SZ sets aside 5 lots for new hospitals

    SHENZHEN plans to turn five lots into hospitals funded by private investors, the city’s Health and Family Planning Commission announced yesterday.

    The lots are located in areas with underdeveloped urban infrastructure, including Minzhi in Longhua New Area and Shajing in Bao’an District.

    “The five hospitals will consist of four comprehensive hospitals and a children’s hospital,” Li Lin, vice director of the commission’s office for promoting private investment, said at a press conference yesterday.

    “The city government will support social capital in the areas, such as land, human resources, taxes, subsidies and social insurance policies,” said Li.

    The first lot on offer will be the one in Minzhi, according to Li.

    “The bidder has to invest no less than 500 million yuan (US$80 million) and must be capable of running a top-level hospital. In addition, the bidder could be a domestic or foreign firm, or an internationally well-known hospital management group. Famous medical schools from home and abroad can also bid for the lot,” said Li.

    The successful bidder has to promise that no less than half of its hospital services will be basic ones, which cater to the medical needs of the working class and the prices of which would be set by the government.

    Shenzhen launched a project last year to court renowned doctors, medical schools and hospitals, as well as clinics run by famous doctors, with a view to boosting medical services.

    “The number of outpatients and inpatients grew by 33.2 percent and 44.7 percent, respectively, between 2008 and 2013, during which the number of doctors only increased by 25.7 percent,” said Zhou Liping, vice director of personnel for the commission.

    In addition, there is only one medical school in the city, which can’t meet the increasing demand for doctors.

    To tackle the shortage of medical workers, Shenzhen last year started recruiting medical graduates in cities like Beijing, Nanjing and Shenyang.

    Shenzhen plans to hold a medical care cooperation conference in Beijing on Sept. 22, during which proposed investment projects related to life and health industries that will need investments totaling about 800 million yuan will be announced, according to Sun Meihua, deputy head and spokesperson of the commission.

    “The conference will be attended by almost all renowned medical schools in China, as well as experts from home and abroad.”
