Wuhan Huakang Century Medical Co, based in the East Lake High-tech Development Zone (also known as Optics Valley of China, or OVC), was listed on the ChiNext market of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on Jan 28, becoming the first company in Hubei to go public in 2022. It is also Wuhan's 94th and OVC's 92nd firm to be listed.

Huakang Medical offers comprehensive services related to the modern medical purification system, building many kinds of special facilities for hospitals, including operating theaters, intensive care units, and reproductive health centers.

It has rendered its services to many of Wuhan's tertiary Class-A hospitals, and has made significant contributions to Wuhan's COVID-19 fight back in 2020.

"It is very hard to start businesses, but it is worthwhile, as we're able to provide a safer and more comfortable environment for medical workers and patients in order to raise doctors' work efficiency and reduce patients' pain," said Tan Pingtao, president of Huakang Medical.

Tan also shared the firm's intention to shoulder more social responsibilities and support those in need.

Liu Jie, director of OVC's administrative committee, addressed the ceremony celebrating the firm's public listing. According to her speech, the valley is looking forward to more breakthroughs by Huakang Medical and hopes it can grow into a global top enterprise in the medical purification service area. The valley will continue to optimize its business environment to support the firm's development.
