5 Reasons Why Mayo Clinic Dominates Social Media in Healthcare

Healthcare innovation leader Mayo Clinic announced on Wednesday it has entered into a joint venture agreement with Hillhouse Capital, a long-term fundamental equities investment firm to advance the quality of health care in China. By combining Mayo Clinic’s patient care, medical research and education with Hillhouse’s China expertise and healthcare industry partnerships, the collaboration establishes a new company to improve health care delivery and efficiency in China.

“We are excited to collaborate with Hillhouse to provide Mayo Clinic knowledge and guidance to improve the quality of health care to the people of China,” said Paul Limburg, M.D., Medical Director, Mayo Clinic Global Business Solutions. “Our collaboration with Hillhouse extends Mayo Clinic’s reach and is at the core of Mayo Clinic’s mission to inspire hope and healing to people everywhere.”

Recent Chinese Policy Changes Drives Investment in Healthcare

The new venture benefits from recent policy changes by Chinese regulators to encourage private investment in health care. Mayo Clinic and Hillhouse believe that this collaboration presents a unique opportunity to leverage Mayo Clinic’s valuable capabilities in medical technology and management and Hillhouse’s strong in-country knowledge to deliver high-quality health care services to Chinese healthcare providers and patients. “We believe Mayo Clinic has long set the global standard for quality health care and we are excited to work with Mayo Clinic in China,” said Michael Yi, Partner, Hillhouse Capital Group.

Joint Venture Agreement Details

As part of the joint venture agreement, Mayo Clinic will contribute certain health care information and know-how. In addition, Hillhouse and Mayo Clinic will invest capital to fund the new company’s operations. Rushu (Robert) Luo, a Senior Investment Officer at Mayo Clinic and a graduate of Beijing Medical University, will serve as Acting CEO of the new company, which will be based in Beijing. Detailed terms of the agreement were not disclosed. 

Hillhouse Capital Group Overview

According to Crunchbase, Hillhouse owns companies across equity stages, spanning the range from new start-ups to established public companies. We may invest in a company as a start-up and continue to hold it in the portfolio as a public equities investment. This stage-agnostic investment style allows the firm to focus on multi-year results, rather than on quarterly earnings. The firm recently invested in Beijing based BeiGene, a clinical-stage biopharma company focused on discovering and developing innovative, best-in-class, targeted and immuno-oncology drugs that address severe unmet medical needs in a variety of cancer indications.
