Investment thesis
The firm invests at the early stage in China's digital healthcare sector, believing digital technology will drive a new wave of medical innovation. It focuses on three infrastructure pillars — efficient access, innovative payment, and efficiency improvement — to activate new healthcare demand, build multi-tiered lifecycle coverage, and improve the efficiency of high-quality medical supply. It sees opportunities emerging from China's aging population, high care costs, inefficient distribution channels, and ongoing regulatory reform, positioning China as potentially the world's largest market for digital health innovation.
