China Health Management Corp. (Pink Sheets: CNHC), a China-based healthcare management company, today announced its Richland International Hospital (RIH) has received support from the local Government of Yunnan Province to help transform it into a medical and healthcare services provider.
“Our marketing plan for 2008 is to establish a brand name for Richland International by focusing on the high-level healthcare services market and aim to expand our memberships rapidly starting from the City of Kunming and extending thru to the greater Yunnan Province,” Dr. Xu Mei, CEO of China Health Management Services and chairman of RIH, stated in the press release. “The market has already been proven that there is a tremendous demand for high-level healthcare and medical services.”
Since its opening in April 2007, RIH has developed a healthcare management system for all departments, following the standards of the Joint Commission International. Serving nearly 8,000 patients and 680 foreign patients, RIH is the first hospital to operate with a full information technology system in the Southwest part of China.
The Government of Yunnan Province has kept an eye on RIH, recognizing its achievements and granting the hospital three years of tax-free exemptions, as well as announced the hospital as one of the major Joint Venture Hospitals in Kunming City.
Additionally, RIH is the only hospital permitted to recruit foreign medical staff, including physicians and nurses in the Yunnan Province.
