Amcare has already been inOperates six obstetrics and gynecology hospitals in Beijing, Tianjin, Hangzhou, and Shenzhen., inOperates one postpartum care center each in Beijing and Hangzhou,Covering the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Pearl River Delta, and the Yangtze River Delta, has wonWarburg Pincus, China Everbright Group, and Aerospace Fundinstitutional investment, etc.
Amcare Healthcare Group was established in 2004, dedicated to providing high-quality medical services to Chinese families, including obstetrics, gynecology, pediatrics, reproductive health, postpartum rehabilitation, and comprehensive outpatient care. After 11 years of development, it has become the largest private obstetrics hospital in the Beijing area.Delivered 40,000 newborns, providing high-quality medical services to over 200,000 families.
Over the 11 years since its founding, Amcare has pioneered a novel model of international medical services. By adhering to international hospital management standards, it has established a comprehensive hospital management system comprising 32 management modules and 1,008 regulatory policies. This systematic approach enables rigorous monitoring and supervision of medical and service quality, driving continuous improvement.
Dr. Hu Lan, Founder and President of Amcare, expressed strong optimism about the partnership, noting that as leaders in their respective industries, the two companies will fully leverage their complementary industrial advantages to create more collaborative opportunities in the fields of medical and health services.
She stated, “As a pioneer of high-quality healthcare in China, Amcare is committed to elevating the medical quality and service capabilities of the entire industry. By exporting its healthcare management systems to other medical institutions, Amcare comprehensively enhances service standards across the healthcare sector in areas such as hospital management standardization, modular training, service workflows, and quality control. This effort delivers professional, safe, and compassionate medical services not only to Amcare’s clients but also to families throughout China.”
This also serves as a robust interpretation and practical implementation of the policies outlined in the 19th National Congress’s “Healthy China Strategy,” including “supporting private healthcare provision and developing the health industry” and “continuously enhancing comprehensive service capabilities and improving the quality of medical services.”
Wei Shihan of Yuan Yang Capital stated that health consumption is one of the primary manifestations of consumption upgrading, with sustained demand growth and a vast market size. “Medical services serve as the main vehicle in the healthcare sector. Benefiting from the dividends of social development, they represent an attractive entry point for investment. While the industry enjoys short-term gains from consumption upgrading, long-term competitiveness ultimately hinges on service quality and safety, leading to a pronounced Matthew Effect within the sector. Amcare has established strong competitive moats through its medical system, service standards, market reputation, and nationwide presence, demonstrating robust growth momentum and significant long-term value.”
Regarding this investment, Lin Chuan, Deputy General Manager of Sino-Ocean Capital, stated that since 2016, Sino-Ocean Capital has intensified its equity investments in the big health sector, and this investment will help the company improve its layout of the health ecosystem.
Lin Chuan stated, “Sino-Ocean has been deeply engaged in the elderly care and health services sector for many years, accumulating extensive experience and expertise. Amcare, as a well-known high-end medical service provider in China, not only possesses scarce investment value in its own right, but also shares significant synergies with Sino-Ocean in terms of its development layout in core cities and its target customer base of middle- to high-income individuals.”
The collaboration between the two parties represents both a synergy of strengths and a complementarity of ecosystems. Upon its initial equity investment, Sino-Ocean Capital leveraged its industrial advantages to facilitate Sino-Ocean Construction’s undertaking of a key project under Meizhongyihe—the Beijing Qingyuan Children’s Hospital project.
With a total gross floor area exceeding 50,000 square meters, this project was designated as a key priority project in Beijing in 2017. This business collaboration fully demonstrates Sino-Ocean Capital’s role as a “pioneer” and highlights the strategic significance of Sino-Ocean Investment’s dual-wheel drive model, integrating both investment and industrial development.
Regarding the layout of the broader health sector, Wang Honghui, Assistant to the President of Sino-Ocean Group and General Manager of Sino-Ocean Capital, pointed out:
First, it aligns with the people's growing needs for a better life.As the living standards of Chinese people continue to rise, the demand for high-quality medical services is growing day by day. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China stated that “the principal contradiction facing Chinese society has evolved into one between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life.” Yuan Yang Investment’s focus on the health industry stems precisely from the public’s aspiration for a better life.
Second, enhance the value attached to real estate.“In the new era where housing is for living, not for speculation,” homebuyers are paying greater attention to supporting services and resource integration capabilities. Through strategic investments in sectors such as big health and new culture, Sino-Ocean Group has enhanced its service capabilities for homeowners, increased the added value of its properties, and provided a “healthy” livable experience. Following its equity investment in Amcare, Sino-Ocean’s hundreds of thousands of homeowners will be able to access Amcare’s comprehensive medical services at preferential rates.
Third, the two parties share similar philosophies.The Sino-Ocean WELL Health Standard advocates a “people-centric” approach, which aligns closely with Amcare’s philosophy of “providing safe, caring, and professional medical services with reverence for life.” The shared emphasis on health and life provides a solid foundation for collaboration, enabling the two parties to leverage their respective strengths and create mutual value.
Investing in Amcare holds a flagship significance for Sino-Ocean Capital’s strategic layout in the healthcare sector. In the future, Sino-Ocean will continue to delve into how to better achieve harmonious health among people, buildings, and the environment.
