SINGAPORE – Close to 400 employees at IHH Healthcare will be leaving the organisation as it looks at consolidating its business support services.

In a statement on Nov 4, the healthcare group said that those affected are from its Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia offices.

“As part of the consolidation, some employees will move into redesigned roles while approximately 0.5% of IHH’s 76,000 total workforce will transition out of the organisation across Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia,” it said.

The figure translates to about 380 affected employees.

Clinical services, healthcare professionals and patient-facing teams are not affected, it said, adding that patients will continue receiving the same quality of care at its hospitals and healthcare facilities.

In its statement, IHH said the changes are part of its transformation efforts to “drive consistency, efficiency and scalability”.

It added that a consolidation of its business support services will “harmonise processes, unlock synergies across its network and invest resources where they create the greatest impact for patients”.

The group had previously announced in June that it would be implementing a new enterprise resource planning system.

It said that employees who are leaving the organisation will receive “support beyond local statutory requirements”.

This includes enhanced severance packages, immediate access to career transition and outplacement support, and a confidential channel for feedback and assistance.

“IHH is committed to helping staff and their families, ensuring they have access to practical support and resources throughout this transition, with care and respect at every step,” it added.

IHH operates 190 healthcare facilities across 10 countries, including Malaysia, Singapore and India. Eighty-nine of the facilities are hospitals.

Brands operating in Singapore include Parkway, Gleneagles and Mount Elizabeth.

Group chief executive officer Prem Kumar Nair said in the statement that the decision was not one that the healthcare group took lightly.

He added that the global healthcare landscape has become increasingly complex and fast changing due to advances in technology, growing healthcare needs and patient expectations.

“To continue delivering high-quality patient care for the long term, we must change the way we work and build an organisation that is more resilient, agile and future-ready,” he said.

IHH said there would be no changes to business operations and existing contractual arrangements for suppliers, partners and vendors.

“Any future changes will be communicated in a timely and transparent manner,” it added.

IHH has a primary listing on Bursa Malaysia and a secondary listing on the Singapore Exchange.

新加坡——IHH医疗保健集团计划整合其业务支持服务，近400名员工将离开该机构。

该医疗保健集团在 11 月 4 日的一份声明中表示，受影响的人员来自其新加坡、香港和马来西亚办事处。

“作为整合的一部分，一些员工将转入重新设计的岗位，而IHH在新加坡、香港和马来西亚的76000名员工总数中，约有0.5%将离开该组织，”声明中写道。

这个数字相当于约 380 名受影响的员工。

声明称，临床服务、医疗保健专业人员和面向患者的团队不受影响，并补充说，患者将继续在其医院和医疗机构获得同等质量的护理。

IHH 在声明中表示，这些变化是其转型努力的一部分，旨在“提高一致性、效率和可扩展性”。

该公司还表示，整合其业务支持服务将“协调流程，释放整个网络的协同效应，并将资源投入到能为患者带来最大影响的地方”。

该集团此前曾在6月份宣布，将实施新的企业资源规划系统。

声明称，离开公司的员工将获得“超出当地法定要求的支持”。

这包括更优厚的遣散费方案、立即获得职业转型和再就业安置支持，以及用于反馈和帮助的保密渠道。

“IHH致力于帮助员工及其家人，确保他们在整个过渡期间都能获得实际的支持和资源，并在每一步都得到关爱和尊重，”声明补充道。

IHH在包括马来西亚、新加坡和印度在内的10个国家运营着190家医疗机构，其中89家是医院。

在新加坡运营的品牌包括百汇集团、鹰阁集团和伊丽莎白山集团。

集团首席执行官普雷姆·库马尔·奈尔在声明中表示，该医疗集团做出这一决定并非轻率之举。

他还补充说，由于技术的进步、医疗保健需求的增长以及患者的期望，全球医疗保健格局变得越来越复杂，变化也越来越快。

他说：“为了长期持续地提供高质量的患者护理，我们必须改变工作方式，建立一个更具韧性、更灵活、面向未来的组织。”

IHH表示，业务运营以及与供应商、合作伙伴和销售商的现有合同安排不会发生任何变化。

“任何未来的变化都将及时、透明地进行沟通，”声明补充道。

IHH在马来西亚证券交易所拥有主要上市地位，并在新加坡交易所拥有第二上市地位。
