This is round table.
Hello.
Welcome to Roundtable, where we serve up piping hot debates on the issues that sizzle in China and beyond.
I'm Neil Henglin.
Coming up, as China embraces the digital age, the introduction of the medical insurance code, or e baoma, marks a pivotal moment in healthcare's access.
This transformative tool has not only simplified the medical journey for over a billion people, but also signals a new era of convenience and efficiency in patient care.
And this move prompts us to explore further what other technological advancements are reshaping our healthcare experiences.
For todays show, Im joined by Xin Yu in the studio and Josh Cotterell on the line.
Now grab your virtual compass and follow us to the heart of the discussion.
In an era where digital solutions are at the forefront of innovation, Chinas medical Insurance Code stands out as a beacon of progress, serving over 1 billion users.
This digital transformation within hospitals and clinics across the nation invites us to delve deeper into the evolving dynamics of technology and healthcare, uncovering the myriad ways it's making healthcare more accessible and efficient.
But first, just in case not everyone who's listening is super familiar with the know how of seeking medical help here in China.
Xin Yu, can you first give us an overview?
Typically, say, if you're feeling a little bit under the weather and would like to go to the hospital, how would you proceed?
Okay, I think seeing a doctor in China has witnessed some kind of, a lot of changes actually over the past years.
And especially, I think in the past, seeing a doctor used to be a long journey.
It easily can take you a whole day.
And most of the time you're waiting in the hospital, especially in my memory, I feel like when you are visiting a hospital, it's usually packed with patients.
It's really crowded, and sometimes it's really hard to get all the procedures done.
