Background

In 2009, China announced plans to expand healthcare system reforms with the goal of providing universal healthcare by 2020. With a growing population of over 1.3 billion, China has a rising demand for quality healthcare services. Driving this demand are factors such as aging demographics, public healthcare reforms, and increasing affluence and urbanization. In addressing these issues, China is working to close the knowledge gap between senior healthcare management and procurement mechanisms, as well as learn more about the latest IT and medical technologies available. Shrinking this gap will greatly improve the overall healthcare system by improving the management and day-to-day functions of healthcare facilities through the use of advanced medical technologies and healthcare management best practices.
