SINGAPORE: Healthcare provider IHH Healthcare said on Wednesday (Nov 4) that more than 300 employees in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia were leaving the company as it consolidates its business support services.
IHH Healthcare, one of Asia’s largest private hospital providers, said in a media release that about 0.5 per cent of its 76,000 employees would “transition out of the organisation” across the three markets. The firm did not state the figure, but this amounts to about 380 affected staff members.
In response to CNA’s queries, an IHH Healthcare spokesperson said those leaving had either been given a separation offer or let go of, “based on different established market practices”.
Some employees will also move into redesigned roles as part of the consolidation, IHH Healthcare said in the media release.
“These changes do not affect clinical services, healthcare professionals or patient-facing teams,” it added.
The company said it was consolidating its business support services to “harmonise processes, unlock synergies across its network and invest resources where they create the greatest impact for patients”.
