Thailand Boosts Healthcare Sector with Global Investment Push

Thailand is actively seeking investments from global medical technology firms such as GE and Siemens to bolster its healthcare industry. The country is also targeting Chinese and Indian manufacturers of disposable medical products under its Medical Investment Hub strategy.

Public Health Minister Pattana Promphat stated that the ministry is expanding the Medical Investment Hub strategy to attract international investment, promote technology transfers, and enhance Thailand's competitiveness in the global healthcare industry.

The initiative aims to secure over 68 billion baht in new investment, contribute at least 0.5% to GDP, and elevate Thailand's competitiveness ranking in health and the environment from 56th to 50th.
