Full Story

Mr. B, who had been in life-threatening condition due to a car accident and was refused by hospitals in many countries , not only had his life saved thanks to the precise treatment and comprehensive support provided by Harbor Health team and the multidisciplinary team at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, but also avoided lifelong paralysis and regained his ability to walk. With the compassionate heart of doctors that transcends national borders, a beautiful story of friendship between China and Mongolia has been continuously written.

Hospitals in many countries declined to admit, but Chinese doctors felt obligated to help

Mr. B suffered from bilateral comminuted fractures of the pelvis and a ruptured bladder due to a car accident.

Back in Mongolia , Mr. B was diagnosed with bilateral comminuted fractures of the pelvis and a ruptured bladder. His condition was extremely critical, and his life was in danger. In desperation, Mr. B's family consulted numerous renowned hospitals in Japan, South Korea , Thailand, and Turkey . However, due to the extremely high complexity of the surgery, involving intricate pelvic reconstruction and bladder repair, many hospitals stated they could not admit him, plunging Mr. B and his family into despair. After extensive inquiries , Mr. B's family contacted Harbor Health, placing their last hope on Harbor Health, hoping to seek treatment at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, one of China's top orthopedic hospitals .

Upon receiving the request for assistance, Harbor Health immediately activated the international patient treatment express channel. Before Mr. B's departure, Harbor Health organized an emergency consultation with orthopedic and urological experts to comprehensively assess his condition. Considering the critical nature of Mr. B's injuries and the difficulty of his transfer, Harbor Health developed a meticulous plan in advance for airport reception, transfer, and treatment, demonstrating the efficiency and professionalism of Chinese medical care. When Mr. B arrived at Beijing Capital International Airport, Harbor Health’s professional ambulance team was already waiting at the foot of the aircraft steps , seamlessly coordinating the entire process of customs clearance, airport reception, and transfer for Mr. B and his family , minimizing secondary injuries to Mr. B during the transfer and gaining valuable time for subsequent treatment.

Human-Robot collaboration and highly sophisticated surgical techniques minimize secondary damage.

In response to Mr. B's complex injuries, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital developed a personalized treatment plan, breaking down departmental barriers and collaborating with the orthopedic and urology teams to precisely perform surgical treatment. Unlike the traditional multi-stage orthopedic surgery approach, the Jishuitan Hospital expert team, leveraging their extensive clinical experience and superb surgical skills, completed the entire treatment in just two surgeries . The first was an orthopedic pelvic reconstruction surgery. Through the combined efforts of the surgeon and a state-of-the-art surgical robot, the shattered pelvis was precisely repositioned in a single operation, restoring pelvic stability . After the first surgery and navigating the critical period of intensive care, Mr. B underwent laparoscopic urological bladder repair surgery. This minimally invasive procedure repaired the complex bladder injury , restoring its normal physiological function. This precise and efficient surgical approach minimized Mr. B's surgical trauma, effectively accelerating his postoperative recovery. It demonstrates the top-tier level of Chinese medical care in the treatment of complex trauma and confirms the advantages of Chinese medicine in terms of "highly skilled and efficient" procedures.

The picture shows Mr. B expressing his indescribable gratitude to the doctor upon his discharge from the hospital.

Comprehensive and thoughtful support ensures a worry-free long post-operative recovery.

Throughout Mr. B's medical treatment and post-operative rehabilitation, we collaborated with Beijing Jishuitan Hospital to provide high-level medical services and comprehensive living support, making Mr. B and his family feel at home in a foreign country. Considering the actual needs of Mr. B and his family, we arranged for dedicated personnel to assist the family in renting an apartment and equipping them with complete living facilities to ensure their comfort during their treatment. Simultaneously, we provided Mr. B with a dedicated one-on-one professional translator throughout the process, breaking down language barriers. Whether it was communication regarding diagnosis and treatment, rehabilitation guidance, or handling daily needs, the translator accompanied him throughout, alleviating Mr. B and his family's concerns and making cross-border medical treatment convenient and smooth. This comprehensive service covering pre-treatment, treatment, and post-treatment is a vivid reflection of the continuous improvement of international medical services in Chinese hospitals.

After three months of meticulous treatment and scientific rehabilitation, Mr. B's condition has significantly improved, achieving an encouraging recovery: his life has been successfully saved, completely avoiding the tragedy of lifelong paralysis and bedriddenness. He is now able to sit up smoothly and walk independently with the help of assistive devices, and his various bodily functions are gradually returning to normal.
