The Associated Press said that the sale was a reaction to the large losses the electronics manufacturer suffered through its involvement with Westinghouse, the US nuclear company, which is set to cost it 712.5bn Yen (€5.9bn). Its chairman resigned after the news broke.

As a result the medical leasing unit is the latest in a string of sales.

This includes parts of its computer-chip operations and its household appliance unit to Midea of China, which will keep the Toshiba brand.
