Guangdong: Hong Kong doctors can open wholly-owned clinics in Guangdong to promote medical reform.

2009-02-03 14:57 "Hong Kong doctors can set up wholly-owned clinics in Guangdong" is regarded as a highlight of Supplement V to CEPA, that is, China citizens who are eligible permanent residents of Hong Kong can apply for the mainland's "Medical Qualification Certificate" through accreditation to set up wholly-owned clinics in Guangdong.

Liao Xinbo, deputy director of the Provincial Health Department, said that Hong Kong and Macao service providers must first obtain the Mainland's Qualification Certificate for Doctors (Clinical, Oral and Traditional Chinese Medicine) and have the legal right to practice in Hong Kong or Macao. Having obtained the qualification of a medical practitioner in Hong Kong and Macao, or having practiced in both places for a total of five years; Or engaged in the same professional clinical work in the mainland for more than 5 consecutive years.

The total investment of Hong Kong-funded medical institutions is not limited.

In the past, when Hong Kong-funded medical institutions were established in the Mainland, Hong Kong's investment could not exceed 70% of the total investment, and the total investment of Hong Kong-funded medical institutions was also limited. At present, Hong Kong service providers can not only set up clinics in Guangdong in the form of sole proprietorship, but also have no requirement for total investment.

"In fact, it is equivalent to allowing Hong Kong doctors to open clinics in the Mainland to enjoy national treatment." Liao Xinbo said.

According to the regulations, service providers in Hong Kong and Macao who provide services in the form of natural persons should be the heads of outpatient departments. 1 Hong Kong or Macao service providers can only apply for establishing 1 outpatient departments in Guangdong Province.

In this regard, Liao Xinbo explained that every region has health plans of medical institutions. Although the investment quota has been relaxed in legal procedures, in fact, it is impossible for Hong Kong investors to set up hospitals in Guangdong without investing a considerable amount of money, so there is no need to worry about not imposing investment restrictions.

As for the number of outpatient clinics opened by Hong Kong people after liberalization, will it soar in the short term? Liao Xinbo believes that this issue should be regulated by the market. "The attitude of the Provincial Health Department is to approve as long as it meets the conditions. The market improves and promotes the level of the industry through competition. Large hospitals in Guangdong are overcrowded, and patients in small hospitals are not at ease. Medical clinics in Hong Kong can come in to provide services and their technology can be recognized. "

Medical accidents in Hong Kong shall be handled according to mainland regulations.

At the symposium of Hong Kong doctors' delegation held in Huizhou in early September this year, the Hong Kong industry expressed strong interest in investing in medical service institutions in Guangdong, but also expressed some concerns.

Liao Xinbo said that because of the different drug management systems in Chinese mainland and Hong Kong, doctors in Hong Kong first have a familiar process when prescribing drugs.

"For example, some drugs have the same chemical names but different trade names, or some drugs from Chinese mainland may not be available in Hong Kong and some drugs from Hong Kong may not be available in Chinese mainland. Doctors in Hong Kong must prescribe according to mainland regulations. "

Then, if Hong Kong doctors practice in the Mainland, how should medical disputes be decided?

According to the latest regulations, the clinics that Hong Kong and Macao service providers apply to run should abide by the relevant laws, regulations and provisions of medical institutions, medical technology management, practicing doctors and nurse trainees in the Mainland, and medical accidents and disputes that occur in the course of medical activities should be handled in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Mainland.

"When it comes to medical disputes, I'm not worried. Doctors in Hong Kong have a strong legal concept. In contrast, some hospitals in the mainland have a low reputation. Hong Kong medical service investors entering the Mainland can play a model role in this regard and greatly promote the standardization and legalization of private clinics in the Mainland. " Liao Xinbo said.

The next step is to try to "open" the hospital.

Liao Xinbo said that clinics run by doctors in Hong Kong can be divided into general practice and specialty practice. Among them, the mainland has a greater market demand for Hong Kong specialist clinics to treat intractable diseases.

