Overview:Healthcare in China
Healthcare expenditure: 4.7% of China’s GDP (1)
2004: more than RMB 759 billion (USD95 billion)
2007: estimated to be more than RMB 1,000 billion (USD 137 billion) (2)
52% directly paid by households
6% of which by commercial health insurance
A national priority
Social health insurance now a reality, but offers basic coverage:
– 1998: basic medical insurance system for urban employees (180 m people covered end 2007)
– 2003: rural cooperative medical system for rural residents (730 million people covered end 2007)
– 2010(3) : target for universal coverage
Significant work on improving hospital administration and delivery

Medical insurance in China: large-scale potential
Growing demand and affordability 70% of affluent and upper mass customers (estimated at 41 million
households by 2010) would consider commercial medical insurance (1)
15% of the 70% would consider expensive next-generation products priced at RMB 7,400 (USD 1,000) p.a.
Consumers want better services
As affluence grows, customers seek better services, such as:
– Shorter waiting time
– Cashless services
– Better pre- and post-admission follow-ups, etc
Opportunities for introduction of new generation products
Market potential for commercial health insurance (including critical illness)
RMB 489 billion (USD 67 billion) in annual premiums (2)

By 2015, China GDP will reach USD8.4 trillion, (excluding exchange rate effect). Of the 5% spent on health, if 1.5% is funded via private medical insurance (excluding critical illness), the market will still reach USD6.3bn (CAGR: 12%)
Between 2007 and 2015, affluent population will increase their demand for supplement scheme on top of social health insurance which will keep expanding. Actual figures in-between vary year by year.

Hospital Providers in China1. Around 300,000 medical providers in the China mainland
2. 4 kinds of medical structures in China mainland: government, joint ventures, foreign owned and private. Approx 90% hospitals are government hospitals
3. Governmental hospitals in China belong to different systems: Ministry of Health (MOH), Ministry of Education (MOE), Army, City, the state etc. Most hospitals are not commercial or service oriented and have no service procedure and thus it can be difficult to build networks
4. Hospitals are divided into 3 grades: grade 3 (best), grade 2 and grade 1. Grade 3 hospitals are found in big cities. Hospitals with the name of “ Peoples’ Hospital” are usually the highest graded hospital
5. Hospitals are graded on the evaluation of the hardware but not service
Slide 16
Current Status
Profitability Poor profitability, particularly on group business due to price competition and unsophisticated data analysis
Claims Management
Limited claims management capabilities leading to inability to contain claim ratios
Risk Management
Undeveloped and fragmented. Lack of sufficiently skilled and experienced insurance expertise
Network Management
Lack of hospital networks that offer better patient services and efficient medical utilisation
What’s standing in the way?Key challenges in China
Slide 17
Swiss Re’s business model goes beyond the traditional reinsurance model
Success in medical (re)insurance demands the ability to operate and exert influence across the medical management and insurance value chains
Professional approaches to product management, claims management and medical provider management are all key success factors
Swiss Re will work, together with its partner organisations, to develop the key components of the value chain that do not currently feature in the local medical insurance markets
