MMRGlobal and Unis-Tonghe Joint Venture Announces Chinese Government Investment in Personal Health Records

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 10, 2013) -   MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTCQB: MMRF) ("MMR") today announced that through its China Joint Venture, Unis-Tonghe MMR International Health Management Service Co., Ltd., with JV partner Unis-Tonghe Technology (Zhengzhou) Co., Ltd. ("UNIS"), the Company is participating in the Chinese government's building of health information technology systems that will, among other things, exchange Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) data to Personal Health Records (PHRs). The project will start in Henan province and Xinjiang province, which have over 100 million inhabitants, and will utilize MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record products and services. Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission released the "Primary Health Care Institutions Management Information System Construction Project," which calls for extensive programs to digitize Electronic Health Records for its citizens. According to the report, the Commission has arranged 1.25 billion RMB for the construction of primary health care information technology for 29 provinces, to include primary health care institution management information systems and centralized procurement of drugs. The MMR/UNIS Joint Venture is chartered to develop medical information management software, medical information technology software, health records management systems, and provision related services, including MMRGlobal's Personal Health Record systems. The business is allowed to offer its products and services to the Chinese government, hospitals, health care facilities and to the general public.

On April 24, 2013, Robert H. Lorsch, MMRGlobal CEO, hosted Luo Jianhui, Unisoft Group/Unis-Tonghe Technology Vice President and Chairman, and jointly announced that the two companies were in the process of finalizing a new design for a recently announced Henan government medical project, which plans on using a Chinese version of the MMR Personal Health Record provisioned through the Joint Venture. The system also includes two-way provider and patient connectivity with any EMR or EHR system as well as an integrated HL7 interface and the ability to populate data directly to the patient including lab test results, medication lists and other discrete data. The two companies are also discussing a separate venture where they would jointly sell to the global Chinese market wherever MMR holds its patents. That version will also be used for the Primary Health Care Institutions Management Information System Construction Project.

The Joint Venture was formally submitted for approval to the Chinese government in 2011 after which Unis-Tonghe MMR International Health Management Service Co., Ltd. received its Articles of Association and licenses in 2012 to operate in China through 2042. The Chinese government has mandated regulations and initiatives for health care including health IT, which include financial incentives that are similar to those in the U.S. and should help drive EMR and PHR revenues to the Joint Venture. The two companies have agreed that the Joint Venture will be headquartered in the Unisplendour Cloud Industrial Park, in the city of Zhengzhou, in Henan Province.
