Chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes, are the leading cause of mortality in China, representing 85 percent of all deaths

"China is facing a great challenge from chronic diseases, which has a serious impact on both the economy and society."  Kong Lingzhi, deputy director of the disease prevention and control bureau under the Ministry of Health, speaking at the Forum of Prevention and Control of Chronic Disease in Beijing, May 28 2011.

“The ultimate goal is to prevent people from getting ill rather than treating diseases,” he added.

How do we reach that goal? How does one begin to prevent disease? An important step for each individual is to take control of their health with the assistance of caring physicians who treat them as an individual, with evidence-based medicine and the goal to help them reach their best possible level of health, or optimum health.

Not Your Typical Health Care Experience

Most people only go to the doctor when they feel sick, or have a symptom they are worried about. That’s normally too late. And when you go to the doctor, how is the experience? Typically, you go to the hospital when you feel sick, wait in line, explain your symptoms to a stranger, get a number, wait some more, in an uncomfortable environment, surrounded by other sick people. When you finally get to see the doctor, how long does he personally spend with you? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? You are given a prescription to treat your symptom, but not the cause.

The next time you feel sick, you go through this entire process again. And do you see the same doctor or a different one? Is he aware of your previous symptoms? Your medical history? Does he have the time and training to get to the root of your health problems, or to help you avoid disease, rather than simply treating symptoms? This is what a personal doctor would do.

WA Personal Doctor Membership

WA, together with leading international institutions has designed a membership program that provides members with a personal doctor to manage their health. This gives them access to the world’s best physicians, international medical coverage, and a personal doctor who oversees all of their medical records and health concerns. Service is provided with direct billing, no registration, no waiting in line.

What is a personal doctor?

A personal doctor manages your health. He creates a relationship of trust and care with you and your family, spending the time and effort to really get to know you and understand your mental, physical and emotional health concerns. He listens to you and helps you to make the right health care decisions.

What does a personal doctor do?

A personal doctor is trained in the latest evidence-based western medicine and alternative medicine. Supported by an international team of medical experts, specialists and state of the art facilities, he helps you to reach and maintain your optimum, or best possible, health.
I don’t feel sick. Why do I need a doctor?

A well-trained and caring doctor does not simply treat symptoms. WA doctors are specially trained in preventive medicine. Preventing illness or disease is better, easier, and less costly than overcoming disease.

Your WA personal doctor is who you see for:

   Feeling sick
   Wondering about a symptom
   Specialist referral
   Sub-health & early disease detection
   Help to make you feel and function better
