Hospital primer: An introduction to China hospitals


Primer for hospital investors
In this document, we highlight basic facts, historical trends, market
dynamics, opportunities and challenges in the China hospital sector.

Hospital reform taking center stage


The Third Plenum has laid out a more market-based healthcare reform
blueprint. We believe drug price cuts were the first phase, and China is
now in the midst of the second phase: hospital reform. We see significant
changes and investment opportunities in Chinas healthcare service
industry, driven by favorable government policy, demographic trend, rising
demand for high quality services, and ample liquidity.

Private hospitals still at nascent stage, but growing the fastest


Sector revenue for China hospitals grew 20% CAGR in 2005-11. Frost &
Sullivan expects total healthcare expenditure to grow at 13.2% CAGR in
2012-17, driven by universal insurance coverage, increased private hospitals
and significant private investment. Revenue for private hospitals grew at
22.6% CAGR in 2008-12, likely outpacing that of total hospitals. Yet private
hospitals revenue and beds hover around 10% in 2012 of the total due to
reimbursement constraint, smaller scale, and the shortage of experienced
physicians. We see more relaxed government policy and rising demand for
affordable high-quality services further boosting private hospital growth.

From small-scale specialty clinics to large-scale general hospitals


Chinas private hospital investment has largely focused on smaller-scale
specialty clinics, led by oncology and ob-gyn. We believe lower barriers-toentry in terms of capital requirement and physician availability is the main
reason for the current industry structure. We see increasing investor
interest and opportunities in large-scale general hospitals (more than 500
beds) in tier II and tier III cities, driven by favorable local government policy
and unmet demand as a result of insurance coverage expansion.

Investing in China healthcare service sector


We conduct a brief analysis on capital requirement, accessibility, and risks
and returns for investing in China hospitals. We conclude a hospital
management company is likely to generate the highest return in the near to
medium term due to lower capex and higher leverage. We see a proper
managerial structure, and a fair and balanced incentive scheme as key to
attract qualified physicians, the core factor in the hospital business.

Hospital reform taking center stage driven by unmet demand


The Third Plenum from the Chinese Communist Party has laid out a more market-based
healthcare reform blueprint. We expect hospital reform to take center stage now and
believe de-administration in public hospitals, and increasing private investment in
private hospitals to be the dominant theme, coupled with centralized control of urban/rural
medical insurance and gradual extension to private hospital coverage.

Three stages of Chinas healthcare reform


We divide Chinas healthcare reform plan and progress into three stages. We think drug
price control was the first phase of the reform, including revision of national drug
reimbursement lists (NDRL), NDRC cost investigation, and expansion of essential drug lists
(EDLs). We are now in the midst of the second phase of the reform, targeting Chinas
largest healthcare service providers, the public hospitals. We expect to see deadministration of Chinas public hospital system, notably leaning more towards a marketbased strategy by shifting focus to service quality and efficiency. We also expect private
hospitals to take larger role, fueled by governments supportive policy and a centralized
control of insurance management programs.

Demand for quality medical services fuels hospital growth


For the past three decades (1982-2012), Chinas total healthcare expenditure jumped to
Rmb2,891 bn in 2012, 163X of Rmb17.8 bn in 1982, growing at 18.5% CAGR, according to
National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC). In the meantime, healthcare
spending per person jumped 122X, far outstripping per capita GDPs 73X).

China: Healthcare

However, the growth of medical resources fell significantly short of expenditure growth.
Overall healthcare institutions grew 1.19X, of which the total number of hospitals grew
only 2.21X. The number of private healthcare institutions is on the rise while the number of
public hospitals is declining as a result of the change in ownership structure (see page 16),
in our view. The number of medical practitioners grew 1.31X (doctors: 2.00X and nurses:
4.43X), suggesting a resource shortage in healthcare institutions. Medical beds grew 2.51X,
with beds in hospitals growing 3.24X. Given the unmet demand, we see significant growth
and investment opportunities in Chinas healthcare service industry.

Private hospitals saw strong growth and market share gain


Rising share of private hospitals
Increasing government funding and insurance expansion are leading to rising demand for
service efficiency and quality. A regulatory constraint on public hospital expansion offers
significant opportunities for private hospitals.
The number of private hospitals has been growing at 18% CAGR in 2003-12, reaching
10,795 by the end of September 2013, accounting for 45% of the total 24,222 hospitals in
China. However, the number of beds in private hospitals accounts for 10.2% of the
total hospital beds, at 0.58 mn vs. 5.14mn beds in public hospitals in 2012. Exhibit 6
summarizes key differences between public and private hospitals.
Despite the higher number of private hospitals vs. public hospitals, total revenue
contribution from private hospitals remains small (7% as of 2012). However, growth in the
number of private hospitals was maintained at high teens vs. single digit for public
hospitals. Specialty clinics dominate the private healthcare service sector, with oncology
leading the growth.

