Personal ten years of Shenzhen-Hong Kong healthcare To make further breakthroughs, and along with Hong Kong University Shenzhen Hospital rooted in Shenzhen, there are many medical backbones from Hong Kong University , and Du Qijun is one of them.
As a nationally well-known expert in the treatment of rare bone diseases, adhering to the original intention of "helping others is the foundation of happiness", Du Qijun came to Shenzhen to set up the first multidisciplinary treatment center for osteogenesis imperfecta in South China, serving thousands of patients across the country. porcelain doll ” and other rare bone diseases are treated to help patients regain their hope of standing and walking.
recalling the past ten years, Du Qijun said with emotion: "Ten years have really passed quickly, it seems that yesterday was the first day I went to the hospital, I saw that the hospital is very beautiful, there are many hospital beds, and many new things can be developed. service." In his view, coming to Shenzhen from Hong Kong is an important opportunity for his personal career.
In Shenzhen, he came into contact with many patients with rare bone diseases, presided over scientific research projects in the Mainland to obtain research funds, achieved cutting-edge research results in the clinical treatment and research of rare bone diseases, and treated many patients with rare bone diseases. He also insists on free clinics in remote areas of the country every year, and his footprints are all over the place. Not long ago, he led a team to a free clinic in Tibet to conduct skeletal examinations for local children, and brought some children from poor families back to Shenzhen for further treatment, which made him particularly happy.

In addition, with the help of research results and rich experience obtained in China, Du Qijun also went abroad to share cutting-edge results with the world. Before accepting an exclusive interview with a reporter from Direct News in Hong Kong, he had just finished his trip to the United Kingdom and shared with the international community the experience of treating osteogenesis imperfecta at the Shenzhen Hospital of the University of Hong Kong. He has learned a lot from peer exchanges, and what makes him happiest is that through his efforts, the next conference will come to Hong Kong, which will also be the first time this international conference will be held in Asia.

10 years, it is not only a decade for Du Qijun to take root in Shenzhen and realize his personal development, but also a decade for Shenzhen's medical level to advance by leaps and bounds, and a decade for the continuous deepening of medical cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong.
Du Qijun recalled that in terms of medical level, the Shenzhen he saw when he first arrived was indeed a big gap compared to Hong Kong. But in the past ten years, the city of Shenzhen has changed with each passing day, and the overall medical level has also improved rapidly.
"I see that it has been improving all the time. The development of Shenzhen as a whole is very fast. I can't think of any other city that can be as fast as it. Our dean described it, 'a day in Shenzhen is as long as someone else's a week'." Du Qijun said .
The "institutional guarantee" behind the medical integration in the Greater Bay Area
The rapid improvement of medical level must have a reasonable foundation for institutional construction, and a good system must be a system that leads the development of medical care. Du Qijun, who has worked in Hong Kong and Shenzhen for many years, is very familiar with the medical systems of both places. Du Qijun believes that the rapid improvement of the medical level of public hospitals in Shenzhen is inseparable from the various management systems and hospital assessment standards formulated by the state, which ensure that public hospitals can achieve high standards. He emphasized that the "third-grade hospital standard" used to assess the overall medical management level of mainland public hospitals is a typical example, and it is a good hospital assessment standard.
Talent is the core element of hospital development. In addition to the hospital assessment standards, the continuous deepening of the level of medical cooperation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong is also reflected in the institutional reform to ensure the cross-border connection of the medical talent evaluation mechanism between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and Du Qijun is the witness and beneficiary of this reform. By. On August 5, 2021, Du Qijun, as one of the 37 well-known Hong Kong doctors, obtained the certificate of senior professional title issued by Shenzhen Human Resources and Social Security Bureau , becoming the first Hong Kong doctor to obtain the title of "Zheng Gao" .
mentioned the role of the title of " Zheng Gao ", Du Qijun said that "Zheng Gao" is actually a high recognition of the medical standards of Hong Kong doctors, and it will play a very important role in encouraging and supporting their development in the Mainland, not only beneficial to them Integrating into the mainland's evaluation system will also help them apply for national scientific research projects and funds. "(Previously) the country did not have a standard for us, so after we have it, we can equate with some experts in the mainland on an equal footing." Du Qijun said.

