State to Strengthen Management of Cooperative Medical Institutions

The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation recently issued the document, "Temporary Measures for the Management of Sino-Foreign Joint and Cooperative Medical Institutions", stipulating the conditions for, approval and registration of this type of hospitals, business changes, extension and termination of such businesses.

The document also stipulates that both Chinese and foreign parties applying for the establishment of a jointly or cooperatively managed medical institution shall meet the following requirements: have engaged directly or indirectly in investment in and administration of medical and health services; be able to provide internationally advanced service and management; be able to provide internationally advanced medical technology and equipment, and make up the shortage of local funds, improve techniques, facilities and service capability. The total fund invested shall not be lower than 20 million yuan, and Chinese share shall not be lower than 30 percent. The cooperation period shall not exceed 20 years.

In respect to application for the establishment of such a hospital in west China and in old liberated, minority-inhabited, poverty-stricken and remote border areas, and the scope and content of its medical service are encouraged by the State, the requirements can be appropriately relaxed.

At present, the country boasts nearly 200 medical establishments with the involvement of foreign parties, but only 18 cooperative hospitals and over 60 clinics are officially approved.

Wu Mingjiang, director of the Hospital Administration Department of the Ministry of Health emphasized that solely foreign-funded medical institutions are presently still not allowed in China.
