The Ministry of Health has agreed to the principle of wholly foreign-owned medical institutions

Authorities close to the Ministry of Health September 6 to the "First financial daily" reporter disclosed that the Ministry of Health has agreed in principle to foreign-owned medical institutions.　　The authority said the document is expected to be announced in the near future, but did not disclose the timing of the release of the documents. Previously, the medical sector is not open to foreign-owned enterprises.　　If it is official, it will be an important substantive step in the reform of public hospitals following the issuance of the guidance on the pilot reform of public hospitals in February this year. At that time, one of the guiding opinions pointed out that we should accelerate the diversification of the medical pattern, encourage, support and guide social capital to develop medical and health undertakings, and encourage social forces to hold non-profit hospitals.
