Kuala Lumpur, 1st August 2007. Kuwait Finance House (Malaysia) Berhad's Private Equity (KFH) arm announced the acquisition of 30% equity interest in Radlink Asia Pty Ltd (RLA) jointly with its strategic partner, Singapore Main-Board listed Pacific Healthcare Limited (PHH). KFH will acquire 60% equity interest in PHH's wholly-owned Synergy Healthcare Investment Pte Ltd (Synergy) which had exercised the option to acquire 30% equity interest in RLA. RLA is one of the largest independent diagnostic imaging and radiography service providers in Singapore and operates a chain of General Practitioner (GP) clinics.
The investment in RLA is the first joint investment for PHH and KFH which seeks to jointly expand their presence in the Asia healthcare sector. According to Mr. K. Salman Younis the Managing Director of Kuwait Finance House (Malaysia) Berhad, with the growing demand for high quality, reliable and preventive healthcare services regionally, the acquisition of RLA is part of the KFH plan to position itself in the growing segment in Asia. Going forward, KFH and PHH seek to support the strategic growth plan of RLA through expansion of services, network expansion, capital investments and strategic acquisition in Singapore and regionally. The move is expected to complement our investments in healthcare sector in India and Kuwait.
According to Dr William Chong, Chief Executive Officer of Pacific Healthcare, "Radlink is an important step to help launch our JV with KFH into the fast growing Asian healthcare sector. The diagnostic service business is one of the more efficient ways of extending and cementing our position as a premier healthcare services provider in the region. It will also raise greater awareness of our brand internationally." In February, PHH signed a Joint Venture Agreement with KFHMB to collectively invest up to SGD32 million either in cash or through injection of synergistic businesses, to establish new medical centers in Asia.
