A proposal by Robin Li (李彦宏) –founder of Baidu (百度) and an influential figure amongst China’s policymakers– yet again attracted the attention to the Medical Cloud.

Indeed, launched by the Government in 2016; rights and responsibility of data collection, sharing and utilization and cloud management have been regulated, stimulated and outsourced by giving them to the third party companies and SOEs.
“9) We will implement the Healthy China Cloud Service Plan, build an integrated platform for healthcare services, provide remote consultation, remote imaging, remote pathology and remote ECG diagnosis services; and improve the mutual recognition and sharing the mechanism of inspection results.
