Boost Strategic Layout in The Healthcare Sector, Accelerate The Building of The Healthcare Ecosystem

In recent years, Ping An has focused on “Pan Financial Assets” and “Pan Healthcare” to comprehensively build the Group healthcare ecosystem and deeply serve the ecosystem participants in all aspects of the healthcare industry and empower the Group core financial services business. Healthcare is a dominant core business segment of the Founder Group, with PKU Healthcare Industry Group Co., Ltd., which owns the first-class medical brand name at the international level, and the Peking University International Hospital, the mission of which is to “build a first-class hospital at the international level”. With offline industrial scale, research and development and the application of healthcare technology or the collection of healthcare big data, these are all highly consistent with the strategic layout of the Company for building a healthcare ecosystem.

In future, by focusing on the healthcare and information industries, the Company will carry out in-depth cooperation with Peking University in the field of medical education and research and the transformation of the achievements of enterprises, universities and scientific research institutions, and Peking University will provide the Company and New Founder Group with its support in expanding medical institutions under the principle of marketization and legalization.

Ping An remarked that participating in the restructuring of Founder Group is an important move of the Company to further boost its strategic layout in the healthcare sector, and is of great significance for the Company to actively construct its healthcare ecosystem.
