Asahi Intecc Co., Ltd. announced that it has signed a joint venture agreement to establish a joint venture company with ELDORET HOSPITAL LTD to operate a new hospital specializing in cardiovascular diagnostics and treatments. In Kenya, while the number of deaths from infectious diseases is decreasing due to improvements in sanitary conditions, the proportion of deaths due to cardiovascular diseases is increasing due to changes in lifestyle habits. However, there are still very few facilities available that offer cardiovascular diagnostics and treatments.

Eldoret Hospital is a private hospital with multiple medical departments located in Eldoret city in western Kenya. Currently, there are no facilities that provide catheter interventions in western Kenya, so by jointly opening a catheterization laboratory between the Company and Eldoret Hospital, will be able to save many patients while creating the foundation for a new market. With this in mind, have come to this partnership.

Starting with this joint venture, will promote cardiovascular interventions in Africa, which is said to be the last frontier. At this facility, Japanese doctors introduced through KOL network will provide training to local medical professionals to improve the medical environment. Training will include difficult procedures such as CTO treatment.

Furthermore, as seen in the leapfrog phenomenon, this area is less constrained by existing infrastructure and regulations, making it easier for cutting-edge technologies to spread rapidly.
