p~~pI told the doctor that a mother needs her daughter, a son needs his mother, and a husband needs his wife. For me, nothing is more important than life,p~~p Zhang Hui, Wup~ps husband, said.
Zhang is not alone in his thinking.
While money canp~pt buy health, it certainly gives people more choice of treatments. Seeing doctor abroad is becoming an alternative for those who can afford it, especially when they are told that the disease cannot be treated in China.
Yin Zhiliang is putting his last hope in a medical tourism provider in Beijing. His brother has been diagnosed with a rare blood disease. But the only treatment that works is available in the US. Without any knowledge of the American medical system, the family was unsure how to pick the right hospital and doctor.
p~~pIt has been more than six months since we knew the treatment was available in the US. We have asked friends there to help, searched on the Internet, but still couldnp~pt find the right hospital and the access,p~~p Yin said.
Noticing the need, this company is providing services of recommending hospitals, referring patients and preparing medical history paperwork.
p~~pWhat we do here is to bring together patients and foreign hospitals. Most of our clientsp~p concern is the result, but we can only guarantee to find the hospitals and doctors that suit them best,p~~p Lian Yaoguo, Chief Medical Officer of Beijing Saint Lucia Consulting PTY Ltd., said.
Medical tourism is in the early stage in China. Currently there is no official regulation for it, which might lead to legal, ethical or financial issues.
p~~pI hope that some industry association or government department can draw up conduct standards and code when more join this market. Companies should not mislead patients by false information, because it is about lives and a huge amount of money,p~~p James Cai, General Manager of Beijing Saint Lucia Consulting PTY Ltd., said.
Although medical tourism offers more choices and hopes, it canp~pt guarantee the result. And it is a big decision that patients and their families need to consider carefully.- 新闻来源于其它媒体，内容不代表本站立场！
