 In March 2007, Mitsubishi Corporation jointly established with the Development Bank of Japan the "Trinity Healthcare Fund" for the purpose of management assistance for and business restructuring of medical and nursing care businesses.
The fund plans to stabilize management and improve profitability of medical institutions and nursing care business owners, in part through purchases of loans receivable to these businesses held by regional financial institutions. The fund also plans to achieve this by providing them with assistance such as financial improvement support through real estate securitization and management improvement plan design. In addition, it aims for improved medical and nursing care services to be provided regionally by realizing facility investments such as increased construction of hospital wards and high-level medical equipment in response to new medical needs.
