HCA link to China to expand market

By Douglas Shepherd

Consultants working at HCA Healthcare UK hospitals are being offered new private practice opportunities to see patients from China.

International patients based there now have access to oncology expertise and treatment by HCA UK under a partnership with Circle Harmony.

The deal enables Circle Harmony patients to have virtual consultations and get their case reviewed by HCA UK doctors via virtual multi­disciplinary team (MDT) meetings.

Patients from China will also come to the UK for treatment in the UK, where they can access medicines unavailable in their own country.