China: Healthcare

Public hospitals dominate Chinas healthcare service industry, with about 86% of total
hospital beds in operation and more than 90% of total hospital revenue in China in 2012.
Around 73% of public hospitals are owned by the central and local governments, 25% are
owned by SOEs (state-owned enterprises), and 2% are owned by the military. Compared
with the public hospitals, the average scale of private hospitals is small and many are
specialty hospitals. The following chart sets forth a comparison of key metrics of public and
private hospitals in China in 2012.

Service quality and efficiency to drive performance


Key areas of hospital reform

De-administration: Separate hospital administrative/supervisory function from


operational management, shifting to a more market-based system.

Incentive scheme: Tie employee/physicians compensation to key performance


measures related to overall service quality and efficiency of the hospitals.

Change in ownership structure: Allow key management/physicians to take


ownership of the hospitals, notably, management buyout, transfer of SOE stake to
employees or other related private parties.

Major public hospital reform policy


In 2010, the government selected 17 cities as pilot cities for public hospital reform, and
these cities have then undertaken different measures and implemented various trial
policies. For example, Beijing issued the Certain Policies on Further Encouraging and
Guiding Private Capital to Invest in Medical Institutions (Beijing 18 items) in 2012,
encouraging private capital to participate in the public hospital reform through co-investing,
acquisitions among others. The Beijing government has also exhibited a preference for
private enterprises with good reputation, extensive hospital operational experience, and
successful track record to participate in public hospital reform.
We see Private Public Partnership (PPP) as the main strategy to gain access to Chinas
public hospitals. The Chinese government strives to reform public hospitals, yet still
preserving the nature of public welfare and the value of state-owned assets. Hence, PPP
appears to be more effective approach in the near to medium term as it does not change
the ownership of the hospital assets or the not-for-profit nature of the public hospitals,
while generating return by leveraging the public service platform and delivering improved
operational efficiency with minimum capital requirement.
In Chinas 12th Five-Year Plan (FYP) published in 2012 by the State Council, the Chinese
government reiterated its decision to support private investment in the healthcare service
industry, aiming to increase the number of beds in operation in private hospitals to c.20%
of the total by 2015.
In 2013, the State Council issued Certain Opinions on Promoting the Development of
Healthcare Services on October 14 to further promote hospital reform as part of overall
healthcare reform. The circular encompasses the optimization of healthcare service
resources and the acceleration of public hospital reform, which encourages the local
government to seek various approaches in meeting its public health service provider
function, including establishing new hospitals, privatizing public hospitals and outsourcing
the management of public hospitals to private hospital management companies. On the
other hand, for for-profit hospitals, the circular further lowered the threshold for access and
relaxed restrictions on the requirement on the number, scale, and location of these private
hospitals.

Investing in Chinas healthcare service sector


We see increasing interest in Chinas healthcare service sector driven by favorable policy
tailwind and demographic trends. Although hospital reform/hospital privatization remains
at its infancy, we highlight a few key areas:

Barriers-to-entry is a major constraint: Regulatory approval and extensive


capital requirement will limit the number of entrants.

Public hospitals offer better patient access: It is easier to invest and gain access
to private hospitals than public hospitals. However, public hospitals offer better
access to patients and a bigger addressable market. Major tradeoffs in investing in
Chinas public hospitals are the challenges of managing employees in stateowned enterprises, and changing the corporate structure, incentive scheme and
performance measures. More importantly, the not-for-profit and social function
served by the public hospitals may also limit the return of private investment.

Balance between for-profit vs. not-for-profit: Although both types of hospitals


are able to generate profit, the key difference is that not-for-profit hospitals in
general are not allowed to distribute profits back to shareholders, meaning notfor-profit hospital either leave retained earnings on their balance sheets or reinvest back into the business. This is a major issue for investing in Chinas not-forprofit hospitals, unless the local governments are willing to subsidize returns in
other forms to compensate the private investor. In the case of public not-for-profit
hospitals, they are often required to return the profit to the state. We believe this
is the main cause of high spending and high cost structure in large public
hospitals in China.

Tug of war between payback period and long-term returns: Building a private
hospital from scratch offer better visibility and long-term growth prospects. It may
also allow investor to enjoy asset appreciation in the long run. However, higher
cost and longer payback period due to heavy capital investment may lead to lower
return in the short to medium term.

Hospital management tends to generate the highest return: Our analysis of


capital requirement, accessibility, risk and returns, and other aspects related to
hospital investment (see Exhibit 39) suggests that hospital management offers the
best return in the near to medium term, helped by light capex, high leverage and
economy of scale.

