The WeDoctor Greater Bay Area Healthcare Platform commenced preparation at the beginning of 2018. It has heretofore completed the strategic planning and connection of the healthcare services resources in 21 prefecture-level cities, and Hong Kong and Macau, and established strategic partnerships with AIA Group, NWS Holdings, IDS Medical Systems Group, and Reproductive Healthcare Group in Hong Kong.

The development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area is a national strategy in China. The Greater Bay Area is one of the regions in China with the strongest composite capability, the highest degree of openness, and the most vibrant economy. The opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has set the stage for the comprehensive interaction of the Greater Bay Area. The newly established WeDoctor Greater Bay Area Healthcare Platform will act as a bridge to connect the healthcare services of the three regions, promoting the integration of the advance healthcare technology and premium healthcare resources to elevate the overall standard of the healthcare services of the Greater Bay Area. The platform will help to create within the Greater Bay Area to provide swift and convenient services.
Mr Anthony Wu, Chairman of the WeDoctor Greater Bay Area Healthcare Platform, said, "The Greater Bay Area is a major part of China's national strategy. Healthcare provision is one of the core focuses of the Greater Bay Area development. There exists an urgent demand for an efficient platform that consolidates resources and provides innovative services in the Greater Bay Area. As a pioneer and forerunner in the fields of internet hospital and smart healthcare, WeDoctor possesses leading innovative and practical capabilities in healthcare technology. I am honoured to have the opportunity to work with WeDoctor to drive the integration of healthcare resources in the region through internet technology and serve the 70 million people in the Greater Bay Area."��
As the first HMO (Health Management Organisation) base of WeDoctor in the Greater Bay Area, the Zhuhai Base is also the first embedded healthcare base to be launched through the WeDoctor Greater Bay Area Healthcare Platform. The Zhuhai Base has consolidated the resources and strengths WeDoctor has accumulated in the areas of healthcare, pharmaceutical, and insurance in the last eight years. Backed by the Zhuhai Internet Hospital, which was established by WeDoctor Guangzhou and Zhuhai People's Hospital, the Zhuhai Base can provide health management membership service to residents in the region, and integrated services including appointment making between regional medical organisations, hospital transfer, consultation, online health management, and convenient medication dispensing. On the inauguration day, the Zhuhai Base implemented a nine-city remote video connection with prefecture-level cities including Dongguan and Foshan via the WeDoctor Greater Bay Area Healthcare Platform. The establishment of the rest of the Greater Bay Area city service bases is in progress.

Mr Lu Ligong, Superintendent of the Zhuhai People's Hospital, said, "Zhuhai People's Hospital has forged a number of specialist alliances in the fields including interventional treatment, chest pain, and hormone metabolism. On this basis, our collaboration with WeDoctor is a win-win alliance.
