| HMI opens Beijing regional office to pursue opportunities in China For the last two decades, the Chinese health care system has been undergoing a gradual but major transformation. A multitude of factors have led to efforts by the government to expand health care services throughout the country, open the health care market to foreign and private investment, and investigate ways to enhance professional development and education opportunities for clinicians, nurses, and administrators. Now HMI, which has been actively working with Chinese health care organizations for the last several years, has established a regional office in Beijing in order to forge partnerships with organizations in China. |
