UIG is leading a consortium of global
investors in developing a US$2.94B medical city, known
as Beijing
China-US International Medical Center ("BIMC")
in Beijing, China.
Beijing
China-US International Medical Center, Inc. (¡°BIMC¡±)
is a corporation that provides healthcare services
to both domestic and international communities in
Beijing. The institution is a joint-venture in collaboration
with Harvard Medical International, Inc., a Massachusetts
non-profit subsidiary corporation of Harvard University,
Boston, Massachusetts (¡°HMI¡±), first-tier Chinese
healthcare institutions, and domestic and foreign
institutional investors.
HMI is collaborating with private
healthcare providers to build medical and educational
centers in each continental region around the world.
At present, the Middle East center is in Dubai, and
the Asia center will be in Beijing. The Middle East
center is Dubai Healthcare City which is currently
under construction. Further information is available
on its website http://www.dhcc.ae.
The objective is to create a world-class
healthcare provider by establishing the most advanced
medical center in Beijing, China. BIMC
intends to deliver the highest quality, patient focused
healthcare to both domestic and international communities
in Beijing, conduct leading-edge biomedical and life
science research, and offer first-class medical education
to physicians, scientists, nurses, and allied health
professionals.
The Municipal Government of Beijing
considers BIMC
as a critical project for the City of Beijing. Private
hospital licenses are rarely granted, and BIMC
is the first large branded private hospital in Beijing.
Copies of official letters of authorization and approval
from both the Municipal Government of Beijing and
the Central Government of China are available.
The BIMC
consists of 3 primary components:
1. The International Hospital

with 7 specialties ¨C cardiology, oncology, neurology,
