As the backbone of China's healthcare system, public tertiary hospitals bear the brunt of critical care and treatment tasks. Under resource-strained conditions, the challenge of admitting complex cases such as malignant tumors, rare diseases, and multi-organ failure has become increasingly acute. Meanwhile, the public's perception of private hospitals remains limited to “outpatient care for minor illnesses,” with their technical capabilities frequently questioned. How can this dilemma be resolved? The Yihe International Medical Center of Foresea Life Insurance Guangzhou General Hospital is breaking down these biases with its capabilities, offering a new solution for the industry.
The Development Challenges of Private Hospitals: Structural Shortcomings and a Trust Crisis
China's healthcare system has long faced the challenges of “insufficient total capacity and structural imbalance.” On one hand, public hospitals have accumulated extensive experience in treating complex and severe conditions, but due to constraints such as bed availability and risk factors, they often approach cases involving major illnesses or severe conditions with extreme caution. On the other hand, while private hospitals account for over 65% of the total number of hospitals (source: “2023 Statistical Bulletin on the Development of China's Health and Wellness Sector”), their varying levels of technical capability prevent them from entering the core arena of major illness treatment.
Additionally, the long-standing trust crisis remains a significant barrier between private hospitals and patients—early private hospitals, represented by the Putian Group, profited through false advertising and overmedicalization, creating a collective memory of “fraudulent treatment,” leading to a trust deficit even for private medical institutions with outstanding capabilities and compliant operations. Many patients openly state, “I would rather wait six months for a public hospital bed than risk trying a private hospital.” .
