Initiare International's publication Healthcare Redefined, alongside a wide array of industry and Governmental partners are the official media voice of China Healthcare Reform; The brand new PRD agreements and policy changes in CEPA 6.

On April 7, 2010, Hong Kong and Guangdong Province signed a Pearl River Delta (PRD) Outline framework agreement in Beijing. The Agreement is similar to the free trade agreement between USA and Mexico and that among the European Countries.

Under the PRD Agreement, Hong Kong companies can have direct access to PRD & China markets. The population of PRD is 50 million; Pan PRD covering 9 adjourning provinces is 500 millions and across China is 1.3 billion.  

In particular, the Agreement lifted the barriers for foreign healthcare and insurance industries to enter China should they be using Hong Kong as a bridging head.

Under the current China healthcare reform, the government encourages the foreign participation in healthcare related supporting industries to enter China. This include healthcare investment, medical TPA, healthcare management, PPO or healthcare network management, healthcare service related IT and technologies, medical evacuations, air ambulance, cost containment, risk management and preventive medicines.

Furthermore, Hong Kong and PRD can be a convenient international hub for the exchange of medical information with relation to control of infectious disease and development of drugs and medicine, promotion of integrated western and traditional Chinese medicine.

As healthcare & medicine were not within the WTO agenda, market entry into China for overseas companies and investors are subject to rigid controls and regulations. Now, for the first time, participants of this Conference will be able to have first hand information on the open door policy, from healthcare investment to filing of application to SFDA on drug and medical equipment.
