SGX Catalist-listed AsiaMedic Limited and Sunway Equity Holdings Pte. Ltd., a wholly- owned subsidiary of Malaysian conglomerate Sunway Group, have officially launched AsiaMedic Sunway Imaging, a new medical diagnostics imaging centre at Royal Square in Novena, marking a significant expansion in the Group’s medical diagnostic imaging capacity.
Spanning close to 6,000 sqft and equipped with advanced medical imaging equipment, the centre offers a comprehensive range of diagnostic imaging services, including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with a special focus on sub-specialised fields of radiology supported by a team of experienced radiologists.
These advanced diagnostic imaging technologies and equipment incorporated at the new centre mirror the high standards set at AsiaMedic’s flagship Orchard Road Centre and aim to provide the best care for its patients. They include:
- 3T MRI – The SIGNA Hero is an advanced MRI scanner with twice the field strength (3.0 Tesla) of most conventional MRI scanners (1.5 Tesla). It allows for fast scans, more detail, clearer images and more accurate diagnoses. It also features a wide bore and blanket-like coils for improved patient comfort.
- CT Scanner – The Revolution Apex Elite features the latest in CT technology, delivering high- resolution images of coronary vessels while utilising low-dose radiation. Its unique motion correction technology ensures clear results, even in complex patients or patients with high heart rates.
- General Imaging – A full suite of general imaging services, including mammography, ultrasound and X-ray, which provide precise diagnostics for comprehensive patient care.
Strategically located in the heart of Singapore’s premier medical hub at Novena, the new centre also provides great accessibility and an enhanced patient experience to address growing demands from clinics, hospitals and other healthcare providers.
The launch of AsiaMedic Sunway Imaging represents a milestone collaboration between AMC Healthcare Pte. Ltd., the Group’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and SEH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunway Group – one of Southeast Asia’s leading conglomerates that also encompasses Malaysia’s largest integrated private healthcare group.
Mr Arifin Kwek, Chief Executive Officer of AsiaMedic Limited said: “The launch of AsiaMedic Sunway Imaging reflects our mission to detect early illnesses to achieve positive experiences and clinical outcomes for our patients through advanced diagnostic imaging. The centre will greatly complement the Group’s existing integrated medical centre at Orchard Road and enable us to serve more patients while providing our valued doctor partners with streamlined access to diagnostic services and radiological consultation.”
Ms Sarena Cheah, Deputy Executive Chairman of Sunway Group said: “At Sunway, we focus on shaping the future of healthcare and continue to set new benchmarks for holistic and comprehensive medical care. The AsiaMedic Sunway Imaging centre represents a key step in bringing Sunway’s integrated healthcare expertise to regional and international markets. Together with AsiaMedic, we look forward to providing top-notch diagnostic imaging services and enhancing the patient experience.”
AsiaMedic will continue to invest in the latest technology to enhance the patient experience and maintain its position as a preferred provider of diagnostic imaging radiology services. The launch of AsiaMedic Sunway Imaging nearly doubles the Group’s diagnostic imaging capacity and represents another milestone in the Group’s growth strategy.
With the expanded capacity and enhanced capabilities, the Group is well-positioned to capture growing opportunities in Singapore’s specialist healthcare services sector while delivering value to shareholders.
