Foreign medical clinics serve more Chinese (2)

"GP's have a lower, but a still respectable income in the US, about $160,000 annually. Specialists earn double, but the government has policies supporting GPs, including free tuition fees in college if they are willing to work in rural areas," said Andy Wang, chairman of the department of family medicine in Beijing United Family Hospital.

Wang has worked in the hospital for six years and said the hospital's other three clinics, targeting community family practice, witnessed an increase in visits from local Chinese people. UFH will expand the family practice service nationwide. Qingdao, a coastal city in Shandong province, may be the next location for a clinic.
