On Retail Medical Clinics
Retail clinics have a lot of potential for growth given the transparency of price and accessibility as a walk-in basis (most retail clinics in Hong Kong).
As a patient, you know exactly what you are paying to treat the minor illness and no need to wait a couple days before the physician is available to see the patient.
As in the case of Hong Kong, the dense urban setting makes it better for the convenience of retail clinics. It is easy to set up and operate; it is so convenience that there are multiple retail clinic location right within the train stations.
