Australian-owned Aspen Medical has signed an agreement to help the Zhejiang Medical and Health Group (ZMH) to expand the expansion of medical facilities and services in the eastern province of Zhejiang.
Aspen Medical will collaborate with ZMH to enhance the rehabilitation service capability and aged care services in hospitals and community clinics ensuring commonality of clinical delivery standards across facilities. The company will also develop and deliver applied clinical training to medical and nursing personnel within the hospitals and clinics which complements their current training and qualifications.
“This is our first international strategic alliance and are expecting strong support from Aspen Medical in terms of innovative medical solutions to assist in establishing long-term benefits for the province,” said Dongquan Zhang, general manager of ZMH.
ZMH is seeking to expand the capacity of their current hospitals from the existing 1,700 bed spaces to between 3,500 and 4,000 bed spaces within the next three years. ZMH is also seeking to build 80-100 primary clinics within the province.
