Shunde Polytechnic Deepens Cooperation with HeYou International Hospital Group to Write a New Chapter in Medical-Education Integration

On the morning of April 18, 2025, Li Xianxiang, Secretary of the Party Committee of Shunde Polytechnic, led a delegation including Wan Li, Director of the University Party and Government Office, Yu Guodong, Dean of the School of Medicine and Health, and Li Li, Vice Chairman of the University Trade Union, to visit HeYou International Hospital Group. The two sides engaged in in-depth discussions on topics such as university-hospital co-construction, medical cooperation, optimization of health examination services, and the establishment of green medical channels, exploring new pathways for industry-education integration and coordinated medical development.

Exploring Cooperation: Focusing on Talent Cultivation and Medical Resource Interconnection

Liu Xiaofang, Deputy Director of the HeYou International Hospital Group Management Committee and President of HeYou Hospital, Wang Jianming, Member of the HeYou International Hospital Group Management Committee and Vice President of HeYou Hospital, and Lie Haijian, Member of the HeYou International Hospital Group Management Committee and Vice President of HeYou Hospital, warmly received the delegation from Shunde Polytechnic.

During the tour, the university leaders visited the outpatient hall, the 3rd-floor Health Examination Center, the 7th-floor East Wing Ward, and the IMC International Medical Center of HeYou Hospital, gaining an in-depth understanding of the hospital's service philosophy of "affordable quality" and its discipline layout for "full-lifecycle health management."

At the subsequent symposium, the two sides reached a preliminary consensus on jointly building internship and training bases, co-cultivating medical technology talents, and optimizing health management services. President Liu Xiaofang stated: "As a non-profit tertiary general hospital, HeYou Hospital has always adhered to its original aspiration of 'benefiting the community and giving back to society.' We look forward to promoting the two-way empowerment of medical resources and educational resources through university-enterprise cooperation."

Complementary Advantages: The Confluence of a Vocational Education Benchmark and a Medical Model

As a high-level higher vocational institution with Chinese characteristics, Shunde Polytechnic possesses significant advantages in fields such as medicine and health, and intelligent manufacturing. Yu Guodong, Dean of its School of Medicine and Health, proposed during the exchange that in the future, leveraging the clinical resources of HeYou Hospital in areas like oncology and critical care, they could jointly develop practical courses, deepen the cultivation of "dual-qualification" teachers, and help students seamlessly bridge their professional abilities with job requirements.

Additionally, the two sides explored the feasibility of implementing public-benefit services such as "health examination cooperation" and "green medical channels," planning to provide more efficient and convenient health management support for faculty, students, and the public.

Rooted in the Greater Bay Area: Building a New Ecosystem for High-Quality Development

As the "dual business cards" of vocational education and healthcare in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, this cooperation holds both strategic significance and social value. HeYou International Hospital Group's affiliated institutions, including HeYou Hospital and HeYou Zhizhen Hospital IMC, bring together top medical experts from home and abroad. Shunde Polytechnic, with over 40 years of educational heritage, has cultivated more than 100,000 technical and skilled talents. Its development path of "intelligence and internationalization" highly aligns with HeYou Hospital's philosophy of "international quality." Secretary Li Xianxiang emphasized: "In the future, we will take this exchange as an opportunity to promote the deep integration of 'industry, academia, research, and medicine,' injecting new momentum into the upgrade of the healthcare industry in the Greater Bay Area."

This visit has laid a solid foundation for cooperation between the two parties. It is reported that the two sides will subsequently refine cooperation plans around jointly building industrial colleges and conducting joint scientific research, further unleashing the synergistic effects of vocational education and medical services, and contributing to the implementation of the "Healthy China" strategy in the Greater Bay Area.