Talent flows in both directions, under the framework of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area medical cooperation, not only the introduction of medical talents from Hong Kong to the Greater Bay Area The introduction of talents from the mainland to Hong Kong is also a general trend. During the fifth wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong, the outstanding achievements of the mainland medical team in Hong Kong fully proved the excellent qualifications of the mainland medical team. In order to promote the development of medical cooperation and integration in the Greater Bay Area, whether mainland doctors can successfully practice in Hong Kong has attracted much attention.
In fact, Hong Kong is facing a shortage of medical personnel, and the medical system is more strained than before. It is worth noting that the Hong Kong Hospital Authority has previously stated that it will promote the "Greater Bay Area Medical Talent Exchange Program", and recently announced that it plans to introduce 8 senior doctors from mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area to Hong Kong in the second half of the year, hoping to establish medical talents through the plan. Library, contributing to the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine and improving the services of the HA.
As a hospital administrator who is familiar with the medical systems of the two places, Du Qijun believes that the direction of this policy is very correct. "We have brought in some excellent mainland groups to take care of our Hong Kong patients, and they have achieved very good results." He said, "The people we will support our Hong Kong in the mainland must be the best teams, so I am absolutely sure about their medical level. Trust." However, given his own experience in Shenzhen, he believes that this policy also needs to take into account the various problems that mainland doctors may face when they go to Hong Kong.For example, in terms of life, language, salary, etc., but this policy will definitely develop in a "good direction".
In addition to the connection of the talent evaluation mechanism and the policy of talent exchange, in order to realize the integrated development of medical care in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, it is also necessary to promote the mechanism connection between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao to realize "pharmaceutical equipment cooperation", including the use of "Hong Kong medicine" in the mainland. Institutional recognition of "Hong Kong Machinery". In recent years, the "Hong Kong-Macao Pharmaceutical Machinery" policy adheres to the principle of "step-by-step implementation, pilot projects first", and gradually expands the scope of application. As of early August 2022, under the policy of "Hong Kong-Macao Pharmaceutical Machinery", the number of clinically urgently needed drugs and medical devices that have been approved for use in designated hospitals in the Greater Bay Area continues to increase.
mentioned "Hong Kong-Macao Pharmaceutical Machinery", and Du Qijun expressed his pride in being able to participate in related work. "I was the first doctor to apply for this 'Hong Kong-Macao Medicine Machine Link'. Our project is to use the remote-controlled growth sticks that we used in Hong Kong Queen Mary Hospital for ten years to treat some early-onset scoliosis diseases. Go to the Shenzhen Hospital of the University of Hong Kong.” According to him, the remote-controlled growth sticks introduced through the “Hong Kong-Macao Medicine Machine Link” can greatly reduce the number of operations for children with early-onset scoliosis, so that children can easily perform bone lengthening and correction. Surgery, greatly reducing the pain of the patient.
In his opinion, through the policy of "Hong Kong and Macau medicine and equipment", hospitals in mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area can introduce this type of medical equipment, which is not only conducive to the full utilization of medical resources and the further improvement of medical level, but also More patients can benefit from this. "Many diseases can benefit from this policy. I hope that some of the best resources, the best treatment methods, drugs, instruments, etc., can be introduced to the mainland through this policy." Du Qijun emphasized that this policy is not only for the purpose of The introduction of medical equipment is also a good supervision method, which can ensure the safety of the imported drugs or instruments during use, and ultimately benefit patients.
Du Qijun said that, in fact, children's hospitals in Hong Kong have established a multidisciplinary team treatment model, and they can greatly adopt some of the experiences they learned in Shenzhen in the past to come to Hong Kong. Looking forward to the future, he believes that the experience he has accumulated in Shenzhen over the past ten years will also be used to feed back Hong Kong society in the future.
"Hong Kong is always a small place, and the number of patients with rare bone diseases is not very large. If we bring new technologies and experiences learned in the past ten years to Hong Kong, we can definitely benefit our patients."