Key challenges in investing in Chinas hospital service sector


Resources constraint: Shortage of medical professionals
We think the key challenge of operating a hospital is the shortage of medical professionals.
According to World Health Organization (WHO), China has a physician density of 1.456
physicians/1,000 population in 2010, which is a rather low level compared with 2.14 for
Japan, 2.42 for US, and 3.689 for Germany. There are more than 1 million medical school
graduates per year in China, but only one in six will become a doctor as a result of the
shortage of medical institutions, limited new position openings, and low compensation
level compared to other more market-based professions, e.g., a pharmaceutical sales
representative etc.

Employees benefit structure: SOE vs. private


Doctors prefer to work for large-scale public hospitals, as these hospitals often provide
more advanced academic training programs, better platforms and facilities/equipment for
more complex surgeries/treatments. Moreover, the physicians certification and insurance
provided by employers are also important factors for a doctor to take into consideration
when choosing between public and private hospitals.

Hospital ownership vs. investment: Not-for-profit vs. for-profit


As for investing in Chinas private hospital market, private equity investors often would
look for a balance between not-for-profit and for-profit hospitals.
Not-for-profit hospitals are often able to receive other benefits from the government to
support their commitment to serve public needs and enjoy the advantage of expanded
government insurance funds. However, not-for-profit hospitals have to comply with
government pricing measures, and shareholders are not allowed to share in the retained
profits.
For-profit hospitals, on the other hand, often have a flexible pricing strategy and can return
profits to shareholders. However, the tradeoff is a smaller addressable market and limited
state insurance coverage.

Limited access to capital


Last but not least, limited access to capital hinders private investment in hospital business,
in our view. Building a hospital generally costs a few hundred millions or more with five to
eight years to break even. The strict bank lending policy in China does not allow a hospital
owner to borrow money using the hospital as collateral which also makes this type of
investment less attractive.
In summary, we see challenges as well as opportunities in Chinas private hospital market.
We think the hospital management model offers the best return given low capital
requirement in the near to medium term. We believe targeting retired medical
professionals and offering partnerships may help to solve the talent shortage in operating
private hospitals.

Unlike the Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance Program (UEBMI), for which urban
workers and their employers are required to make contributions, the Urban Resident Basic
Medical Insurance Program (URBMI), and New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme
(NRCMS) rely on government subsidies and personal contributions. The following table
sets forth certain information regarding each insurance program. We expect rising
government subsidies will add to higher balances for the three funds for the next few years.

Chinese government has been striving to establish a universal medical insurance system
since 2009. In China, government insurance programs mainly consist of the UEBMI, URBMI,
and NRCMS. By the end of 2012, 99% of the total registered population in China were
covered by one of three governmental insurance programs, compared to 85.3% at the end
of 2008 (Exhibit 46).
Total funding of three medical insurance programs (UEBMI, URBMI, NRCMS) reached
Rmb795.2 bn in 2012, and Frost & Sullivan expects it to reach Rmb2,692 bn in 2017 (Exhibit
48).

Disclosure Appendix
Reg AC
We, Wei Du, Ph.D and Li Yu, hereby certify that all of the views expressed in this report accurately reflect our personal views about the subject
company or companies and its or their securities. We also certify that no part of our compensation was, is or will be, directly or indirectly, related to
the specific recommendations or views expressed in this report.

Investment Profile
The Goldman Sachs Investment Profile provides investment context for a security by comparing key attributes of that security to its peer group and
market. The four key attributes depicted are: growth, returns, multiple and volatility. Growth, returns and multiple are indexed based on composites
of several methodologies to determine the stocks percentile ranking within the region's coverage universe.
The precise calculation of each metric may vary depending on the fiscal year, industry and region but the standard approach is as follows:
Growth is a composite of next year's estimate over current year's estimate, e.g. EPS, EBITDA, Revenue. Return is a year one prospective aggregate
of various return on capital measures, e.g. CROCI, ROACE, and ROE. Multiple is a composite of one-year forward valuation ratios, e.g. P/E, dividend
yield, EV/FCF, EV/EBITDA, EV/DACF, Price/Book. Volatility is measured as trailing twelve-month volatility adjusted for dividends.

Quantum
Quantum is Goldman Sachs' proprietary database providing access to detailed financial statement histories, forecasts and ratios. It can be used for
in-depth analysis of a single company, or to make comparisons between companies in different sectors and markets.

GS SUSTAIN
GS SUSTAIN is a global investment strategy aimed at long-term, long-only performance with a low turnover of ideas. The GS SUSTAIN focus list
includes leaders our analysis shows to be well positioned to deliver long term outperformance through sustained competitive advantage and
superior returns on capital relative to their global industry peers. Leaders are identified based on quantifiable analysis of three aspects of corporate
performance: cash return on cash invested, industry positioning and management quality (the effectiveness of companies' management of the
environmental, social and governance issues facing their industry).

