”As Singapore and China tackle the challenges of an ageing society, this new venture can contribute to Sichuan by offering a one-stop international medical and healthcare plus concierge to all ages,” said Dr Tan, who is the co-chair of the Singapore-Sichuan Trade and Investment Committee.
“I believe this would significantly complement Chengdu’s effort in developing itself to become a liveable city and international gateway to West China.”
Perennial Holdings is also building similar integrated medical hubs in three other Chinese cities, Tianjin, Kunming and Xi’an.
SUSTAINABILITY PUSH
Amid an escalating climate crisis, Sichuan is also pushing for sustainable development.
Singapore energy firm SP Group has partnered Wuhou district, the largest of Chengdu’s five districts, to transform it into a smart eco-district.
