CNBC AI News, July 23rd – BGI Group CEO Yin Ye recently commented on the intense workload of Chinese healthcare professionals, stating they are significantly overextended.
According to Yin, despite the United States boasting superior medical facilities, its average life expectancy is comparable to that of China, with healthspan, or healthy years of life, even falling slightly behind. China, he notes, achieves a similar level of national health with a healthcare expenditure of only around 6% of its GDP, compared to approximately 19% in the United States. This remarkable efficiency, he argues, relies heavily on the dedication of its often-overburdened medical staff.
He emphasized the immense pressure faced by China’s doctors, explaining the perception of “poor bedside manner” sometimes stems from exceptionally high daily patient loads. Facing such overwhelming demand, doctors can struggle to attend to each patient’s needs with optimal care and attention.
Yin also touched upon the topic of human longevity, predicting that those born in the 2000s could anticipate living to 100 years or more.
However, he questioned the implications of potentially achieving immortality for a select few. He argued that further extending lifespan presents significant financial challenges and, more critically, raises complex ethical considerations about resource allocation and societal equity.
