Shanghai United Imaging eyes global expansion

Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare has made significant strides in expanding its presence in Southeast Asia and has marked several "firsts" in local hospitals, said a senior executive of the company, which specializes in medical imaging, radiotherapy equipment and life science instruments.

Local medical institutions in over 10 Southeast Asian countries have been equipped with a total of more than 400 devices from the company to help enhance their medical diagnostic capabilities, Xia Jusong, the Shanghai-based firm's head of international business, said during an exclusive interview with China Daily.

"Our company's strategic focus on Southeast Asia as a priority market is evident in our plan to achieve local production and logistics within a year, alongside bolstering research collaborations," said Xia.
