Capitol Health has entered into a non binding agreement to provide services to CITIC Pharmaceutical and IMF Bentham announced a major win on the Rivercity class action
Capitol Health
Capitol Health has announced it has entered into a non binding agreement to provide design, consulting and clinic management services to CITIC Pharmaceutical (a part of the CITIC Group).
The agreement provides the opportunity for future joint ventures in design, consulting and operational management of CITIC’s proposed new diagnostic imaging centres in China. CITIC’s early diagnostic imaging centres are planned for cities where they already own hospitals, which should generate patient referrals.
The recent Chinese government healthcare reform has resulted in substantial growth in the private health care industry in China. While this is a very early stage development, the agreement is the first in Capitol’s broader strategy to gain exposure to the fast growing China market.
The share market has responded favourably to the news, with the CAJ share price up 6% on the day of the announcement.
