POSTED BEFORE > Siteworks Building and Development Co., (SWKJ) another of Prestige Asias Imports to bangkok seems to already be in discussion with a local construction company.
Prestige Asia has already brought to Asia several USA and European based companies, but in the last few months it seems to have really turned up the heat with 2 listed USA companies not only taking on its services but using Prestige to negotiate a successful Asian entry.
Rumour is Prestige, on behalf of SWKJ, has approached Double Nine Trillion (99 Trillion) to acquire both its operation and management. The prospect company is expected to return solid margins based on existing business and SWKJs expertise in the first year of operation.
"I would like SWKJ to acquire our take over target for many reasons crucial to the growth in the region. The details, however I am not at liberty to discuss the details of our negotiations, I can say, we are doing our best for SWKJ here in Thailand", said Sutida Suwunnavid, the President of Prestige.
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c25692) has announced the addition of China Medical Market Intelligence Report to their offering.
China, in terms of both its healthcare system and medical device market, is a nation of contradiction. As the world s most populous country, and one in possession of the fastest growing major economy in the world, the nation offers a vast array of opportunities for overseas investors, complemented by a massive potential workforce and consumer base. The SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) crisis of 2003 forced the government to examine the Chinese health infrastructure in great detail and healthcare has become a priority of the present government, with promises of large scale investment in order to ensure epidemics such as this are dealt with more effectively and that the system as a whole is improved substantially. Other priorities addressed by the government include the standard of rural healthcare, which for many years has differed markedly in its quality to that in urban areas. In particular, the more basic practices of barefoot doctors are to be phased out, and medical personnel in these impoverished regions are to be required to pass a more advanced series of qualifications. Increased investment from overseas in the form of a range of projects continues, and the HIV/AIDS epidemic in China has assumed greater significance, with the establishment of various programmes aimed at attempting to combat the disease.
However, several factors inherent in the nation s make up undermine many of these opportunities and the progress that has undoubtedly been made since the 1980s. Most obviously is the fact that although there are some very high quality hospitals and clinics in the big cities, China remains a very poor country; GDP per capita is on a par with that in Indonesia or the Philippines. Facilities are badly-equipped, drugs are in short supply and trained staff are lacking. Healthcare in rural areas, home to some 800 million people, remains very basic and is in places wholly inadequate to deal with normal healthcare problems, let alone short-term problems such as SARS or longer term problems such as HIV.
Funding is, of course, at the root of the problem, with most patients having to pay for at least a large part of the cost of treatment. The Chinese government has been attempting to improve healthcare funding through an expansion of healthcare insurance. Compulsory insurance is now established in urban areas, and is planned for rural areas by 2010.
