B.Braun eyes Hanoi dialysis centre project
(VOV)- Germany-based B.Braun Group, one of the top healthcare companies in the world, plans to invest in a dialysis centre in Hanoi.
An executive of the group revealed the information at a working session with Hanoi People’s Committee leaders on March 18.
He said B.Braun manufactures and supplies medical equipment to hundreds of dialysis centres worldwide, including 50 in Asia.
The group has already operated in Hanoi and it is to invest an additional US$100 million in Thanh Oai industrial zone and create more than 2,500 jobs for local people in the second phase.
Vice Chairwoman of the Municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc welcomed B.Braun’s proposal and said Hanoi is considering providing 2 hectares of land in Ha Dong district to the group to carry out the project.
She said Hanoi has offered incentive policies and simplified procedures to attract direct foreign investment in many areas, including health care.
The capital city encourages companies to invest in community health care to help ease overload in hospitals and improve medical service quality, she said.
