"Fortis Healthcare Singapore Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Fortis Healthcare International Pte Ltd, one of our step-down subsidiaries in Singapore, today announced its decision to divest 100% shareholding in RadLink-Asia Pte Ltd and its subsidiaries, 'RadLink', Singapore to Medi-Rad Associates Ltd, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of IHH Healthcare Berhad, for SGD 137,000,000," Fortis Healthcare said in a statement.
The deal will be successfully closed following the necessary statutory and regulatory approvals as per local requirements, it added.
RadLink is engaged in providing healthcare services including outpatient diagnostic and molecular imaging services in Singapore, Fortis Healthcare said.
Commenting on the development, Fortis Healthcare Executive Chairman Malvinder Singh and Executive Vice Chairman Shivinder Singh said: "This is in line with our strategic decision to intensify our focus on our core hospital and diagnostics business in India."
The company's international healthcare businesses have all done well and the significant value that it has created, is now being unlocked and will be ploughed back to strengthen growth in India, they added.
"Singapore will always remain strategic and integral to our business plans for the future. We are committed to grow the relationships and partnerships that we have established here, the most prominent being our association with the Economic Development Board of Singapore (EDB) and the SGX listed Religare Healthcare Trust," they added.
