A report from Section 9 of Daily News on September 23, 2020:

Recently, Cowell Internet Hospital, the first self-built Internet hospital in TEDA, was officially approved, indicating the official start of operation of the Cowell National Internet Remote Diagnosis and Treatment Headquarters in TEDA. At the same time, Cowell Internet Hospital will make full use of the needs and operational advantages of nearly 10,000 offline physical pharmacies of Cowell Health, integrate online and offline pharmacies using Cowell Health Pro and drug delivery mini program, and provide patients with “one-stop” services integrating diagnose, prescribing, drug selling, drug delivering, payment, and health management.

In 2020, the Internet medical industry meets an opportunity of explosive growth. The demand for medical e-commerce, online consultation and other services increases sharply, and the Internet medical market will exceed RMB one trillion, with more than 100 million users. “In order to support the gathering of medical and health companies supported by Internet and big data technologies in TEDA, and to create an explosive growth point in the new economic field represented by the “Internet medical” industry, TEDA helps high-quality projects to obtain Internet hospital operation qualifications, and continuously explore and promote new modes and new business using the pilot advantages so as to realize rapid development of the industry,” said an in-charge person of TEDA.

It is learned that the high-quality business environment of TEDA is an important reason for Cowell’s in-depth deployment in TEDA again. “Cowell Internet Hospital is strongly supported by the TEDA government. Making full use of the independent approval authority for medical institutions and Internet hospitals in TEDA, we took only more than three months to complete the processes from offline site selection, offline medical institution qualification to Internet hospital qualification. The professionalism and high efficiency of the TEDA service teams left us a very deep impression,” said an in-charge person of Cowell.
