BEIJING: China’s recent move to allow the establishment of wholly owned foreign hospitals in nine regions is primarily aimed at providing diversified medical services for both foreigners living in the nation and Chinese people, the authorities said on Friday (Nov 29).
A statement released on the official website of the National Health Commission said the nine regions will import high-level medical resources, enrich domestic medical services and see an enhanced business environment.
