Japanese health care service provider Sakurajyuji Group is set to open a clinic in Bangkok in December as part of its overseas expansion plans with a view to offering nursing care services for the aging Thai population in the future.

The hospital operator says it has established Rojana Sakurajyuji Medical, a local joint venture with Rojana, a major industrial park operator in the country, to run Sakura Cross Clinic in the Emporium Tower in the heart of the Thai capital.

The clinic, scheduled to open on Dec. 17, specializes in internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, dermatology and health checkups, among other fields, with staff speaking English, Japanese and Thai. It targets wealthy locals and foreigners, including Japanese residents in the country.
