SGX Catalist-listed AsiaMedic Limited (the "Company" and
together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") announced that the
Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, AMC Healthcare Pte. Ltd ("AMC"),
has entered into a shareholders' agreement with Sunway Equity
Holdings Pte. Ltd. ("SEH") to set up and operate a new medical
diagnostics imaging centre in Novena, Singapore.
AMC and SEH will establish AsiaMedic Sunway Pte. Ltd. to operate
the new centre in Novena, which will provide a comprehensive range
of general imaging as well as sub-specialised fields of radiology
imaging such as computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) scans using the latest equipment.
Mr Arifin Kwek, Chief Executive Officer of AsiaMedic Limited, said,
"The partnership with Sunway presents an opportunity for expansion
of the Group's diagnostic imaging business into Novena, which is a
significant healthcare and medical services hub in Singapore. This
will greatly complement the Group's existing integrated medical
centre at Orchard Road and enable us to serve more patients with
greater convenience."
The new diagnostic imaging centre will offer the same cutting-edge
imaging services as the Group's flagship centre at Orchard Road,
which significantly expanded its capacity in September 2023 by
being the first in Asia Pacific to operate the SIGNA(TM) Hero 3T
MRI scanner. Once completed, the new centre in Novena will nearly
double the Group's diagnostic imaging capacity.
In FY2023, diagnostic imaging and radiology services revenue
increased by 72% and contributed nearly 50% of Group revenue.
Demand for the Group's services remained strong across the entire
spectrum of healthcare providers with an increase in referrals from
clinics and hospitals.
Ms Sarena Cheah, Executive Director of Sunway Berhad, said, "We are
confident in the long-term prospects of our partnership as
AsiaMedic has a trusted track record and aptitude in providing
tailored offerings to its patients. In addition, the new diagnostic
imaging centre's strategic location and close proximity to other
healthcare providers will position us as the preferred choice for
patients. This partnership will offer strategic benefits to Sunway
and enhance our existing healthcare ecosystem."
SEH is wholly-owned by Sunway City Sdn Bhd which in turn is
wholly-owned by Sunway Berhad, one of Southeast Asia's most
prominent conglomerates and one of the leading private healthcare
groups in Malaysia.
AsiaMedic continues to invest in the latest technology to enhance
the patient experience and maintain its position as a preferred
provider of diagnostic imaging radiology services. In March 2024,
the Group became the first in Singapore to install the latest
Revolution(TM) Apex Elite CT scanner. The Group will also continue
to explore potential opportunities for further expansion and
long-term growth.
