KI in the News

  In recent years, China's aging population grows quickly and makes domestic elderly care service industry a new focus. The issue for ‘elderly care service agency doesn’t offer medical service, medical institutions can not support the old’ is widely discussed social topic. In 2013, the State Council presented the idea of ‘actively promoting medical-nursing combined elderly care’ in ‘Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Elderly Care services’, and the medical-nursing combined elderly care became the new focus in elderly care field. After two years of development, the domestic implementation of the medical-nursing faced numerous challenges, less than 10% of health care and elderly care institutions can really support the implementation of the medical-nursing in first and second-tier Chinese cities. The high requirements for a professional team and hardware facilities make the medical-nursing difficult. In September of this year, on China International Furniture Fair in National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), Beijing Kang Ai Healthcare Furniture Co.,Ltd. brought KI to China for the first time. KI’s health care furniture environmental standard and customization for medical-nursing attracts great interests from Chinese medical institutions and elderly care service agencies.

  According to the reporter, in Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and other cities, regional governments have introduced a variety of policies to promote the integration of the medical-nursing, but because of the lack of practical experience in the exploration of the medical-nursing, many difficulties appeared in the process. From a hardware perspective, there hasn’t appeared any furniture brand to provide professional facilities for the elderly care institutions; medical facilities support the medical demand but the aspects of elderly care are missing. KI furniture arrival in China would present a lot of experience in this area. Beijing Kang Ai Healthcare Furniture Co.,Ltd. CEO Mr. Guo Xiaofei explained to us that in the United States, KI furniture has invested a long periods of investigation, and cooperated with Atlanta Medical Center, Global Health Innovation Center and other world-renowned medical institutions, with many success stories in medical-nursing solutions. With functional product design, KI takes full consideration for medical demand for the elderlies who are ill or disabled by using ergonomics to provide convenience for the everyday activities. Its material selection upholds the safety and environmental protection purposes in order to secure the maximum period of use. KI products have simple, elegant and comfortable appearance, reflecting humane care for the elderly.

  Beijing Kang Ai Healthcare Furniture Co.,Ltd. signed the exclusive contact with the United States KI furniture, bringing the world's top 10 medical support furniture products to China and caught the industry's attention from a number of professional organizations. Mr. Ye Qi, vice president of the Beikong Medical and Health Industry Groups, said in an interview: ‘Beijing Kang Ai has made great contributions for the extension of medical, elderly care and health management industry chain by introducing KI medical-nursing furniture. At the same time, we see the future of medical-nursing furniture development in KI. Considering KI medical-nursing furniture as a basis, by gathering social funds and expertise, KI will be the first-line medical support furniture brand to push the basic market.’ In addition, the chairman of Fulin Golden Sun Healthy Elderly Care Inc. Miss Huang Xiaorong also accepted the interview, she said: ‘ China's elderly care service industry is now basically divided into three types: home care, community care, and institutional care; home care now accounts for 90% and is our most concern. We see the demand for household products suitable for aging group. Beijing Kang Ai brings the KI medical-nursing furniture products which has mature system including design and applications, etc. As a professional elderly care institutions, we understand KI products better from the elderly perspective, and found that KI’s care for elderly and the details of daily needs are very professional. At the same time, we also see the vision of Beijing Kang Ai for their commitment to health care, education to elderly care, to promote greater involvement of several major markets in cooperation with professional organizations. ’

  The word "Medical-nursing integration" in China has gradually shifted from "popular" to "practice"; in this process, the industry needs a lot of successful experience as a guide in order to establish a medical-nursing model with Chinese characteristics. Beijing Kang Ai has taken an important step in this path. We believe that in the future, there will be appearances of world-class contract furniture brands similar to the KI furniture entering China to provide momentum for the medical-nursing model.
