In recent years, China has been vigorously implementing the “One Belt, One Road” strategy, and our hospital has kept responding actively to this strategy. After setting up a medical assistance center in Manila several years ago, we have set up another medical assistance center in Cebu city this year, hoping to achieve further medical cooperation and promote global medical information sharing, so as to help more patients in different countries.

In order to help the delegation get a full understanding of our advanced minimally invasive therapy, a live surgery of interventional therapy was specially arranged in the morning, along with professional interpretation given by experienced doctor Mr. Zha Huangqi.

After the introduction, the delegation visited our hospital as well as cancer patients from the Philippines.

As the first China-Singapore Joint-Venture JCI cancer hospital, we have set up dozens of medical assistance center in several Southeast Asian countries and reached medical cooperation with them. Since our establishment, we’ve trying our best to strengthen medical communication and cooperation with different countries, hoping to promote the innovation and development of minimally invaisve cancer treatment to help more cancer patients all over the world.

*Surgery, in addition to the appropriate chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are effective in treating early cancer, but certain patients in late stage of cancer may not be tolerate surgery well as they can be relatively weak. A combination of carefully planned minimally invasive therapy, chemotherapy or radiotherapy can effectively reduce the side effects and discomfort of treatment and may help patient get better efficacy.
