04. Century-old Mindset | Joining Hands to Make Further Progress

 “To engaged in medical services, we must have the mindset of a century-old enterprise to grow bigger, have more confidence and adhere to our belief, so as to make further progress.” concluded Mr. Kong Fanxing, Chairman, Executive Director and CEO of Fehorizon and Chairman of Horizon Healthcare.

▲Conclusion by Mr. Kong Fanxing, Chairman, Executive Director and CEO of Fehorizon and Chairman of Horizon Healthcare

Mr. Kong emphasized that the healthcare industry practices medicine in order to help the people, so it must return to the basic needs of the people. Fehorizon seizes the momentum and guides action according to circumstances, striving to establish its own characteristics in the particular market niche. Since the beginning of its engagement in the healthcare industry, our strategic layout has been aiming to bring medical services to places lacking resources, so as to form an effective supplement to public hospitals.

Healthcare is a common cause for all of us. We must turn hospitals into a carrier of services. As a marketized, internationalized and specialized enterprise with an advantageous mechanism and a flexible resource organization system, Fehorizon hopes to overlap the concept and the connotation of services, remove the “physical barrier” of hospitals and the “psychological barrier” of doctors, transform hospitals into an integrated service platform featuring healthcare to meet the needs of local residents, and give play to the “long tail effect” of hospitals. In the future, the healthcare industry of Fehorizon may become a service system to serve the broad masses that transcends medical treatment itself. To benefit more people with medical services is our pursuit in the future. 

Currently, Fehorizon’s healthcare industry has matured. With a long-term operation mindset, we look into the future to create a business form with both economic value and social value. Therefore, we are thinking of taking a step further, so that healthcare can draw more support and attention from the people, and involve more investors and participants to give rise to a greater platform. 

In the end, Mr. Kong thanked the attending guests again, and expressed hopes to further cooperate with colleagues and experts in the industry and gain strength and support from the capital market, so as to promote Horizon Healthcare to realize enterprise value creation and growth, and consolidate the foundation and build up momentum for long-term development.
