Blue Ocean Battle! The 1st China Emergency Medicine & Rescue Innovation Competition Officially Launched
Reports indicate that by the end of 2017, China’s population aged 60 and above reached 240 million, accounting for 17.3% of the total population, and is projected to rise to 27% by 2050, making emergency and critical care for middle-aged and elderly individuals an increasingly essential need.
According to incomplete statistics, the annual number of emergency patients in Beijing is10.8 million–14.4 millionbetween, among whichElderly patients (aged 60 and above) account for approximately 70% of adult emergency department visits.. With 661 cities across China, it is evident that there is a substantial demand for emergency care among the middle-aged and elderly population. Furthermore, by the end of 2017, the number of Chinese residents aged 60 and above reached 240 million, accounting for 17.3% of the total population. As population aging intensifies, this proportion is projected to rise to 27% by 2050.
Emergency and critical care for middle-aged and elderly individuals has gradually become an essential need. This demographic requires broader attention and more refined medical services; however, a complete ecosystem has yet to take shape in this field, leaving a blue-ocean market ripe for exploration.
Mutual CoordinationUpstream and Downstream Industry Chains Jointly PromoteDevelopment of Emergency and Critical Care Services
Guo Wei, Director of the Emergency Department at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, stated that although emergency care in China has developed for over 30 years, a complete ecosystem has yet to be established. Emergency departments remain disconnected from pre-hospital care, and medical devices and pharmaceuticals lack distinct classification systems. Currently, the sector is in a golden period of rapid growth, requiring collaborative support from both upstream and downstream segments of the industry chain.
Upstream: Government, investors, and enterprises (pharmaceuticals, medical devices, information systems, hardware and software, solutions, etc., in the field of emergency care)
Downstream: General Public
Integrate upstream and downstream industrial chains to jointly advance the development of emergency care and forge a path toward integrated, comprehensive treatment.
