Hospital Director Wang Huaizhong

The director of the Hospital, Mr. Wang Huaizhong stated that our hospital primarily focuses on treating patients with mid- to late-stage cancers. We adopt the treatment concept of enhancing their quality of life and extending their survival for these patients. Maximize the benefits of treatment for the patient based on the patient's situation and following medical ethics.

President Lin Zhicheng

President Lin Zhicheng introduced our hospital to Consul General Mr. Vu Viet Anh. As the Group Member Unit of the China Anti-Cancer Association (CACA), St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou stays up-to-date with cutting-edge treatment technologies by participating in the association's annual meetings and collaborating with medical peers. In July 2021, the hospital was one of the first medical institutions in mainland China to be authorized to procure medicines and medical instruments from Hong Kong and Macao that had not yet been approved in the mainland. This enables us to utilize imported drugs and equipment, including specially imported drugs available in Hong Kong but not in the mainland, to enhance our services for cancer patients. These represent the treatment advantages of our hospital. Additionally, we have partnered with the China Anti-Cancer Association (CACA) to establish standardized cancer treatment guidelines, leveraging the Belt and Road Holistic and Integrative Oncology Training Base of CACA, to disseminate these guidelines internationally, particularly in Southeast Asian countries. President Lin expressed our ongoing commitment to collaborating with Vietnamese medical professionals, promoting the exchange of medical knowledge to advance the industry, and ultimately benefit patients.

In the end, the hospital leaders presented hospital souvenirs to Mr. Wu Yueying and his delegation, and both groups took a group photo.

*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.
