Healthcare Company Hopes to Trim Chinese Waistlines

A healthcare company, Dynacq Healthcare Inc. has taken on the job of trimming the waistlines of the Chinese, where men and women ages 18-24 have had a weight increase of 146.2 percent in the years between 1992 and 2002. The obesity is believed to be caused by the increase in prosperity of the country over the last 20 years.

Dynacq Healthcare has plans to increase the number of bariatric surgeries in China by more than 60 percent over the fiscal year 2006. They also plan on reducing costs of such programs as China has no national healthcare program and few individuals are insured.

In a joint venture with DeAn Corporation in China, Dynacq aspires to design, construct and own the Shanghai DeAn Hospital in Shanghai, China, where such surgeries will be done. Dynacq plans on financing the “China Project” by forming a new company that will fund the operation.

In addition to its bariatric services, Dynacq hospitals will also offer orthopedic and neurological spine procedures, as well as a sleep laboratory, pain management clinic and an area for minor emergency treatments. The hospital is expected to be up to 150 beds and eight surgical suites for bariatric surgeries, cancer treatments, cardiac catheterization, organ transplant, and obstetrical and gynecological procedures. The company will also like to partner with other businesses to build hotels, convention facilities and living quarters to accommodate the needs of physicians, surgeons, patients and their families in the medical center campus.
