Datong Financial and UK's HCA to jointly tap China's healthcare sector

Datong Financial Services, one of the country's leading insurance brokerage companies, on Thursday signed a strategic agreement with international medical institution HCA Healthcare UK to further explore cooperation in the healthcare sector.

The move, according the both company's top management, is aimed to provide quality healthcare services such as second opinions in diagnoses and treatment and overseas medical services appointments.

With a technology revolution led by mobile network, artificial intelligence and big data in the insurance industry gathering steam and a strong sense of mission, Datong is committed to pooling advanced medical resources by assisting patients in making appointment and preparations before their oversees treatment and seeking second opinions from HCA specialists.

This partnership is attuned to China's ongoing big blueprint of Healthy China 2030 with a purpose of making Chinese people fitter and healthier as a widespread nationwide campaign. With China's growing aging population, the partnership will act as a solution for future healthcare services to some extent.
