Investors develop a sweet spot for Chinese healthcare in 2018

Healthcare continued to be a sweet spot for investment in China, with funds to the tune of 82.6 billion yuan ($12.28 billion) flowing into the sector, up 78.64 percent on an annualized basis, in 2018.

Though much of the investments was fueled by the surging healthcare demands of the country's aging population, it was also aided by people's growing healthcare demand and policy support, said a recent industry report.

The report, published by medical research consultancy vcbeat.net, showed that fundraising in the country's medical sector has grown rapidly from the 6.72 percent seen in 2017 to the current level.
