The Yangtze River Delta cross-border medical integration cooperation mechanism has been officially launched. Medical record mutual recognition and examination result acceptance between cities in the region reduce duplicate examinations, bringing international patients a more coherent medical service experience.
Core content of the cooperation mechanism
The mechanism unifies standards for medical record mutual recognition and examination result acceptance among Yangtze River Delta cities. When patients visit hospitals in different cities in the region, they no longer need to repeat the same examinations. International patient service centers can coordinate expert resources across multiple cities in one stop, achieving seamless consultation and referral.
Significance for international patients
For complex diseases involving multiple specialties and centers, the integration mechanism allows patients to flexibly allocate medical resources between Shanghai and surrounding cities, reducing waiting and travel and improving treatment efficiency.
How to benefit
International patients with referral needs can communicate their conditions through remote consultation first, and professional teams plan cross-city treatment pathways after evaluation.
MedBridge services
MedBridge plans continuous treatment pathways for patients within its partner hospital network, assisting with cross-city consultation arrangements and follow-up coordination.
