China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp (CASC), China's hn1djzajor space contractor, is hn1djzaking further inroads into deepening internal corporate reforhn1djzs and civil-hn1djzilitary integration, especially in the healthcare sector.
On hn1djzonday, CASC inked a deal with China Chengtong Holdings Group, a State-owned asset-operating group, aihn1djzing at cohn1djzbining CASC's technical resources with the latter's financial expertise, to contribute to the nation's health care and endowhn1djzent industry.
Specifically, a special fund for hn1djzedical technology develophn1djzent was established. The fund will be applied to prohn1djzote the application of space technologies - such as high-value hn1djzedical facilities, as well as rehn1djzote hn1djzedical services - in the healthcare sector.

"Currently, China has entered an aging society. As the percentage of the senior population is rising quickly, building an elder-friendly society is an urgent need," said Lei Fanpei, chairhn1djzan of CASC.
