Bringing world-class cancer care closer to communities through technology and expertise
Siemens Healthineers, a global leader in medical technology, and Principal Capital Public Company Limited (PRINC Group), a leading private hospital network operator, have announced a strategic partnership to strengthen advanced cancer diagnosis and treatment capabilities and expand access to international-standard healthcare services across regional Thailand.
Under the “Healthcare for All” vision, the collaboration combines Siemens Healthineers’ expertise in advanced medical technology, healthcare system insights and international best practices with PRINC Group’s regional hospital network. The partnership will support the development of Centers of Excellence in Oncology and strengthen comprehensive cancer care closer to patients’ homes.
Mr. Chris Poray, Managing Director of Siemens Healthineers Thailand, said, “This partnership reflects the shared vision of Siemens Healthineers and PRINC Group to expand access to high-quality cancer diagnosis and treatment services, particularly in regional communities where the demand for specialized care continues to grow.”
“Siemens Healthineers is fully committed to supporting PRINC Group as a long-term strategic partner—not only through cutting-edge medical technologies, but also through healthcare system insights, medical workforce development, and sharing best practices from our international network,” he added.
PRINC Group currently operates 19 hospitals across 15 provinces and continues to expand its regional healthcare network through a Hub & Spoke model. In oncology, its first radiation therapy center at Princ Hospital Sisaket is already operational, serving patients in the lower northeastern region. Meanwhile, the Cancer and Radiation Therapy Center at Princ Hospital Phitsanulok (Phitsanuvej Hospital) is scheduled to open in early 2027 and is intended to serve as an oncology hub for the lower northern region.
Wityavate Rakkulchon, M.D., Co-Chief Executive Officer of PRINC Group, said the partnership will help expand access to standardized, high-value healthcare services, from cancer screening and specialist diagnosis to international-standard medical technologies.
Mr. Kanut Sirisuwat, Co-Chief Executive Officer of PRINC Group, emphasized that Siemens Healthineers is viewed not simply as a medical technology provider, but as a strategic partner supporting long-term patient care capabilities and specialized Centers of Excellence.
Athiwat Noiprasit, M.D., Chief Special Operations Officer, added that the collaboration will also support healthcare workforce development, knowledge sharing, research and innovation to strengthen local cancer care capabilities.
Through this partnership, Siemens Healthineers and PRINC Group aim to create sustainable value by combining advanced medical technology, clinical expertise, workforce development and knowledge exchange, helping more patients across Thailand access high-quality cancer care closer to home.
