plan" Indicates that qualified medical institutions in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area can use drugs and medical devices that have been listed in Hong Kong and Macau in accordance with the regulations; "Shenzhen's Work Points for Promoting the Construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in 2021" proposed, and strive for national support for optimization Access to Hong Kong-funded and Australian-funded medical institutions; Strive to first use the international cutting-edge drugs and medical devices that are urgently needed for clinical use in Shenzhen designated medical institutions and have been registered in Hong Kong; "Measures to accelerate the promotion of cross-border connection of medical services" pointed out that Shenzhen should be highlighted Features, make full use of the legislative power of special economic zones, optimize the environment for Hong Kong and Macao to conduct medical practice in Shenzhen, and promote cross-border medical services.··
These policies have promoted in-depth cooperation between cities in the Greater Bay Area and Hong Kong and Macao in the medical field, and provided Hong Kong and Macao medical practitioners with a broader medical service market in the Mainland.
Why does the Bay Area need to propose "cross-border medical" coordinated and integrated development? First of all, the most fundamental reason is that residents in the Greater Bay Area have an urgent need for medical care.
It is reported that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has a resident population of 70 million and a gross regional product of more than 10 trillion yuan. Among them, 9 cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area account for 54.2% of the population of Guangdong Province and 83.3% of the GDP. However, regional medical resources are in a state of short supply:
According to statistics in 2017, the indicators of health technicians per 1,000 population (6.3) and the number of beds in medical and health institutions (4.41) in Guangdong are both lower than the national average (6.5 and 5.72), lagging behind Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Beijing. Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Hainan, etc., but the number of consultations (840 million) is much higher than these areas. This shows the shortage of medical resources, and the Bay Area gathers more than half of Guangdong's population, and the shortage of medical resources is even more obvious. Coupled with the large population of Hong Kong and Macao residents in the Greater Bay Area, there are strong calls for convenient medical treatment. The huge demand gap provides a market opportunity for Hong Kong and Macao medical services to open up the mainland medical market.
Secondly, relying on the medical standards of Hong Kong and Macau can promote and enhance the medical treatment in the Greater Bay Area. Hong Kong and Macao have advanced medical standards, especially in the fields of vaccines, genetic testing, physical examination, traditional Chinese medicine, stem cell research, etc., have made outstanding achievements, and Macao’s medical and health conditions and service levels have gradually improved, and Macao’s primary health care system has been The World Health Organization rated it as a "model in the Pacific." Utilizing the advanced medical management experience and technical service level of Hong Kong and Macao can provide a reference for the reform of the mechanism of medical care in the Bay Area and even hospitals across the country.
Shenzhen is the area where Hong Kong and Macao residents, especially Hong Kong residents, are most concentrated in the Greater Bay Area. The two places have maintained close exchanges and cooperation for a long time, their social and cultural habits are similar, high-net-worth groups are highly concentrated, and cross-border customs clearance is intensive. The SAR has intensively introduced a number of policies for
