Chinese-Western Oncology Rehabilitation Center - a boon to Medical Tourism in Hong Kong
An innovative healthcare institution established by a civil organization, the Chinese-Western Oncology Rehabilitation Center in Hong Kong, is staffed with specialists from China. The hospital provides free medical services to cancer patients, by simultaneously combing the best of both the Western and Chinese approaches to cancer treatments.
While the Western medicine for curing cancer usually approaches by 'attacking' the cancer cells, the Chinese approach stresses on supplementing the body's natural resistance and strength. Chinese medicos hope that the use of Chinese herbs will minimize the unpleasant side effects caused by chemotherapy and radiation. This way, the patients will get a treatment that is as effective and as painless as possible.
Hong Kong's Chinese-Western Oncology Rehabilitation Center is especially popular among Americans who find this center intriguing and are starting crossing the word over to seek cancer treatments in Hong Kong. Since long, Hong Kong has been known as a premier destination for medical tourism, especially for procedures that are illegal in the United States. However, with the opening of the Chinese-Western center for cancer patients, Hong Kong is receiving a whole new influx of medical tourists. If such a trend continues, more and more Americans will travel to Hong Kong for cancer treatments, which will be unlike any they can possibly have in the United States.
