Lite Beer Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Thailand is striving to become ASEAN medical equipment hub BANGKOK, 17 May 2014, (NNT) - The Industry Ministry is planning to position Thailand as the production hub for medical equipment and health products in the ASEAN region, by 2020.Industry Minister Witoon Simachokedee said the nation would achieve the feat by emphasizing innovative products, and ensuring the production standard is at a global level of excellence. Prices must also be reasonable and competitive. Mr. Witoon also said the kingdom would in time relinquish its dependency on the more expensive imported supplies while creating opportunities for local industries to establish production networks on an international scale.Already the Industry Ministry has assigned the Office of Industrial Economics (OIE) to initiate three special projects to engender a greater awareness of the nation’s medical equipment industry. Minister Witoon said these projects started two years ago, claiming there'd been good progress during that time. He said, that additional promotion had been put in place this year, giving as examples a project that encourages the use of local materials to produce medical equipment and a move to amend various policies that hinder production. -- NNT 2014-05-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asdecas Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I don´t know which one is worst: Thailand becoming the medical equipment hub Or Thailand running a nuclear power station. Dear god,let's hope they never get nuclear power. Believe it or not (probably best not), the Philippines once built a nuclear power plant. I quote from Wikipedia, "Construction on the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant began in 1976. Following the 1979 Three Mile Island accident in the United States, construction on the BNPP was stopped, and a subsequent safety inquiry into the plant revealed over 4,000 defects.[1] Among the issues raised was that it was built near major earthquake fault lines and close to the then dormant Mount Pinatubo. Pray that Thailand becomes a hub of medical equipment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhizBang Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Another HUB pronouncement. Please. Don't they realize how stupid all these hub pronouncements make them sound? The only thing they seem to be the hub of, is backwards development. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what bought nuclear up......but..a reactor, for anything other than research, will never come to Thailand. The IAEA will not allow fuel here....similarly, the Philipines...I believe they built a power reactor years ago, but are not permitted to purchase fuel...!

Dear god,let's hope they never get nuclear power. Imagine a nuclear plant with the most stringent specifications which are promptly ignored as bribes are paid to get the contracts, contractors and sub-contractors then cut corners with materials and workmanship to increase profits and more bribes are paid for officials to sign off on the project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
