Healthcare Innovation: NVGF and Haibin Rehabilitation Hospital Bring Together Eastern and Western Medicine
NVGF has established a partnership with Haibin Rehabilitation Hospital in China. The signing ceremony, which was held in Lianyungang, aims to integrate Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with Western rehabilitation therapies, such as physiotherapy, to enhance healthcare services.
Key stakeholders, including representatives from Jiangsu Province's Health Commission and the Netherlands Trade Development Agency that mediated the event, were present at the signing ceremony.
NVGF emphasised that this partnership aligns with their mission to promote global cooperation and interdisciplinary approaches in healthcare. The collaboration will focus on improving care standards, particularly in chronic disease management and elderly care.
