"Medical resources are the driving force for Ping An to actively join the new Founder group." A brokerage analyst told the financial associated press that from the layout investment of Ping An Insurance (Group) Company Of China Ltd(601318) in recent years, it can be found that under the background that the main insurance industry is better than its peers and the layout of science and technology is leading, Ping An is continuously building a medical sector and a healthy ecology.

"But from the overall point of view, the market has always believed that Ping An Insurance (Group) Company Of China Ltd(601318) which firmly holds the Internet Medical entrance has an offline short board, that is, it lacks the most scarce and cutting-edge physical hospital resources." "The restructuring of Founder Group happened to be a rare opportunity for Ping An to make up for its shortcomings at that time," a person from the life insurance industry told the financial associated press

Previously, some voices in the market believed that while helping Founder group "bail out", Ping An did not get much. For example, relying on Peking University and Peking University Medical Department, Peking University Medical Group has a medical service system composed of more than 10 medical institutions, with a total number of beds of more than 10000. Peking University International Hospital, as a flagship hospital, has 1800 approved beds and more than 60 medical clinical and medical technology departments. It is one of the first hospitals in China whose hospital information system has reached level 7 of the American Society for medical information and management systems.

Beida Yixin is a supplier of the first tier of medical informatization in China, involving smart hospitals, regional health, medical + Internet, and has huge medical and health data.

"For Ping An in transition, this is also a new starting point." The above-mentioned life insurance people said that in the past two years, the market has been interpreted as Ping An trying to build a "Chinese version of United Health" according to Ping An's actions.
