Harvard-Linked Hospital Planning to Open Center in China

Posted on by

Massachusetts General Hospital, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, has agreed with potential partners in China to explore a joint venture to build and run a hospital in the country.

The Boston hospital has been engaged in talks with Chinese health-care groups and investors for the past year and signed an agreement last week to continue the planning and due diligence necessary to determine whether to commit to this effort, according to an internal letter obtained by Bloomberg News.

U.S. hospitals and medical schools have begun eyeing China as its economy has developed and demand for health care increases. Government reforms have opened the country to international trade and privatization, and China is making significant investments in the health industry, Massachusetts General said in the letter.

When the opportunity arose to explore a relationship with Chinese partners to jointly create a tertiary medical center in the rapidly growing Pearl River Delta region, where the cities of Hong Kong, Macau and Guangzhou are located, we felt it would be appropriate to look into the possibility more deeply, the hospital executives said in the letter posted yesterday.

Massachusetts General would operate the hospital with Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a local health-care provider. The building, which has a working name of MGH Hospital China, would be located in a special economic development zone on the island of Hengqin, part of the city of Zhuhai. The center would provide clinical care and support research and medical training programs.

These discussions are preliminary, and no final decision is expected until next summer at the earliest, the executives said in the letter.

Massachusetts General officials didnt immediately respond to requests for comment.

Speculation that a Harvard-linked hospital has been preparing to open a branch in the country has swirled since December, when real estate billionaire Hui Ka Yans Evergrande Real Estate Group Ltd. (3333) said it had signed an agreement with a Harvard hospital to build in China. Officials at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston said in February that they were considering such an agreement, and later dropped the idea.

A press release about the Massachusetts General plan was distributed in China last week and has led to coverage in the media there, according to the letter. Brigham and Womens and Massachusetts General are both members of Partners HealthCare system in Boston, which is separate from Harvard with its own board of directors.

Newsweek: Back in Print, Confused as Ever

Posted on by

Dumb arguments against libertarianism are increasing, as guardians of the expansive state begin to worry that the country might actually be trending in a libertarian direction. This may not be the dumbest, but as Nick Gillespie said of a different argument two weeks ago, its the most recent:

The deadly drug war in Long Islands Hempstead ghetto is a harrowing example of free-market, laissez-faire capitalism, with a heavy dose of TEC-9s

Were looking to market, sell and profit off drugs the way any business would handle their product, Tony says. Only our product is illegal, so more precautions need to be taken. Its all systematic and planned, all the positions and responsibilities and assignments. All of thats part of our business strategy. Its usually real smooth and quiet, because thats the best environment for us to make bank. But now, we at war, man. Aint nothing quiet these days.

Deutsch describes the competition between the local Crips and Bloods in terms not usually seen in articles about, say, Apple and Microsoft or Ford and Toyota:

As for strategies, they seem to have settled on a war of attrition, aiming to kill or maim as many of their enemies as possible.

Theyre far better armed and willing to use violence than the smaller neighborhood cliques scattered throughout Nassau County.

Theyre also able to keep out other competitors through use of brute force.
