Myanmar mall operator Ga Mone Pwint Co has teamed up with Thailand’s Thonburi Healthcare Group to start a new facility, Ar Yu International Hospital, in Yangon, where demand for high quality standards of healthcare is rising fast.
The new US$70 million hospital, which will open in mid August, is the first such project in Yangon for both Ga Mone Pwint and Thonburi. “Ar Yu will function as a general hospital but we will also have cardiologists and neurologists on board,” said Dr Nway Nu Wai, business development manager at Ar Yu International Hospital.
The move also arrives at a time when local living standards are improving, bringing about higher demand for quality healthcare.
“From previous surveys, we understand that the majority of Myanmar people are more comfortable seeking medication from the local drug store or at private clinics than consult with specialists at big hospitals with modern diagnostic equipment,” said Dr Watson Aphiwatanakoon, CEO of Ar Yu International Hospital.
Now, more realise the need for proper and timely diagnosis and the risks involved in delaying hospital treatment. As such, the new hospital will target patients who would otherwise seek medical treatment abroad.
