IHH Healthcare to cut close to 400 jobs across S’pore, Hong Kong and Malaysia

IHH Healthcare, a major healthcare group, announced on November 4 that it will be reducing its workforce by nearly 400 employees across its offices in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. The affected staff members are primarily from business support services, with clinical services, healthcare professionals, and patient-facing teams remaining unaffected.

The reduction is part of IHH's efforts to streamline operations, harmonise processes, and unlock synergies within the company's network to better serve its 76,000 employees and patients. The group confirmed that employees leaving will receive enhanced severance packages, career transition support, and a confidential channel for feedback.

CEO Prem Kumar Nair emphasized the need to adapt to the rapidly evolving global healthcare landscape and ensure the organization remains resilient, agile, and future-ready. IHH operates 190 facilities in 10 countries, with 89 serving as hospitals in Singapore, including well-known brands like Parkway, Gleneagles, and Mount Elizabeth. The company maintains operations and contractual commitments to suppliers, partners, and vendors.
