According to the internal rough statistics of Mih Medical, most of our patients are ordinary people living in remote cities, whether they call for consultation or find our patients through the network platform.
When it comes to examination or surgery, they prefer to do it in the provincial capital "at home" than in Beijing thousands of miles away. I sorted out their reasons and classified them into the following two points:
First, distance.
For a large number of people, especially the elderly, the county seat has been the farthest place they have ever visited, let alone Beijing, thousands of miles away. The fear of "being unfamiliar with the place of life" even defeated their determination to restore their eyesight.
Second, costs.
Among these patients, there are many well-to-do families, but most of them are ordinary families. They should be careful in everything. A thousand yuan air ticket is not a small expense; What's more, in their minds, the medical expenses in Beijing are "sky-high" that ordinary people can't imagine. So many people flinched when they heard of the operation in Beijing.
But have you ever thought about these difficulties of Mingming patients? Why do you still recommend to come to Beijing for surgery?
High quality and concentration of medical resources
One obvious data is the number of hospitals. According to the latest data, there are more than 10000 medical and health institutions in Beijing, and 118 of them are tertiary hospitals. What is this concept? There are about 1600 counties in China, and most of them have not even a third-class hospital.
The medical resources of Mich artificial cornea transplantation in Beijing are also of high quality. There are two hospitals in Beijing that first started the operation of Mih artificial cornea transplantation: the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army and Beijing Tongren Hospital. In 2014, Mich Medical signed a clinical agreement with these two hospitals to conduct clinical trials. It can be said that these two hospitals have congenital advantages in the technology of Mich artificial cornea transplantation.
At the same time, the comprehensive level of ophthalmology in these two hospitals is among the best in the country.
The General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army is the base of the Asia-Pacific Artificial Cornea Society and the artificial cornea training center. As an important force in the medical service aircraft carrier formation of the PLA General Hospital after transformation and reconstruction, the Department of Ophthalmology has been committed to overcoming medical problems and climbing the medical peak. The Department of Ophthalmology has formed five advantageous sub-specialties, and the level of diagnosis, treatment and scientific research is leading in China. Among them, the innovative technology of the keratology team in artificial cornea and other aspects has become the standard in this field.
Beijing Tongren Hospital, affiliated to Capital Medical University, was founded in 1886. It is a large comprehensive tertiary hospital with ophthalmology and otolaryngology as national key disciplines, and is famous for ophthalmology. The specialty of corneal disease in the hospital was established in 1991. After more than 20 years of development, machinery, equipment and personnel technology have become very mature.
Doctors have high quality and ability
Professor Huang Yifei and Professor Wang Lijiang from the Department of Ophthalmology of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army have explored and developed artificial cornea restoration technology since 2000, which has enabled hundreds of people to regain light.
Professor Pan Zhiqiang of Tongren Hospital has been engaged in clinical work of ophthalmology for more than 30 years, and specializes in corneal transplantation, dry eye, ocular surface wound repair, infectious and immune corneal conjunctival disease treatment; Professor Jie Ying is good at the diagnosis and treatment of various complex keratoconjunctival diseases, and has completed more than 1000 keratoplasty operations,
In addition, because of the originally accumulated advantages, such as the preferential introduction of new equipment, new drugs and new treatment methods, and frequent contact with difficult and complicated diseases, doctors have a large business volume, and will have a more objective understanding of different situations.
Low cost of diagnosis and treatment
In addition to the extra costs of transportation and accommodation, the real cost of seeing a doctor in Beijing is really low, which has many reasons. Personally, I think the biggest reason is that there is no shortage of money. Doctors have high incomes and hospitals are not short of money.
For example, in many provincial capitals or second-tier and third-tier cities, if you want to really find some experts who can solve the problem, you can either find someone or spend a lot of money. But in Beijing, experts at the same level, even drug dealers dare not sell at too high prices.
Although coming to Beijing is a particularly hard task in terms of distance, we still need to overcome our fear and break through ourselves in order to see the world in the future and for the safety of our family. I hope all of you can realize your dream and restore your vision as soon as possible!
