Xu Ke, President of Meinian Onehealth, and Paula Wilson, CEO of JCI, engaged in in-depth discussions on the partnership and attended the signing ceremony.
Xu Ke stated, “The JCI standards are globally recognized as the ‘gold standard’ for healthcare service quality, representing the highest level of medical service and management. Participating in JCI accreditation aligns closely with Meinian Onehealth’s commitment to medical safety and quality. This collaboration will further enhance the examination centers’ performance in medical safety, operational management systems, and workflow processes, enabling Meinian Onehealth to provide customers with world-class medical services.”

We are delighted to witness the strategic partnership between China Resources JCI and Meinian, and we sincerely appreciate Meinian’s willingness to participate in the JCI accreditation process. Meinian and JCI share common values in the healthcare services sector, namely, providing customers with safe, high-quality medical and health management services. JCI is also eager to assist Meinian in further enhancing its standardization levels.”
As the most credible international accreditation for healthcare quality worldwide, JCI centers its evaluation on “patient safety and quality improvement.” As of August 2018, a total of 1,046 healthcare institutions and programs globally had achieved JCI accreditation, including 101 in China, laying a solid foundation for patient safety and healthcare quality.
As a leading enterprise in preventive medicine in China and one of the most valuable healthcare service companies by market capitalization, Meinian Onehealth is committed to safeguarding the quality of life for every Chinese citizen as its corporate mission. It owns multiple professional health examination and medical brands, including “Meinian Grand Health,” “Ciming,” and “Meizhao,” operating more than 600 medical and check-up centers across 32 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions, covering 215 core cities throughout China.
Since its inception, Meinian Onehealth has continuously strengthened medical safety and quality management, setting industry standards for health checkups. Participating in JCI accreditation enables Meinian Onehealth to align with top-tier international standards. By leveraging JCI’s theoretical tools for medical safety and quality management, the company can further optimize various aspects of its health checkup centers, including medical safety, operational management systems, work processes, staff efficiency, and the examination environment. This will comprehensively enhance the operational management level of its checkup centers, providing consumers with safer and higher-quality medical services. Furthermore, this initiative helps position Meinian Onehealth as a professional health examination institution with international-quality standards, establishing it as an industry “flagbearer” for high-quality health management companies.
In recent years, Meinian Onehealth has continuously collaborated with renowned professional institutions specializing in medical quality and safety management to introduce the world’s most advanced hospital management concepts, methodologies, and tools, thereby steadily enhancing its standards of medical safety and quality. Previously, Meinian Onehealth partnered with Peking University Health Science Center to establish the “Meinian Public Health Research Institute of Peking University Health Science Center,” aiming to leverage data sharing and research outcomes to jointly build a world-class platform for public health and big data research and practice, thus further advancing the development of preventive medicine and health management in China.
In the future, Meinian Onehealth will continue to dedicate itself to integrating high-quality global medical resources and advanced management concepts, striving to create a new model of health management that meets international standards. It aims to provide consumers with safe, high-quality medical services, fulfill its noble mission of “safeguarding the quality of life for every Chinese citizen,” and evolve into a quality-driven and data-driven health service and life science company with unlimited potential.
