IHH Healthcare, one of Singapore’s top firms, said its revenue also grew 24% year-on-year to $1.4b (RM 5.1b) in the first quarter of 2023 due to increase of patients in key markets.

According to the financial statement, the EBITDA also grew 15% mainly driven by the higher revenue.

The Board further declared a special dividend of 9.6 sen per ordinary share for FY 2023 from the divestment of IMU, representing a 100% payout of the gains from the sale, to be paid out on 30 June 2023,” read the statement.

Looking ahead, IHH Healthcare said it is seeking to increase its beds by 2,000 in Malaysia, India and Türkiye over the next three years.
