Healthcare is fundamentally a sector driven by ethics

外商在中国独资办医院就是以为可以在中国赚到钱，外资毕竟是资本家，他们除了捞钱还是捞钱。可惜他们根本不可能捞到钱，更不可能捞到大钱。外商办医院，他们有专家吗？他们有良心吗？医疗本身是个良心行业。如果有钱就能办成医院，那谁都可以办医院了，你可以出十亿，几十亿，甚至上百亿去办一家医院。出钱不难，难的是你出了大钱，你建了高楼，你买了设备，你办好了一家医院，到头来你却发现你没有那么多的病人。你没有病人，你就只能死路一条。因为一家医院的运营成本太贵了。我到目前为止，我还没有听说任何一家中国的私立医院可以通过办医院来赚到大钱，任何一个懂医疗的行家都不敢通过办医院来赚钱，只有外行才敢办医院。中国的病人永远只会到三甲公立医院看病，未来的90后或00后病人更不好弄。你不可能用资本的方式把病人弄到你的医院。你出了钱，办了医院，你沒有病人，那你就是死路一条。过去那些投了几十亿办的医院，哪一家医院有大量的病人？病人都在公立医院。哪一家可以通过办医院捞到大钱？你可以通过互联网捞钱，你可以通过金融捞钱，你也可以通过资本捞钱，但你永远沒有办法通过办医院捞钱，中国医疗的主场永远都是基层医疗占主导地位。千百年来中国都是一个贫民社会。90％的病人是穷人，99％的的专家在公立医院，你既没有专家，又没有病人，你凭什么可以通过办一家医院得以生存。

Foreign investors who establish wholly-owned hospitals in China often believe they can achieve financial success here. They are typically motivated solely by profit, with their primary goal being to generate revenue.Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely that they will make money, let alone make significant profits.Do foreign-invested hospitals have experts? Do they uphold ethical standards? Healthcare is fundamentally an industry driven by ethics.If simple bidding of money guaranteed the success of a hospital, then anyone could start one—whether investing ten billion, fifty billion, or even a hundred billion.Investing money is not the challenge; the real difficulty lies in the fact that even with a large investment, constructing a high-rise, purchasing equipment, and setting up a hospital, you may still find that you lack sufficient patients.Without patients, you are destined to fail because the operational costs of running a hospital are extremely high.To date, I have not heard of any private hospital in China making substantial profits through its operations. Any expert in the medical field would be cautious about trying to profit from running a hospital; it is typically only outsiders without expertise who attempt it.Chinese patients consistently prefer top-tier public hospitals for their treatment, and attracting patients from future generations, such as those born in the 1990s or 2000s, will be even more challenging.You cannot use capital alone to attract patients to your hospital.If you invest money to set up a hospital but fail to attract patients, you are doomed to fail.Among the hospitals that received billions in investment in the past, which ones have had a large patient base? Most patients continue to go to public hospitals..Which hospitals have made substantial profits from building up hospitals?You can make money through the internet, finance, or other forms of capital, but significant profits from hospital operations alone remain elusive. The primary focus of China's healthcare system will always be on grassroots medical services.For centuries, China has not been characterized by widespread affluence.Ninety percent of patients are from lower-income backgrounds, and 99% of experts work in public hospitals. Without both experts and patients, how can you expect to sustain a hospital?
