She pointed out that philanthropic forces are not only a key component in supplementing and improving the medical security system but also serve as a bridge connecting the government, enterprises, and all sectors of society. The Shanghai Life Oasis Public Welfare Service Center has successfully assisted numerous families of patients with critical illnesses by providing direct material aid, establishing platforms for matching medical resources, and conducting health education and psychological support activities. In the future, the center will continue to deepen cooperation among various parties and promote the improvement of relevant policies, jointly contributing to the construction and development of the multi-tiered medical security system.

Zhao Zhongxing, President of the Shanghai Changning District Senior Citizens AssociationAt the salon, the focus was on the healthcare security needs of the elderly population, emphasizing the importance of integrating health management with medical insurance. He pointed out that Shanghai has a large elderly population, with the number of residents aged 60 and above approaching 6 million. Although the medical insurance system is gradually improving, there are still unmet needs among the elderly in terms of financial burden from medical expenses, allocation of medical resources, and health management services. To transition from “elderly care” to “enjoying old age,” it requires joint efforts from all sectors of society to explore and improve a multi-tiered medical insurance system.

Market mechanisms are a key driver in advancing the development of a multi-tiered medical security system.Liu Chang, Founder and CEO of iShk AsiaIt is proposed that commercial health insurance serves as a key participant in the Healthy China initiative, a driver of healthcare reform deepening, and both a builder and connector of the multi-tiered social security system. Currently, its share within the system remains relatively low, underscoring an urgent need for it to play a more significant role. Efforts should be made to encourage close collaboration between commercial insurers, medical institutions, and pharmaceutical companies, exploring cooperative models that deliver mutual benefits for all parties. This will further support diversified payment mechanisms for innovative drugs and medical devices, thereby meeting the public’s diverse health needs.

Liu Chang, Founder and CEO of Aishe Kang Asia, Delivers On-Site Remarks

Amid the current challenging yet opportunistic landscape of medical philanthropy, we must remain patient-centric and continuously support the upgrading and optimization of diversified payment models. Participants widely expressed their commitment to leveraging this salon as an opportunity to further strengthen cooperation and exchange.At the conference, SOPHMED, in collaboration with the Shanghai Life Oasis Public Welfare Service Center and under the framework of the China Patient Assistance Alliance, launched the “SOPHMED Support: Care Initiative for Families Affected by Critical Illnesses.” This initiative will provide comprehensive support to address the practical challenges faced by families of patients with critical illnesses, including commercial critical illness insurance risk protection, donations of health products, and health management care services.It is hoped that the implementation of this initiative will enable more families affected by critical illnesses to feel the warmth and care of society.

We believe that, through our collective efforts, the development of a multi-tiered medical security system will yield more significant results, contributing greater strength to the health and well-being of patients.
