Jiamei plans major growth in smaller cities, rural areas

Country's biggest private chain of dental clinics bullish on oral care market

Jiamei Dental Group, the biggest privately owned chain of dental clinics in China, said it plans to expand in smaller cities and rural areas, and increase its efforts in growing online medical services, because it is bullish on the significant growth potential of the Chinese oral care market.

The company, which has been operating for 23 years, has nearly 100 dental clinics nationwide. It intends to launch more in the next few years, following the government's latest healthcare reform, which has further relaxed restrictions on private capital entering the medical sector.
