Chairman and founder Boon Vanasin said THG and a local Chinese company reached an agreement last week in another joint investment, building a 150-bed hospital worth USD800 million in Weihai, Shandong Province.
With various partners from 2013-14, THG entered into hospital joint ventures in Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hainan and Kunming for a total investment in the period of THB70 bn (USD2 bn).
But Mr Boon said under its new strategy, the company would find a local partner for each part of China in order to expand nationwide more effectively and rapidly. Over the next five years, the company expects to acquire 10-20 hospitals.
