China is facing a huge demographic change that is challenging how it delivers centrally based healthcare to its citizens. Headline statistics are:
- 11.8% of population will be over 65 by 2020
- Over 50% of men smoke
- 92 million live with diabetes
- Life expectancy for those born between 1990 and 2010 increased from 69.3 to 75.7 years
- 9.19 million suffer from dementia
As China seeks to find medical solutions to these issues and develop services to support an ageing population, they are looking for involvement from the international community. This provides a perfect opportunity for those in medical device and digital health sectors in both the UK and China to forge new partnerships.
