Forum on healthcare sector

A forum aiming to collect suggestions from experts on the healthcare industry for the country's 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20), was held in Beijing on Sunday.

The event was jointly organized by Minsheng Weekly, a periodical focused on livelihoods from the People's Daily stable, and Strategic Alliance for the Medical & Healthcare Industry of China, an industry body founded in 2013 by a dozen renowned entrepreneurs from the sector.

Among issues, the forum discussed how the healthcare industry could turn into a trillion-yuan sector in the next few years, as well as the opportunities and challenges that private businesses in the field face while general healthcare reform policies are carried out.
