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

Around 380 staff are affected in the changes, which are part of its transformation efforts

IHH Healthcare is set to eliminate approximately 380 jobs across its operations in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. This move is part of the healthcare group's ongoing transformation efforts aimed at improving efficiency, consistency, and scalability. The affected employees are primarily from business support services, with clinical services, healthcare professionals, and patient-facing teams remaining unaffected.

Patients can expect to continue receiving the same high-quality care at IHH's hospitals and healthcare facilities. The company is also investing in a new enterprise resource planning system, which will help harmonise processes and unlock synergies within its network. Affected staff will receive enhanced severance packages, immediate access to career transition and outplacement support, and a confidential channel for feedback.

IHH CEO Prem Kumar Nair acknowledged the decision was difficult, noting that the global healthcare landscape is becoming increasingly complex and fast-changing. He emphasized the need to adapt and build a more resilient, agile, and future-ready organization to deliver high-quality patient care in the long term.
