The Critical Choice
After the Fall
Walking steadily with his walker in the ward, Mr. Leung smiles with renewed energy. Yet just weeks ago, a devastating fall left him with severe hip injuries and sleepless nights from constant pain. Facing the inevitable need for surgery, he confronted a crucial question: Where should he have the operation?
"What matters most isn't whether I'm treated in Hong Kong or elsewhere - it's the quality of postoperative care," Mr. Leung pointed out. After learning about the precision level of robotic-assisted surgery and the comprehensive recovery program in Foshan, he made his decision. "For my long-term health, I might as well go to Foshan for the surgery!"
A New Hip
from the Intelligent Joint Robot
With high hopes, Mr. Leung arrived at Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital for his procedure. In the sterile glow of surgical lights, surgeons performed the technologically advanced operation using the hospital's intelligent joint robotic system. The AI-assisted platform guided the placement of his customized hip prosthesis with sub-millimeter precision, making real-time adjustments throughout the procedure. The surgery was completed efficiently with minimal tissue trauma and significantly reduced blood loss.

"The hospital can definitely rival the top in Hong Kong. Its surgical precision is even better!" Mr. Leung remarked after the surgery. The robotic navigation system achieved sub-millimeter accuracy during prosthesis placement, maintaining angular deviations below 1°. This precision directly correlated with optimal joint function restoration and enhanced implant longevity.
The High-quality Rehabilitation Services
Beyond Expectations
Mr. Leung was tremendously touched by the exceptional services provided by Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital during his rehabilitation here. "The post-operative care seems secondary, but in fact, very essential," he emphasized. What impressed him most was the round-the-clock care he received after surgery. "Day or night, the moment I pressed the call button, medical staff would appear at my bedside—no matter how often I needed assistance. I'm quite sorry that I had to call for help at night. After all, they've already worked really hard during the daytime," Mr. Leung recalled. "Yet they responded every time with unwavering patience. This level of attentive care... It's something I never experienced in Hong Kong hospitals. Truly touching."

Beyond the outstanding medical care, the hospital environment itself was a wonderful surprise to Mr. Leung, too. "This doesn't feel like a hospital ward at all—more like a wellness resort!" he joked, his eyes sparkling. "There's none of that oppressive 'hospital feeling' here." In this pleasant, healing-focused atmosphere—combined with expert rehabilitation guidance—Mr. Leung's recovery progressed much faster than expected. "I can literally feel myself improving every day," he shared. "My walking is steadier, and the pain has dramatically decreased."
For Mr. Leung, recovery went beyond physical healing—it was a journey of reclaiming dignity. The meticulous care he received at Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital touched him in countless ways, with even the smallest details making a profound difference. Among these, the food was a great source of comfort. "The meals here taste just like home—authentic Hong Kong flavors, yet perfectly balanced for recovery! Especially the pickled fish I had the other day was so good!" The authentic Hong Kong flavor alleviated the unease of seeking treatment far from home, which not only nourished his body but also eased the emotional strain of cross-border care.
What put Mr. Leung most at ease was the completely barrier-free communication. The majority of medical staff speak fluent Cantonese, making every consultation effortless. "I can express myself perfectly, just like in Hong Kong." Even if they can't speak Cantonese, they'd still listen and talk patiently and nicely. This linguistic and cultural familiarity transformed his medical journey, creating instant trust and understanding between the patient and caregivers.

Moreover, the online group chat established by the hospital enables Mr. Leung's family to receive real-time updates about his healing process. "Every step of the treatment and the pertinent effects are clearly informed and explained in the group chat." Thanks to the transparent and timely communication, Mr. Leung's family is satisfied and reassured about the whole treatment. And that just gave him the strength to fully focus on recovery.

A Heartfelt Testimony of Trust from the Patient
When asked whether he'd recommend the hospital to his friends back in Hong Kong, Mr. Leung answered without hesitation, "Absolutely!" He explained, "In here, I've got a well-functioning new hip but also experienced a journey of recovery full of respect and compassion." From being concerned about cross-border medical services before the operation, to witnessing the power of the intelligent joint robot during the operation, to receiving meticulous care from the medical staff after the operation, Mr. Leung's rehabilitation in Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital was an ideal demonstration of cross-border medical experience featuring advanced medical technology and human touch.
Mr. Leung's story stands as a living testament to Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital's effort to create a cross-border medical demonstration model for the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. By combining the intelligent joint robot with comprehensive medical teams, the hospital delivers world-class, patient-centered care at every stage of treatment. The combination of submillimeter precision in robotic-assisted surgery and exceptional patient care transforms cross-border medical treatment from a questionable alternative into a reliable choice, redefining healthcare standards in the Greater Bay Area. And this is the very essence of the Healthy Greater Bay Area.
