china medicine on-line limited was incorporated in 1997 to answer the huge need for telemedicine services in china. the main drivers of the demand for these services are the population aging in the country (approximately 19% of china's 1.3b people are over the age of 60 and government has committed itself to taking care of the older population) as well as the need for better medical services as standard of living rises, seeking best diagnosis opinions and incorporation of technology into provision of medical services. while the telemedicine market in china is still in its infancy, china medicine on-line has taken the lead, to become the leading nationwide integrated healthcare network.
