With more than 30 years of medical practice, Yu Shuyong specializes in minimally invasive laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery and is experienced in minimally invasive surgical oncology treatment, and is the first to carry out ultra-minimally invasive thermal ablation of thyroid tumors in Hainan Province.
"With every advance in medical technology, it is the patient who ultimately benefits.” Yu Shuyong was a former military doctor in the PLA 187th Hospital. After retiring from the military in 2017, he refused the invitation of a famous hospital in Guangdong Province and chose to stay in Hainan Province to fulfill his expertise for Hainan tumor diagnosis and treatment.
In order to study new technologies, Yu Shuyong never stops learning, even though he is already a well-known expert. After finishing his daily surgery, he would stay firmly in front of the computer to observe the classical surgical techniques at home and abroad, and for some new techniques, he even used the simulation teaching tool to practice over and over again like a young doctor just starting out. Sometimes, he also watches his surgical videos repeatedly to see what can be enhanced and improved.
In recent years, with the promotion of the construction of Hainans free trade port, medical and health services in Hainan Province has been developed significantly. Yu Shuyong was deeply touched by this development, medicines and medical devices urgently needed in clinic was introduced in accordance with Boao Lecheng early zone "licensing policy", so that domestic patients can use new foreign drugs together with global patients. Among them, many pre-drug evaluation, in-drug monitoring and post-drug service are all implemented by the expert team of Hainan Cancer Hospital.
Riding on the east wind of the construction of the free trade port, Hainan Chengmei Hospital was officially opened on March 25. The hospital is one of the dual key construction projects of Hainan Province and Haikou City and the fourth batch of focused construction projects in the Hainan Free Trade Pilot Zone.
"We should benchmark the international medical service market and build the hospital into a model and window unit for international medical services under the background of the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port.” Yu Shuyong, Executive Vice President of the hospital, said that Hainan Chengmei Hospital was constructed in correspondence with international “3H” medical service model with “specialized medical technology, hotel standard service and home environment”, and also a geriatric hospital in free trade port of Hainan Province that meets the international modern hospital operation mode.
"In the future, we are a team that sees one patient one time and offers a personalized treatment plan after a consultation of a team of experts.” Yu Shuyong said, the hospital will gradually establish international and domestic cooperation mechanisms and use the telemedicine consultation system to let patients choose the medical services of domestic and foreign high-quality experts in an “ordering-style” and “customized” manner. At the same time, we can also be "private doctors" for patients, establish a full health file for patients, and provide high-quality medical and health management services for patients.