Ratings, coverage groups and views and related definitions


Buy (B), Neutral (N), Sell (S) -Analysts recommend stocks as Buys or Sells for inclusion on various regional Investment Lists. Being assigned a Buy

or Sell on an Investment List is determined by a stock's return potential relative to its coverage group as described below. Any stock not assigned as
a Buy or a Sell on an Investment List is deemed Neutral. Each regional Investment Review Committee manages various regional Investment Lists to a
global guideline of 25%-35% of stocks as Buy and 10%-15% of stocks as Sell; however, the distribution of Buys and Sells in any particular coverage
group may vary as determined by the regional Investment Review Committee. Regional Conviction Buy and Sell lists represent investment
recommendations focused on either the size of the potential return or the likelihood of the realization of the return.
Return potential represents the price differential between the current share price and the price target expected during the time horizon associated
with the price target. Price targets are required for all covered stocks. The return potential, price target and associated time horizon are stated in each
report adding or reiterating an Investment List membership.
Coverage groups and views: A list of all stocks in each coverage group is available by primary analyst, stock and coverage group at
http://www.gs.com/research/hedge.html. The analyst assigns one of the following coverage views which represents the analyst's investment outlook
on the coverage group relative to the group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Attractive (A). The investment outlook over the following 12
months is favorable relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Neutral (N). The investment outlook over the
following 12 months is neutral relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Cautious (C). The investment outlook over
the following 12 months is unfavorable relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation.
Not Rated (NR). The investment rating and target price have been removed pursuant to Goldman Sachs policy when Goldman Sachs is acting in an
advisory capacity in a merger or strategic transaction involving this company and in certain other circumstances. Rating Suspended (RS). Goldman

Sachs Research has suspended the investment rating and price target for this stock, because there is not a sufficient fundamental basis for
determining, or there are legal, regulatory or policy constraints around publishing, an investment rating or target. The previous investment rating and
price target, if any, are no longer in effect for this stock and should not be relied upon. Coverage Suspended (CS). Goldman Sachs has suspended
coverage of this company. Not Covered (NC). Goldman Sachs does not cover this company. Not Available or Not Applicable (NA). The
information is not available for display or is not applicable. Not Meaningful (NM). The information is not meaningful and is therefore excluded.

General disclosures
This research is for our clients only. Other than disclosures relating to Goldman Sachs, this research is based on current public information that we
consider reliable, but we do not represent it is accurate or complete, and it should not be relied on as such. We seek to update our research as
appropriate, but various regulations may prevent us from doing so. Other than certain industry reports published on a periodic basis, the large
majority of reports are published at irregular intervals as appropriate in the analyst's judgment.
Goldman Sachs conducts a global full-service, integrated investment banking, investment management, and brokerage business. We have
investment banking and other business relationships with a substantial percentage of the companies covered by our Global Investment Research
Division. Goldman, Sachs & Co., the United States broker dealer, is a member of SIPC (http://www.sipc.org).
Our salespeople, traders, and other professionals may provide oral or written market commentary or trading strategies to our clients and our
proprietary trading desks that reflect opinions that are contrary to the opinions expressed in this research. Our asset management area, our
proprietary trading desks and investing businesses may make investment decisions that are inconsistent with the recommendations or views
expressed in this research.
The analysts named in this report may have from time to time discussed with our clients, including Goldman Sachs salespersons and traders, or may
discuss in this report, trading strategies that reference catalysts or events that may have a near-term impact on the market price of the equity
securities discussed in this report, which impact may be directionally counter to the analyst's published price target expectations for such stocks. Any
such trading strategies are distinct from and do not affect the analyst's fundamental equity rating for such stocks, which rating reflects a stock's
return potential relative to its coverage group as described herein.
We and our affiliates, officers, directors, and employees, excluding equity and credit analysts, will from time to time have long or short positions in,
act as principal in, and buy or sell, the securities or derivatives, if any, referred to in this research.
This research is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security in any jurisdiction where such an offer or solicitation would be
illegal. It does not constitute a personal recommendation or take into account the particular investment objectives, financial situations, or needs of
individual clients. Clients should consider whether any advice or recommendation in this research is suitable for their particular circumstances and, if
appropriate, seek professional advice, including tax advice. The price and value of investments referred to in this research and the income from them
may fluctuate. Past performance is not a guide to future performance, future returns are not guaranteed, and a loss of original capital may occur.
Fluctuations in exchange rates could have adverse effects on the value or price of, or income derived from, certain investments.
Certain transactions, including those involving futures, options, and other derivatives, give rise to substantial risk and are not suitable for all investors.
Investors should review current options disclosure documents which are available from Goldman Sachs sales representatives or at
http://www.theocc.com/about/publications/character-risks.jsp. Transaction costs may be significant in option strategies calling for multiple purchase
and sales of options such as spreads. Supporting documentation will be supplied upon request.
