Lu Chongmao said on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millenniums" that the contract 10 years ago has been inapplicable. Affected by the new crown epidemic and personnel changes, the negotiation process for contract renewal has been blocked, describing it as a "little storm." It is inevitable, admitting that the situation is not ideal, but the two sides are meeting in Shenzhen to discuss.
The hospital encountered many financial challenges in the initial period of operation. The University of Hong Kong needed to advance the salary of its medical school professors to go north for consultations. From 2012 to 2016, it has advanced a total of 600 million yuan.
Lu Chongmao said that the relevant expenses do need to be repaid, but since 2017, the relevant expenses have been repaid in real time.
He also said that the hospital’s financial health has turned into a profitable business in 2018.
