Stories of foreign patients recovering from long-term illnesses, safe childbirth for elderly expectant mothers and successful minimally invasive surgeries show Nansha's steady improvement in cross-border medical care. These cases reflect the district's commitment to people-centered development and high-quality livelihood services.

Supported by the healthcare infrastructure upgrading program, Nansha has established a five-tier medical and disease prevention system. Top-tier hospitals such as the Nansha Division of the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University and Guangzhou First People's Hospital offer residents accessible and reliable medical support, turning the goal of "quality medical care nearby" into reality.

Backed by innovative policies, Nansha is building a high-caliber living circle in the Greater Bay Area. It provides green channels for talents, direct cross-border medical settlement and overseas insurance payment, Hong Kong and Macau medical vouchers, and cross-border ambulance services.

As part of the high-quality implementation of the Nansha Plan, the district is advancing medical reform and exploring international medical services. By strengthening both hardware capacity and soft services, Nansha is becoming an emerging medical hub, using health and well-being to attract global talent and enhance its charm as an inclusive, livable city.
