Voices of tech entrepreneurs from the two sessions
7. Wang Xiaochuan, CEO of Chinese search engine Sogou Inc and a member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference
Key words: healthcare reform, digital family doctor
For Wang, medical care reform is the top priority for people's livelihoods. China began its latest round of healthcare reform in 2009, with a core objective of offering healthcare services to all people. The government's achievements on expanding healthcare reform have been remarkable. However, people still face difficulty and high medical costs when seeing a doctor.
Wang said healthcare reform could be combined with the internet, connecting patients and high quality medical resources and enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of medical services.
He called for a new medical treatment partnership that includes top-tier hospitals, primary-level medical and healthcare institutions and virtual family doctors based on digital technology. Wang said he hoped that each family will have its own digital family doctor in next 5-10 years.
