In May 2017, our hospital launched the construction of an internet hospital platform to provide TCM remote medical services. We opened cloud consultation roomsremote consultation services, collaborating with TCM clinicsmedical institutions in 16 countriesregions, including the UK, France, Switzerland,Australia. This initiative created a cooperative medical alliance under Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, enabling overseas patients to access a full chain of services, including online appointment scheduling, consultations,payments. This has facilitated online multinational TCM consultations among the cooperative medical alliance.
Building on this foundation, we deepened our TCM services for overseas Chinese by establishing a green channel for expatriatesoverseas Chinese to receive health check-ups, medical consultations, wellness care, TCM cultural experiences,TCM tourism, thereby creating an offline TCM service platform.
Since 2018, we have hosted approximately 1,500 overseas friendsexpatriates from about 56 countries for TCM experiences. Online consultationsremote medical services have reached over 100 patients, while more than 1,200 overseas friends have received offline consultationshospital admissions. We have arranged for TCM experts to visit over ten countries, including the United States, Canada, the UK, Hungary, the UAE, Dubai, Peru, Argentina,Brazil, to conduct international cooperationexchanges in TCM. In total, we have provided more than 50 TCM health consultation services abroad, offering free medical consultations to nearly 2,500 people. In 2018, the construction of this platform received several awards, including the 2019 "Excellence in Smart Health Care Achievements" award, the Jiangsu Provincial Medical ScienceTechnology Award for HealthManagement, the First Prize for Outstanding Cases from the Jiangsu Provincial Hospital Association, recognition as one of the "Top Ten Innovative Works" by the Jiangsu Provincial Health Commission, the Second Prize for New Technology Introduction from the Jiangsu Provincial Health Commission, the "Top Ten Favorite HIT Technology New Applications" at the CHINC exhibition,the "Leading Technology Achievement Award" at the 2018 Big Data Expo.
