Zhejiang University-affiliated hospital to use Alipay for patients' bill payments
Online Edition
ALIPAY, the popular payment service by e-commerce giant Alibaba Group, said yesterday that the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital affiliated with the School of Medicine at Zhejiang University has integrated its registration and payment service with Alipay's application on smartphones.
Alipay first unveiled the partnership to allow users to pay for registration fees, diagnostic and treatment charges and medical fees through its smartphone application in May this year. Hospital staff can save time by not taking payment from patients. Additionally, consumers can pick up their medical reports when the notification is sent to their mobile phones.
Alipay also works with the hospital's registration system to thwart registration ticket scalpers in order to allow hospital resources to be better allocated towards those really in need. It works with five grade A hospitals in Guangzhou, Yunnan, Jiangxi, Wenzhou and Hangzhou, and intends to expand the collaboration to about 50 domestic hospitals.
Alibaba joined with venture capital firm Yunfeng Capital earlier this year to make a US$170 million investment in Hong Kong-listed information service provider CITIC 21Century Co Ltd to combine the latter's capabilities in pharmaceutical database and infrastructure to provide innovative health-care services.
