OUE Healthcare Limited (OUEH), the healthcare arm of Singapore-based OUE Limited, has announced a strategic partnership with Zhongda Hospital Southeast University, a leading Grade 3A General Hospital in Nanjing, China. This collaboration aims to bolster the medical offerings of Changshu China Merchants – Lippo Obstetrics & Gynaecology Hospital (Changshu Hospital) in Jiangsu Province, China, a joint venture between OUEH and China Merchants Group.
Dr Stephen Riady, Executive Chairman and CEO of OUE, highlighted the partnership’s significance, stating, “Zhongda Hospital is a national leader in critical care medicine and cardiovascular disease services. This collaboration will enhance Changshu Hospital’s medical service offerings, providing Changshu residents with more accessible and higher-quality healthcare services.”
The partnership will focus on various areas, including scientific research, education, and management, and will establish a two-way green channel for patient access between the two hospitals. This initiative is expected to facilitate cross-referrals and advance clinical services at Changshu Hospital.
Changshu Hospital, the first private Obstetrics and Gynaecology hospital in Changshu city, offers premium medical services and aims to integrate Zhongda Hospital’s expertise with Singapore’s patient care framework. Yet Kum Meng, CEO of OUEH, expressed commitment to delivering sustainable, patient-centred healthcare services that align with China’s healthcare reform priorities.
This partnership follows a similar collaboration with Shanghai Changzheng Hospital, marking another milestone for Changshu Hospital in integrating top-tier public healthcare resources. The hospital, spanning 23,000 square metres, targets the affluent market and includes a confinement centre and medical aesthetics services.
