Health160 and YiHeyNi Forge Strategic Partnership to Jointly Develop Internet Outpatient Centers

On January 19, 2017, Jiuyi 160 and the medical O2O platform Yihe Ni formally entered into a strategic partnership. In the future, both parties will leverage their complementary resources and business synergies to jointly promote the development of healthcare services, focusing on deep cooperation in areas such as medical system product services, internet-based O2O healthcare services, the joint establishment of internet outpatient centers, and capital operations. Liao Xinbo, former Inspector of the Guangdong Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission; Luo Ningzheng, CEO of Jiuyi 160; and Peng Lin, Chairman of Guangzhou Yihe Ni Clinical Center, attended the signing ceremony together.

Luo Ningzheng, CEO of Shenzhen Ningyuan Technology, stated: “In 2017, Health 160 will focus on developing its online hospital services.“Guangzhou, as the region with the most abundant medical resources in South China, holds significant strategic importance for 160.com. The online hospital facilitates doctor-patient and patient-patient interactions by connecting hospitals, physicians, and patients, thereby making medical services internet-based and intelligent. Yihe Ni possesses an excellent medical technology team and has established a multidisciplinary team of medical experts. This organizational structure can effectively promote multi-site practice for physicians and innovate medical service models. Moreover, it is particularly noteworthy that Yihe Ni has extensive experience in medical services and keen insight into internet healthcare products. Adhering to its strategy of openness, connectivity, and ecosystem building, 160.com hopes that both parties will work together to improve the medical treatment environment for the Chinese people and enhance the level of medical services.”

Peng Lin, Chairman of Guangzhou Yihe Medical Center, has many years of clinical experience. He candidly acknowledges that the current state of healthcare leaves the government, hospitals, and patients dissatisfied. Only by integrating the medical expertise of public hospitals with the service standards of private institutions, adopting a patient-centric perspective, and reengineering the care journey can we achieve genuine patient satisfaction and enable efficient healthcare delivery.

Furthermore, opportunities in the internet era are rare. Yihe is committed to providing the public with the best medical services. By joining hands with Jiankang 160 to leverage complementary strengths, our future collaboration is sure to thrive.

“In fact, the transformation of healthcare delivery models is a trend of the times. Currently, the government encourages physicians to practice at multiple sites and advocates for diversified service models. Mature mobile health companies like ‘Jiuyi 160’ connect doctors and patients via the internet, optimizing the allocation of medical resources. Private healthcare institutions such as ‘Yihe Ni’ leverage online platforms to help physicians realize their professional value and increase their income, while enabling patients to experience top-tier medical treatment. Meanwhile, these efforts are fostering new healthcare models aligned with historical development trends, presenting considerable prospects,” said Liao Xinbo, former Inspector of the Guangdong Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission.

As a well-known internet healthcare service brand in China, JiuYi 160 not only offers comprehensive “Internet + Healthcare” information solutions for hospitals but also provides targeted mobile products for patients and doctors, boasting extensive experience in the field of internet healthcare. YiheNi, on the other hand, has entered the market through minimally invasive and day-case surgeries, establishing diagnostic and treatment centers along with day-surgery operating rooms to focus on the day-surgery market, leveraging abundant resources in offline medical services. Industry experts have hailed this collaboration as a “match made in heaven,” particularly the joint establishment of an internet outpatient center, which directly addresses the pain point of incomplete business models in internet healthcare and represents another significant step for JiuYi 160 in building a closed-loop mobile healthcare system.

In the realm of medical system product business, both parties will collaborate by leveraging the R&D resources of the Jiuyi 160 medical system and the medical service expertise of Yihe Ni, to jointly develop medical system products and provide information system support for the operation of their respective internet hospital businesses.

In the realm of O2O internet healthcare services, we leverage the online user traffic and brand strength of Health 160, combined with the high-quality offline medical resources and services of Yihe Ni, to create innovative internet healthcare solutions. Meanwhile, both parties will jointly establish internet healthcare outpatient centers in Shenzhen and other regions, and engage in capital cooperation in areas such as finance, strategic equity investment, and joint medical funds.

It is reported that Yihe has over 100,000 registered users. Its diagnostic and treatment centers have served more than 1,000 patients, achieving a 100% patient satisfaction rate and zero postoperative complications. The platform collaborates online with more than ten medical O2O companies, while its offline network includes 16 partner institutions, comprising grassroots public hospitals and private healthcare providers. Commercial insurance institutions are also expected to join the platform in stages.

As a leading internet healthcare service platform in China, JiuYi 160 has connected with more than 3,000 large hospitals across the country, covering over 200 cities. The platform currently has nearly 500,000 affiliated physicians, serves more than one million users daily, and has provided a cumulative total of 250 million online medical consultations to patients nationwide, with over 100 million real-name registered users. Last December, JiuYi 160 officially launched the 160 Pharmacy, entering the pharmaceutical e-commerce sector and opening its first brick-and-mortar pharmacy. This collaboration with YiHeNi will further enrich JiuYi 160’s offline resources.
