The International Talent Hub Community Healthcare Station, which officially opened on Dec. 5 of last year, is jointly operated by the Shenzhen Qianhai Shekou Free Trade Zone Hospital and the GBA Healthcare Group. By introducing top-tier general medical teams from Hong Kong, the station provides high-quality, Hong Kong-style medical services to residents from Hong Kong, Macao, and international visitors. The station integrates resources from general practice, specialized care, traditional Chinese medicine, rehabilitation, nursing, and dentistry to offer comprehensive, sustainable, and international healthcare services.

Following this, the group visited Shenzhen Qianhai Taikang Hospital, where they participated in a healthcare lecture. They learned about the prevention and treatment of common diseases, such as strokes and oral injuries, as well as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). At the hospital, the guests experienced oral examinations, skin assessments, and traditional Chinese therapies, including moxibustion, cupping, and massage, which received high praise from the participants.
Natia Guguchia, from Georgia, shared, “I learned so much about stroke prevention, which is really helpful. We also had CPR training, which is great and everyone should know how to do it. Furthermore, the medical staff is very nice and friendly, and they speak fluent English, which is really helpful for those who don’t speak Chinese.”
