Dec 17, 2020 (Heraldkeepers) — Strategy Project Partnership, Transaction Advisory & Financial Solution in Healthcare Services
It is a great pleasure to announce that QMIS Securities Capital (M) Sdn Bhd (the “Company”, and together with its affiliated companies, the “QMIS”) has on 12 December 2020 entered into a collaboration partnership MOU with “H Healthcare Berhad (HHB)” Richwood Ventures Bhd (“Richwood”). And Chang Dynasty Sdn. Bhd. (“Chang Dynasty”) in relation to the initiation of development and support of 9 Medical Centre and 5 Super Specialist Hospital projects over South East Asia in 2 to 3 years.
Asian Healthcare – Poised for Growth
The total healthcare spending in Asia is estimated to exceed USD 4 trillion by 2024. A report by International Data Corporation shows that Asia Pacific’s healthcare information technology (IT) sector spending is forecast to increase from USD 12.2 billion in 2019 to USD 14.9 billion by 2022, at a compounded average growth rate of 7% led by software and IT services.
However, healthcare services face renewed pressure to improve the quality of care and operate more efficiently. This could force clinics and hospitals to focus more on capturing transactional cost synergies and achieving operational efficiencies, rather than on improving the strength of their networks. Increased spending in healthcare, driven by an ageing and growing population is expected to induce even higher valuations. This trend has prompted a surge in IPO’s and M & A. Healthcare services will therefore continue to be targeted for investment.
Strategic Alliances and Smart Partnership – High Expertise and Resources
The strategic alliance will support clinical teams in the group of H Healthcare Berhad (“HHB”) to facilitate virtual clinician-to-patient consultation, shared clinical decision making, and access to specialist resources through digital solution clinical platform. For example, the adoption of telehealth solutions was one of the key health-Tech trends of 2019 – 2020.
QMIS will act as a Financial Advisor and the conduit for other two strategic partners to work together towards the project. QMIS is also interested in modelling the premises provider(s) for clinical platform as an online platform that implements the sharing economy model, much like Uber and Airbnb as a way to offer cheaper alternative to the medical practitioners.
Chang Dynasty as a real estate development company shall provide the projects and shall continue sourcing for more hospitals and healthcare center suitable for the purpose hereto.
Richwood offers a boutique advisory service specializing on marketing strategies, promotion events to achieve wider audience for the projects.
QMIS will work closely with the parties in the months ahead to leverage operation synergies. Additionally, QMIS will look into investing in digital healthcare solution to enhance the patient experience, synonymous with its brand image.