"In terms of medical technology, there is actually little difference between Hong Kong doctors and experts from major hospitals in the Mainland. The problem is that our medical resources are not enough. Hong Kong resources can help. For example, I think it takes a long time for mainland experts to make appointments, while experts in Hong Kong can provide services immediately, but the fees are higher than those in government hospitals. This is actually the direction of our medical reform. What should public hospitals do and what should not be done, and the rest should be handed over to the society. "

Liao Xinbo believes that Guangdong's "try first" can certainly provide valuable reference experience for future medical reform, and even promote the further development of medical reform.

He suggested that after the outpatient service was "liberalized", the next step could be to try to "liberalize" the opening of the hospital. "Now the right to open a hospital is still in Beijing. If it can be decentralized to Guangdong Province, it will be another progress. After all, domestic people are inexperienced in running private hospitals, don't know what to do, and always compete with government hospitals for food. However, overseas hospitals are based on brand creation, providing high-quality service technology and high fees, which can provide a demonstration for the mainland. "

Social welfare work

Hong Kong people enjoy the same preferential treatment in Guangdong Welfare Institute.

"At present, there are 5.4 million disabled people in Guangdong, and there are less than 10 private welfare institutions for disabled people. There are only 264 welfare institutions of various ownership in our province, and 3 1570 people are adopted. " Luo, deputy director of the Provincial Civil Affairs Department, said that CEPA Supplementary Agreement V on opening up services for the disabled and allowing Hong Kong service providers to set up welfare institutions for the disabled in the form of wholly-owned private non-enterprise units in Guangdong Province will provide strong support and help for enthusiastic people from all walks of life in Hong Kong to participate in the cause of the disabled in Guangdong and Hong Kong.

It is understood that welfare institutions for the disabled set up by Hong Kong service providers in Guangdong can enjoy the same preferential policies as other social welfare institutions in Guangdong Province. For example, non-profit private social welfare institutions may apply for reduction or exemption of land acquisition management fees in accordance with relevant regulations when applying for land use approval; Water, electricity and gas are charged according to the living price of residents; Private social welfare institutions applying for the establishment of medical rehabilitation service institutions shall be examined and approved by the health department in accordance with the relevant provisions of regional health planning and management of medical institutions.

Construction planning

Guangdong construction planning can introduce Hong Kong planners.

According to the fifth supplementary agreement of CEPA, Hong Kong planning supervision professionals are allowed to engage in the construction industry in our province. "This means that with Guangdong as the base and bridge, Hong Kong's planning and construction talents can become familiar with the management norms and technical requirements of urban and rural planning and construction in the Mainland as soon as possible, laying the foundation for expanding registered practice in the Mainland in the future." Li Xinjian, deputy inspector of the Provincial Construction Department, said.

It is understood that in order to encourage mutual recognition of professional qualifications, Guangdong and Hong Kong have organized a number of mutual recognition examinations for builders' qualifications, including 3 batches of registered urban planners, and 37 Hong Kong planners have obtained the qualifications of registered urban planners in the Mainland; A group of supervision engineers, * * * 228 Hong Kong building surveyors have obtained the qualification of supervision engineers in the Mainland.

Li Xinjian said that by introducing Hong Kong urban construction professionals, it can also bring international advanced ideas, experiences and practices in urban planning, construction and project supervision, and improve the planning and design level and project quality management level of urban and rural construction in our province.

Zhong revealed that the next step will be to relax the restrictions on investment entities of Hong Kong-funded enterprises and simplify the registration procedures. If a Hong Kong investor is a natural person, he/she may submit a copy of the identity certificate and valid entry visa issued by a domestic institution, without the need to submit notarization and authentication documents.

"In fact, the content has not changed, but it was reported to the Ministry of Education for approval. Now decentralized to Guangdong, the approval process is simplified and the time is shortened. " Tan Zezhong said.
