Ping An Good Doctor Rebrands as Ping An Health, Unveils Strategic Shift Toward Integrated Medical and Wellness Services

On January 27, 2021, Ping An Healthcare and Technology Company Limited (Stock Code: 1833.HK), China’s leading internet healthcare service platform, announced that the “PINGAN GOOD DOCTOR” app had been officially renamed “Ping An Health” as part of the company’s comprehensive strategic upgrade.

This renaming is not only a direct reflection of the company’s strategic upgrade but also embodies its vision to bring safety and health to every Chinese citizen. “Ping An Health” is committed to ensuring that every family has a family doctor, every individual has an electronic health record, and every person has a personalized health management plan, thereby becoming a trusted guardian of national health.

The “PINGAN GOOD DOCTOR” app was renamed “Ping An Health,” which primarily conveys four layers of meaning.

First, as the nation drives a shift from being “disease-centered” to “people’s health-centered,” health has become the “keyword” for the future development of healthcare services. Supported by industry policies, the healthcare needs of China’s 1.4 billion people have been rapidly activated.

Secondly, the sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 gave people a profound appreciation of the fragility of life and the importance of health. Safety and well-being are the greatest assets in life, representing the most sincere and fundamental aspirations of the Chinese people. The evolution from “PINGAN GOOD DOCTOR” to “Ping An Health” embodies the platform’s unwavering original commitment to health and its sense of responsibility and mission.

Third, leveraging the favorable momentum of national policies and aligning with the aspirations of the Chinese people, the company has launched a comprehensive strategic upgrade based on its core competencies, focusing on three key areas: channels, services, and capabilities. The rebranding from “PINGAN GOOD DOCTOR” to “Ping An Health” is the most direct manifestation of this strategic upgrade, signifying the company’s comprehensive evolution from medical services to integrated medical and health services. The new Ping An Health is committed to providing users with holistic solutions spanning both medical care and health management, shifting the focus from “treating existing diseases” to “preventing future illnesses,” and building full-lifecycle health management services that cover prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation.

The final implication of renaming the “PINGAN GOOD DOCTOR” app to “Ping An Health” is to strengthen synergy with Ping An’s healthcare ecosystem. As China’s leading internet-based medical and health service platform, Ping An Health serves as the user-facing and online medical service hub within Ping An’s healthcare ecosystem, acting as a key flagship entity. Guided by national strategies, Ping An Health will remain committed to providing high-quality integrated medical and health services to the public, while continuously enhancing strategic alignment with Ping An’s healthcare ecosystem, raising competitive barriers in medical technology, and driving robust momentum for both ecosystem development and the company’s high-quality, sustainable growth.

Fang Weihao, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Ping An Healthcare and Technology Company Limited, stated that the company will make it its mission to build a professional bridge for doctor-patient communication. With trust, professionalism, and convenience as its goals, the company aims to create China’s largest, most advanced, and most defensible internet healthcare service platform, launching an internal second wave of entrepreneurship and transitioning from the 1.0 era to the 2.0 era.

Since the official launch of its app client in 2015, the “Ping An Health” app has accumulated 346 million registered users within just six years, with monthly active users exceeding 67 million, making it a leading mobile healthcare application in China in terms of coverage.
