China Opens the Door for Medical Care Technologies Inc.

BEIJING, June 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical Care Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: MDCE), a rapidly growing children's healthcare service provider, announced today that it is set to open its first of a string of planned pediatric health and wellness centers before the end of its fiscal year 2011.

As China works toward a landmark healthcare reform program, which is planned to be fully implemented by 2020, one of its aims is to improve the supply of healthcare by the easing of government regulations for foreign investment in private healthcare services.  This move was made to relieve some of the burden on state funding, with the private health sector catering for the more affluent element of the country's population (The State Council of China, January 2011).  The new policies are crucial for ensuring increased demand for medical services is met as the country industrializes and urbanizes, said Zhou Qiren, director of the China Center for Economic Research (CCER) at Peking University.

As Medical Care Technologies, Inc. prepares to open its flagship children's healthcare center doors only a few short months away in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, discussions have now begun to open more children's health facilities in the bigger cities.  Management now hopes to take advantage of the eased restrictions to open private children's health and wellness centers in major cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai and, second-tier cities like Guangzhou and Tianjin. The Company plans to open, staff and operate two more pediatric health facilities in 2012.

Lured by roughly 300 million-strong emerging middle class, the Company has geared their health services program to include state-of-the-art equipment, cleanliness of the facilities, top-quality healthcare for young children, and overall warm and caring customer service for the families that are up to western nations' standards. Surveys show that more than 80 percent of the middle class Chinese consumers are dissatisfied with customer service in public healthcare and are willing to pay up to seven times more for private than public health services (American Business Journal, April, 2011).  Management expects its children's centers to serve roughly a minimum of 300 patients weekly, generating an estimated $30-40 million Yuan Renminbi (RMB) in revenues per location, which translates to approximately $4.5 to $6 million U.S. Dollars in revenues per location yearly.

"This is an amazing time for us," stated Ning Wu, Chief Executive Officer of Medical Care Technologies Inc. "This news is truly welcomed and comes at a key phase of our growth. This fits in with our business model and we feel certain the healthcare reform initiatives will spur our infrastructural growth well beyond our initial estimations for at least the next 10 years."
