On October 19th, a relevant Google executive indicated at the WEB2.0 Summit that Google's health channel would begin operations early next year. Meanwhile, in the US, Yahoo! loudly announced that they have replaced Google as the search service provider for a health website.
Back in China, the focus of investment on health sites is also gradually increasing. In late September, 39 Health Network formally took over the health channel of China.com. In the coming year, 39 Health Network will be solely responsible for the content and operation of the health channel of China.com. Although both parties did not disclose the specific amount of cooperation, according to Qin Gang, co-president of 39 Health Network, this is a substantial investment.
