My Parents came to USE the Hospital in China! (UK don't have this)

Oh my goodness, [music] just take a look

at this hospital.

It is incredible. [music] It looks like

a luxury five-star hotel. Can you

believe that this this is a hospital?

I want to start with a real story. A

while ago, my dad went for what was

supposed to be just a routine check on

his lungs in the UK. But, during that

check, the nurse spotted something

unexpected, an ascending aortic aneurysm

near his heart. A month later, they

booked him in for an ultrasound to check

it further and confirm it in September

20 24.

And obviously, hearing something like

that is enough to make anyone worry.

But, my old pops wasn't able to speak

with a doctor about it until March 2025,

6 months later. Can you believe that?

Even then, he couldn't even get a

physical appointment with a doctor.

It was a telephone appointment after 6

months

of waiting. After that, he wanted to get

a proper CT scan done through the NHS

just to find out exactly what is going

on. But, the waiting time just for the

CT scan was another 5 months. Just for a

scan, 5 months. Now, luckily, a few

months into that wait, my parents

already had a trip planned to come and

visit me here in China. And while they

were here, they told me the whole story.

And I said,

"Wait, hold on just a minute now.

China don't mess about with 6-month

waiting times. Let's pop into a hospital

while you're here." So, we went to the

hospital in Guizhou, where I live. And

you are not going to believe this, but

in just one day, yes, one day, we turned

up, got my dad registered, booked the

scan, did the CT scan, got the results

back, and sat down with a doctor to talk

through everything properly. In fact, we

even had enough time left over to check

his kidneys as well, all in one

day. And thankfully, the results showed

the aneurysm wasn't growing at a

dangerous rate, which of course was a

huge relief. And we went on and enjoyed

our lovely trip around [music] China.

But, what really stayed with me was

this. That happened in Guizhou, [music]

one of China's

poorer provinces. And even there, the

speed, efficiency, and [music] access

completely

blew me away.

So, if that was the experience in one of

the less developed parts of China, then

what does a top-level smart hospital in

Shanghai look like? Because now, I'm

here in Shanghai, one of China's most

advanced regions, to visit Renji

Hospital, a place that feels less like a

traditional hospital and more like a

glimpse into where healthcare is heading

in the future. And honestly, this is

exactly the kind of thing most people in

the West never get to see. When people

talk about China, they usually talk

about high-speed rail, electric cars,

robots, drones, or futuristic skylines.

But, what they often miss is that same

speed [music] of innovation is now

showing up in healthcare. I mean,

just take a look at this. It looks like

a luxury five-star hotel. Can you

believe that this this is a hospital?

And look at this, I found this quite

fascinating in the IVF department. They

can actually show you video footage of

the exact moment of conception and the

growth of the embryo. [music] You can

see your little baby growing from day

one. And you can even watch it on an app

if you can't come into the hospital. You

can watch it on your phone. Right, we're

now in the operation department. And

here at Renji Hospital, they've been

using Mindray's [music]

products and smart medical solutions as

part of its system, helping build the

kind of healthcare environment that

feels far more connected, far more

modern, and far more intelligent than

what many people

might expect. And that's what makes this

interesting, because for a lot of people

outside of China, there's still this

outdated assumption that innovation in

medicine must come from somewhere else.

But, when you look at what's happening

here, you start to realize China isn't

just [music] catching up. In many areas,

it's already setting the pace. I did

some digging and I found out that

Mindray is actually the only global

medtech giant headquartered [music]

in China. And just take a look at this

here. Mindray is even using VR here to

help train doctors in a much more

immersive way. But, it goes beyond that.

Doctors can use it for remote

diagnostics and to review real-time data

in a much more visual, interactive way.

So, rather than just learning from

textbooks or looking at a screen, they

can practice realistic scenarios,

analyze live information more clearly,

and even collaborate across distances.

Welcome to the future, guys. Right now,

we're in the ICU. And obviously, to

protect people's privacy, I'm not going

to show anyone here. But, what I want to

show you is their Chi ENN LLM, which is

quite fascinating. Usually, doctors

would spend half an hour on one complex

medical record. But, this AI assistant

nails it in just 1 minute. That's 30

times faster. Plus, with 24/7 monitoring

and 5-second clinical suggestions, it's

basically the doctor's ultimate

co-pilot. It's also used in the

operating room to help monitor

anesthesia, analyzing patient data in

real-time, and giving doctors smarter

support during surgery.

At the end of the day, it's about giving

time back to the doctors so they can

focus on

what matters.

And today, Renji Hospital is actually

hosting a conference

right now. The people attending this

conference are hospital directors and

medical leaders from different

countries, all

coming here to Renji Hospital to see

how this kind of advanced technology is

being used in the real world.

>> [music]

>> And I think that says a lot, because

they're not here for theory, they're

here to learn, to observe, and to take

ideas back home that could help improve

their own hospitals, their own systems,

and ultimately, patient care in their

own countries. And when you see that

happening here in Shanghai, it really

makes you realize [music] that China is

no longer just part of the global

conversation on healthcare innovation.

In many [music] ways, it's becoming one

of the places helping lead it.

Seeing so many foreigners here today

actually coming here for treatment

really says a lot. And honestly, after

what happened with my dad, I can

completely understand why. When

>> [music]

>> people can come here, get seen quickly,

get proper answers, and access this

[music]

kind of advanced care, it's easy to see

why China is becoming more and more

attractive for international patients.

This isn't just a futuristic hospital to

the world because they trust

what's here.

Okay, anyway, that is the end of this

video. I will see you guys at the next

location. Who knows where it's going to

be. See you in the next one. Signing

off.
