IHH Healthcare eyes Indonesia, Vietnam for expansion

IHH Healthcare Bhd group chief executive officer Dr Prem Kumar Nair. — FAIHAN GHANI/The Star IHH Healthcare Bhd . is looking to potential new markets Indonesia and Vietnam as the Malaysian hospital operator continues building scale to offset rising healthcare costs in the region. Indonesia is attractive, thanks to its healthcare reforms and foreign ownership relaxation, while Vietnam has emerged as a booming market, according to Chief Executive Officer Prem Kumar Nair. "We get a lot of patients from Vietnam into our Singapore operations,' he said in an interview in Kuala Lumpur this week. The company currently operates more than 80 hospitals in 10 countries, including Singapore, India and China, and has been actively acquiring healthcare facilities in recent years. It bought Island Hospital Sdn. Bhd. in Malaysia in 2024. Its Turkish unit Acibadem and Indian affiliate Fortis Healthcare also purchased hospitals in their respective markets in the last two years. The company has $14 billion in market capitalization and is the most valuable listed hospital operator in Southeast Asia. The desire to widen expansion in the region comes as IHH looks to make up for rising import costs in the industry. The group is now procuring medical equipment, consumables and generic medications in bulk to cut costs on imported items, Prem Kumar said. IHH is also planning to consolidate its presence in China, according to Prem Kumar. It turned its clinic business into a profitable operation and is seeing rising number of patients at its hospital in Shanghai. Still, China's decision to ease restrictions on foreign investment in healthcare sector will not immediately sway IHH into expanding further in the world's second-largest economy. "In China, the public sector is a very big competitor to private healthcare,' he said. "We are the only foreign operator in China who has a combination of clinics, and an ecosystem, so we will build on it.'

"There's no dearth of opportunities in the countries we operate,' he said. Beyond Hospitals IHH booked 6.29 billion ringgit ($1.48 billion) in first-quarter revenue, an increase of 5.7% from a year ago. Its profit slid 33% to 514 million ringgit, which the company attributed to exceptional accounting adjustments. Singapore, Turkey and Malaysia are currently its main revenue drivers, but the company expects India to become a major contributor in the coming years amid booming demand for private healthcare. With 35 hospitals, India already has IHH's biggest in-country network. Prem Kumar said he was focused on growing out-of-hospital care in IHH's markets - including ambulatory surgical and care centers, along with primary care centers - to help control cost pressures. The group currently operates 60 healthcare facilities that aren't hospitals. "If we depend on hospitals alone, healthcare costs are going to rise tremendously,' he said. Singapore already has such an ecosystem in place while Hong Kong is headed in that direction, Prem Kumar said. Still, its home market of Malaysia doesn't allow hospital operators to also run other healthcare facilities. IHH plans to make representations to Malaysia's Health Ministry in hopes the rule will be changed. "We definitely want to move, in Malaysia, into the out-of-hospital sector in a big way as well,' he said. IHH shares have declined 8.4% so far this year, while Malaysia's benchmark stock index has fallen around 7% amid concerns over US tariffs. - Bloomberg
