On February 27, the first health service center for Hong Kong and Macao residents in Nansha District of Guangzhou was opened in Nansha Hospital District of Guangzhou First People's Hospital (hereinafter referred to as "Shiyi Nansha Hospital"). Guangdong residents can enjoy authentic Hong Kong-style medical services without leaving the country. Mr. Zheng, a Hong Kong resident, drank the "first meal of soup". Living in Panyu District, he drove 40 minutes to Nansha and spent 30 yuan to have an interview with Gong Jingle, a general practitioner from Hong Kong. Mr. Zheng made a calculation: the transportation cost to and from Hong Kong is close to 600 yuan per person, not including the accommodation cost. Now, he did not need to travel between the two places. He completed the diagnosis and treatment in only half a day. The registration fee and drug fee together were less than 100 yuan. Gong Jingle was in Shenzhen for the first time to practice in Nansha. He said that the medical advice in Nansha is slightly different from that in Hong Kong. Hong Kong uses English and Nansha uses Chinese when writing medical advice; In terms of drug use, we need to consider the differences between the two places, and also respect the drug use habits of patients. Jia Lin, president of the First Nansha Hospital of the city, said that at present two Hong Kong doctors with mainland practicing qualifications have been visiting the Hong Kong and Macao Health Service Center for a long time. The hospital also trained 10 Hong Kong-style gold general practitioners to provide Hong Kong-style general medical services for Hong Kong and Macao residents and mainland residents. At the same time, it will also provide residents with services such as in-hospital specialized diagnosis, Guangdong and Hong Kong expert outpatient service, hospital physical examination, inpatient surgery, cross-border referral, direct payment of insurance claims, etc. How to settle the cost of seeing "Hong Kong doctors"? Li Jiacong, co-chief executive of the Great Bay Medical Group and executive director of the United Medical Group, said that the detailed rules on the medical fees of Hong Kong general practitioners were not clear at present, but referring to Hong Kong standards, the one-time medical fees and drug fees were about 300-500 yuan, and residents who had purchased commercial insurance could settle directly. "In the center, you can see both Hong Kong doctors and famous doctors in the mainland." Jia Lin said that the hospital has set up a famous doctor studio in the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and has selected more than 10 municipal experts to visit Nansha to provide high-quality specialized medical services for Hong Kong, Macao and local residents. The medical fees support medical insurance settlement, and the drug prices and inspection fees are consistent with those of public hospitals. In June 2022, the pace of medical integration between Guangzhou and Hong Kong was gradually accelerated after the General Plan of Guangzhou Nansha to Deepen the Global Comprehensive Cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao was released. On February 22, the Guangdong Provincial Health and Health Commission announced the list of 14 designated medical institutions in the second batch of the "Hong Kong and Macao Drug and Instrument Link" in the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, including the city's Nansha Hospital. Jia Lin said that the policy has successfully opened the channel for innovative drugs and instruments to enter the mainland quickly. The next step of the hospital's efforts is to consider the introduction of commonly used drugs in Hong Kong and Macao to provide new possibilities for the people's various medical needs. The Guangzhou Municipal Health and Health Commission revealed that Nansha District is strengthening the communication between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao through the relevant provincial departments, actively cooperating with the Hong Kong SAR government to establish the "white list" system of medical institutions in Nansha District, and including the medical institutions on the list into the scope of use of "elderly medical vouchers".
