THAILAND
Recently the Korean government has chosen the healthcare industry as a new engine for growth. As a sign of that, the Korean healthcare market has shown higher growth rates compared to other OECD countries in the previous years.
Thailand is a key player in the Asian healthcare sector. This is due to both an extensive private sector and a very well established public universal healthcare system. The country is experiencing a growing demand for premium medical devices, welfare technology, care products and services.
Korea are experiencing a rapid increase in the ageing of the population. The percentage of elderly Koreans is much higher compared to the average of OECD members. Healthcare expenditure has also been soaring dramatically, experiencing the highest growth (11.6% per capita) amongst OECD members (6.7% per capita) from 2000 to 2008. •
Due to the rapidly increasing ageing population, medical devices and rehabilitation facilities are becoming important. With a growing demand for high quality welfare solutions and facilities, IT-converged devices and various facilities are being implemented.
• Korea is a world leader in hospital and mobile healthcare IT where hospital resources and patient information are exchanged and managed through digital devices in real-time. • Korean government recently started to divert a large share of R&D funding into healthcare. Focus is on pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. This trend currently spreads to hospitals to purchase innovative treatment technology, IT solutions, medical robots, etc.
In recent years, Thailand has experienced a population growth driven by a high birth rate, low mortality and increased life expectancy. More than 66 million people are living in Thailand, and over the next ten years, it is estimated that 17 per cent of the population will be elderly. • Thailand has 34 JCI accredited hospitals out of more than 1,000 public and more than 325 private hospitals with a total of approximately 130,000 hospital beds (private: +40,000, public: +93,000) • Per-capita spending on healthcare almost US$240 and the healthcare expenditure is expected to grow by 8.4 per cent to US$25 billion in 2020. • Thailand, as one of the world’s top markets for medical tourism, continues to see a rising number of international patients. About 3 million international patients arrive every year and the revenue from medical tourism has grown 15 per cent a year over the past decade. The total revenue from medical tourism in Thailand amounted to US$4.31 billion in 2013 (2012: US$4.0 billion, 2011: US$3.2 billion).
• In 2013, the Danish Ministry of Health and Prevention and the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare signed a MoU that encourages further cooperation between Denmark and Korea in the healthcare industry.

Healthcare Business Delegation to Korea and Thailand, 31 August - 4 September 2015
GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR PARTICIPATION IN EXPORT PROMOTION EVENTS UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE CONFEDERATION OF DANISH INDUSTRY (DI) 1. Basis of the agreement/contract The contractual basis for participation in a collective export promotion event under the auspices of DI is comprised by: 1) a binding registration form filled in and signed by a duly authorized representative of the company, and 2) these present general conditions for participation. 2. Conditions for participation The extent and conditions of participation as well as the services to be provided by DI are laid out in the presentation material sent, which includes a description of the practical implementation of the export promotion event. By signing the binding registration form, participating companies give their approval of the presentation material sent and of the prices, conditions and provisions described therein. DI is under obligation to supply the services described in the presentation material. The participating companies are obligated to comply with the conditions for planning and implementing the export promotion event described in the material, including meeting the deadlines given for sending in material etc. to DI. DI provision of services is conditional on not being delayed or prevented by force majeure, including but not limited to war, lockout, strikes, civil commotion, natural disasters or other circumstances beyond the control of DI. If an export promotion event is cancelled due to any above mentioned circumstances, the companies registered are under an obligation to pay their share of costs already defrayed during preparation, insofar as these costs cannot be covered by co-financing via export promotion funds. 3. Financial conditions By returning the binding registration form, the company commits itself to paying the cost indicated for participating in the export promotion event. DI’s cost calculations (see material sent) are based on a minimum number of participants. Should this minimum number of participants not register, DI reserves the right to cancel the event or send out revised material containing new prices, which will form the basis for the possible implementation of the promotion with a reduced number of participants. DI reserve the right to adjust the prices given to follow changes in exchange rates, in the event of increases in rental for the premises, and in the event of higher prices due to common decisions about changing and expanding the event relative to the original material sent out.
4. Invoicing Unless otherwise agreed, invoices will be issued as follows: 1) 100% on account with binding registration, 2) final invoice when the event is over and after all costs, such as any extra services agreed upon, are included. In the event that DI’s terms of payment are not met, DI reserve the right to consider the agreement repudiated in accordance with section 6. 5. Co-financing In the event that co-financing can be expected via general export promotion funds, participating companies are obligated to provide the necessary documentation and other information relevant to co-financing of the export promotion event. 6. Cancelling the agreement Registering for an export promotion event is binding once the registration form has been filled in and sent to DI. Thus DI has a claim on the price agreed regardless of whether the company subsequently cancels or reduces its participation. 7. Transport and insurance Participating companies are requested to buy their own necessary insurance for their own employees and own goods, exhibition and information materials, covering damage incurred in transit or during the event. 8. Venue In the event of any dispute or controversy between the parties regarding the interpretation or construction of the conditions for participation or an alleged breach of contract by either party to this agreement, such dispute or controversy shall be settled by arbitration.
