Amcare Corporation, which is backed by U.S. investment giant Warburg Pincus LLC, entered a partnership with a joint venture company owned by American medical services group Mayo Clinic to set up a hospital in Beijing. The facilities will cater primarily to the emerging middle class, according to Amcare Corporation founder Hu Lan.
Hu said that they decided to open the hospital based on earlier market research that pointed to a growing demand for premium family clinics in China.
