The 9th China High-end Healthcare Industry Development Summit which was held in Ramada Plaza Pudong, Shanghai from December 13-14. Mr. John Hicks, AECOM’s Global Head of Healthcare gave a keynote speech on “Collaboration Delivered” at the Summit

“AECOM is founded on collaboration,” emphasized by John, collaboration with our clients, partners and our staff across our business globally.” With six live stories, from AECOM’s strategic visioning on the Oxford University Hospitals masterplan, the Mayo proton beam facility in Arizona, to the recent win in China to provide integrated design services for the 1,000-bed Taikang Chengdu Hospital, John illustrated how collaboration plays a vital part in all AECOM’s projects that not only has added value to and reduced risk for our clients, but also has allowed us to deliver what our clients can imagine via our global network of expertise in complementary to our local capabilities. The final case study in John’s speech on the Guys Cancer Center in London demonstrated exactly that approach.

AECOM envisions healthcare facilities more than just a physical center, they are rather healing environments with a vital obligation to provide patients and families optimal service. AECOM is committed to offer our global expertise and in complement of our local knowledge to contribute to the future development of China’s healthcare industry.

The event gathered government officials, local Health Bureau, prestigious general and specialized hospitals and clinics, high-end services departments from public hospitals, property developers specialized in medical facilities, and other relevant medical services providers to discuss the intelligential advancement, latest technologies, and operational excellence in the industry and to explore future development opportunities in the Chinese high-end healthcare market.
