Recently, the Fujian Provincial Health Commission issued a document that "Fujian Xiapu Funing Hospital" was officially recognized as a first-class general hospital, which is also the first first-class private hospital in Ningde City.
It is understood that Fujian Xiapu Funing Hospital was founded in December 2010 and is a non-profit private general hospital. The hospital covers an area of 40 acres, with a total construction area of 55,738 square meters in the first and second phases, 53,195 square meters of business space and 515 beds. At present, the hospital has also established a close medical consortium with Fujian Provincial Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, Fujian Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital, and Mindong Hospital.
This time, Xiapu Funing Hospital was confirmed as a first-class general hospital, which solved the "short board" of the insufficient number of first-class hospitals in Ningde City, and will better meet the growing medical service needs of the masses in the future.
In recent years, with the increase in social demand for medical services and the advancement of medical system reform, private capital has begun to widely enter the medical and health field. In this context, some excellent private hospitals have gradually emerged, with their excellent medical technology and service level, becoming the best among the best general hospitals.
According to the statistics of the China Health Statistical Yearbook 2022, by the end of 2021, the total number of private hospitals in China has reached 24,766, of which 486 are private hospitals.
Here are some of the examples:
Nanjing BenQ Hospital: A tertiary general hospital jointly invested by Taiwan BenQ Group and Nanjing State-owned Assets Group, officially opened in 2003, which is also BenQ's first large-scale hospital in Chinese mainland. Since the opening of the hospital, the total number of outpatient and emergency visits has exceeded one million, and the total number of discharges has exceeded 40,000
Suzhou Kowloon Hospital: This is also a tertiary general hospital, officially put into operation in 2006, is the first large-scale hospital invested and built by Hong Kong Kowloon Group in the mainland, located in Suzhou Industrial Park Jinji Lake. The hospital has 29 clinical departments and 12 medical technology departments, and the hospital has made remarkable achievements in talent training and construction
Dongguan Kanghua Hospital: A third-class private general hospital invested by Kanghua Medical Group, with senior professional titles and a number of characteristic specialties. Officially put into operation in 2006, it is the first tertiary general hospital in China invested and built by a private enterprise and passed the national acceptance
Shenzhen China Resources Shenzhen Bay International Medical Center: This is a high-end ** general hospital, located in the central area of Houhai, Nanshan District, Shenzhen. The hospital covers an area of 370,000 square meters, with a total construction area of 2670,000 square meters with more than 450 beds.
These cases show that under the appropriate policy environment and market conditions, it is entirely possible for private hospitals to become high-level medical institutions through their own efforts and development.
At the same time, the rise of these private hospitals has also injected new vitality into China's medical and health undertakings. They complement and promote each other with public hospitals, and jointly build a diversified medical service system.
However, private hospitals that intend to be promoted to first-class hospitals or even tertiary hospitals must clarify their own way of survival before expanding their scale, after all, it is difficult for private hospitals to directly compete with well-known "big tertiary hospitals" for patients.
Some people bluntly said that for the district and county hospitals that want to be promoted, an ideal future is to continue to undertake common diseases, frequent diseases and severe patients, and at the same time, strengthen the treatment of acute and critical diseases, create a "small specialty" with its own characteristics, and make itself the sentinel and supplement of the "big three".
