YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Reducing Exposure to Import and Supply Disruptions
- With trade flows exceeding 300% of GDP and most devices sourced overseas, Hong Kong providers remain exposed to freight shocks, FX shifts and single-source shortages.
- YCP combines supplier-risk mapping, should-cost analysis and dual-sourcing plans to protect supply continuity while preserving quality and margins.
Meeting Rising Demand Across a Concentrated Care System
- People aged 65+ represent over one fifth of Hong Kong’s population, while the Hospital Authority delivers about 90% of inpatient care, concentrating demand pressure.
- YCP translates demand signals into category strategies, inventory policies and supplier models that balance clinical availability, working capital and total cost.
Aligning Compliance, Quality and Tender Requirements
- MDACS remains a voluntary listing system, yet it classifies devices across four risk classes; suppliers must manage evidence, labelling, vigilance and tender needs.
- YCP connects regulatory, quality and procurement teams through practical operating models that strengthen dossier readiness, supplier governance and market access.
Creating End-to-End Visibility Across Care Networks
- The Hospital Authority’s 43 hospitals, 49 specialist outpatient clinics and 74 general outpatient clinics make lot visibility, replenishment and cold-chain control complex.
- YCP designs visibility, demand-planning and distribution controls that enable faster exception response, lower expiry risk and more reliable delivery.
