中国医疗服务吸引力与现实
近期,一名26岁的英国人因皮肤病前往中国接受治疗,并在社交媒体上引发广泛关注。他原本在国内可能需要等待数月才能获得治疗,但在中国,仅用13天就解决了问题,花费约300英镑。类似视频和帖子的频繁出现,使得外国人赴华就医成为一个热门话题。
新华社援引北京协和医院国际医疗部门主任的说法,指出与往年相比,医院国际部外国患者数量有所增加,尤其是在2024年之后。南方医科大学国际医疗中心负责人也透露,尽管医院外国患者总体数量相对较少,但增长迅速,主要来自俄罗斯、新加坡、美国、印度尼西亚、马来西亚和南非。
然而,E-gu Global的一项调查发现,大多数来华寻求医疗的国际患者是在中国工作的人群,而专门为医疗目的来华的国际患者数量仍然非常少。E-gu Global援引一家跨境医疗旅游机构的董事长Shame Newo的观点,认为社交媒体上关于大量外国人涌入中国接受治疗的说法可能是一种误解。他认为这是一个增长趋势,但实际规模仍然很小,估计2025年专门为医疗目的来华的外国患者可能不到一万人。
《2024中国国际医疗服务行业发展报告》显示,中国大陆57个城市的850家医疗机构提供国际医疗服务。业内人士认为,中国的医疗服务在某些领域具有独特优势,吸引着国际患者前来就医。国家卫生健康委员会医政医管局的一位官员指出,中国在一些专科领域拥有丰富的临床经验,并且质子治疗(Proton Therapy)和细胞治疗(Cell Therapy)等先进治疗技术也比发达国家更便宜。此外,随着传统中医(Traditional Chinese Medicine)的国际认可度不断提高,针灸、推拿以及一些特色中医药受到外国患者的欢迎,他们常常利用中国的免签政策,在旅行的同时接受中医治疗。
中国是跨境医疗服务的主要输出国,每年有10万人出国寻求医疗服务,使其成为全球医疗消费的重要来源国。相比之下,中国的医疗旅游规模与其他国家相比仍然相对较小。国际医疗旅游市场主要有两个方向:一是发展中国家的高净值人群寻求发达国家更高的医疗标准;二是发达国家的中低收入人群寻求亚洲国家更低价格的医疗服务。
业内人士建议,中国可以专注于第二类市场。关于日益增多的外国人来华就医是否会占用国内医疗资源的问题,E-gu China News的一位记者了解到,这些患者通常通过国际医疗部门就诊,并且其费用支付方式(如使用特定保险或自费)不会占用基本医疗服务资源。自去年以来,多家公立医院的国际部投入运营,成为深化公立医院改革、满足多层次多元化医疗资金需求的一项创新。

近期,关于**舒阳(Shuyang)**市向两名印度和非洲籍的硕士颁发专家补贴的事件引发关注。每位专家收到了一千元人民币的慰问金。针对公众的疑问,舒阳市科学技术局回应称,他们确实发放了相关资金,但外国专家的认证以及资金来源均由市科技局处理,他们仅是执行方,具体政策尚未公布。
此事件可能与舒阳市优化创新创业环境、吸引海外人才的政策有关。去年,该市出台了八项措施,旨在改善外国人的创新创业环境,吸引更多外国人前来发展,并推出各类引进人才的措施。从相关新闻报道中可以看出,这两位印度和非洲籍硕士被归类为**科技部(Ministry of Science and Technology)**文件中的“A类人才”。A类人才指的是符合在华工作相关要求及岗位需求,对中国经济社会发展所需的外国专业人才。
舒阳市正致力于成为世界级的食品之都,这或许是给予这两位外国硕士优惠政策的原因之一。此外,这1000元并非研究经费,而是为外国专家在春节等重大节日期间提供的慰问专项资金。这一事件也不禁让人联想到此前发生的山东大学奖学金事件。对于管理者而言,或许只要程序合规,资金的接收者是谁并不重要。
