Why Choose to Seek Medical Treatment Abroad?
More New Drugs and Advanced Techniques
At a policy briefing held by the State Council of China on June 22, 2018, Jiao Hong, the director of the National Medical Products Administration of China, stated that over the past decade, 415 new drugs have been approved in the United States, the European Union, and Japan, while only 76 of these have been approved in China. This means that more than 80% of these new drugs are unavailable to patients in mainland China.
More Personalized Treatment Models
In developed countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, when treating patients with major diseases like cancer, a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach is used. Experts from various specialties, including internal medicine, surgery, pathology, radiology, anesthesiology, and plastic surgery, collaborate to serve a single patient and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Greater Access to Clinical Trials
For patients with advanced cancer who do not respond to traditional treatments, or those with complex diseases and rare conditions that lack existing treatment options, participating in clinical trials may represent their last hope.
More Patient-Centric Medical Experience
At authoritative hospitals abroad, the focus is entirely on the patient. The medical process operates on an appointment system, where doctors revolve around the patient's needs, eliminating the need for patients to shuttle between different departments and wait in lines.
