"The Internet is like a treasure bag for a jingle cat, and the Internet hospital makes making an appointment with a doctor as simple as online shopping, without queuing up." Liu Xintong, chairman of the Hong Kong Doctors Association in the Greater Bay Area and founder of Guangzhou Nansha Shunxing Internet Hospital, said.

Nansha Shun Hing Internet Hospital will be based in Hong Kong and integrated into the national healthcare systemAt the same time, relying on Hong Kong's advantages as the first Asian region for many scientific research pharmaceutical companies' innovative drugs, the hospital hopes to promote mainland patients to obtain global original new drugs through inspection and compliance without leaving home**.
The Internet hospital is not only a medical service appointment system, but also a very life-oriented medical knowledge repository. Liu Xintong said that from both the social and commercial perspectives, Internet hospitals have great potential. He hoped that the platform would become a science-based medical knowledge dissemination platform for the public to learn about Hong Kong and international news 24 hours a day, so as to make it accessible to the public.
Recently, under the collaborative promotion of the Nansha District Health Bureau and the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the Development Zone, Guangzhou Nansha Shunxing Internet Hospital has successfully obtained a medical license, providing reference experience for the innovative technology of the medical industry in Guangdong and Hong Kong and the convergence of medical industry rules.
Cutting-edge policies attract the settlement of Nansha
Talking about why he chose Nansha, Liu Xintong said that in the past few months, he has frequently brought Hong Kong doctors to Nansha for field visits, so that they can understand the development of life science and technology in Nansha. "Nansha has a relatively cutting-edge policy to provide suitable physical centers to cooperate with Hong Kong doctors, and Hong Kong itself has the facilities of an Internet diagnosis and treatment center, and it is a rare opportunity to integrate with the facilities in the mainland and integrate them into the national Internet system, so that the two places can be connected. Liu Xintong said.
In April 2023, Liu Xintong led the team to settle in the Nansha Life Science Park of Guangdong Medical Valley, and the Hong Kong-style Internet hospital, Guangzhou Nansha Xinxing Internet Hospital, officially settled in Guangdong Medical Valley. Hong Kong's high-quality medical services have been introduced to the Mainland, and the exchange of innovative technologies and resources in the medical industry between Guangdong and Hong Kong has been jointly facilitated. The reporter learned that Guangzhou Nansha Shunxing Internet Hospital is the first Internet hospital in the country founded by doctors from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in the mainland, covering a number of specialties. It is believed that in the near future, users will log in to the "Bay Area Pass" and "Hong Kong Medical Pass" apps to see a doctor as simple as online shopping.
Patients can get a Hong Kong-registered prescription drug within 48 hours at the earliest
After the consultation, patients can get the medicine within 48 hours at the earliest, and they can buy prescription drugs registered in Hong Kong.

"If the patient has been diagnosed in the mainland and wants to know the opinions of Hong Kong doctors, they can also choose their favorite doctor on the 'Hong Kong Medical Connect' app. Cai Guojun added.
