On April 16, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference. A reporter asked that recently, Taiwanese singer Lu Jianzhong successfully underwent the first joint heart-liver transplant in Asia and recovered and discharged from hospital at the Second Hospital of Zhejiang University. He wrote “Thank the Motherland, Thank Hangzhou”, which sparked a buzz among Taiwanese netizens, praising the leading development of medical technology in mainland China. Any comments on this? Spokesman Zhu Fenglian said, “We would like to congratulate Mr. Lui on his successful surgery and his discharge from the hospital! His healing experience was a life relay across the strait. It is a vivid picture of compatriots on both sides of the Strait who are stronger than water and deeply affectionate. In recent years, the mainland's medical services have developed rapidly, and medical standards have been continuously improved, providing a better guarantee for Taiwanese compatriots to live and seek medical treatment in mainland China. We will continue to adhere to the concept of “one family on both sides of the Strait”, continuously improve the system and policy for Taiwanese compatriots to enjoy basic public health services, take medical professional and technical qualification examinations, apply for physician practice registration, and short-term medical practice. We also actively encourage and support cross-strait medical and health exchanges, and welcome Taiwanese medical professionals to visit and exchange in mainland China.
