Singaporean investors eye health care in Vietnam

Vietnam holds attractive potentials in health services for Singaporean investors to explore and cooperate with domestic partners, said centre director of the International Enterprise Singapore , Chiong Woan Shin.

The Vietnamese economy has constantly posted high growth and the middle class has required increasingly improved healthcare services, Chiong, who is also the commercial consul at Ho Chi Minh City-based Singapore Consulate General, told the Thoi bao Kinh te Vietnam (Vietnam Economic Times).

The fact created an opportunity for Vietnam ’s health sector to develop and for investors from Singapore to tap potentials and cooperate, stressed the consul.

Chiong noted that Singaporean groups Parkway Health and Healthway Medical had opened representative offices in Vietnam , while the Thomson Medical is joining hands with the Protrade Company to build a pediatric-maternity hospital in southern Binh Duong province.
