    MEDICAL services group Singapore Paincare Holdings (SPCH) is partnering Chinese community hospital operator Puxiang Healthcare to bring its specialist pain-care treatments to China and widen its pool of patients.

    The Catalist-listed group has signed a non-exhaustive, non-binding term sheet with Beijing Puxiang Hospital Investment Management Co (BPHIM), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Puxiang Healthcare, to set up a joint venture (JV) company, PuXin Pain Technology Hospital Management Company.

    SPCH will own 49 per cent of the JV, with BPHIM holding the remaining 51 per cent.
