The EQT Mid Market Asia III fund (“EQT Mid Market Asia” or “EQT”) today announced its investment in Health Management International Ltd (“HMI” or the “Company”).

Founded in 1998, HMI is a regional private healthcare provider with presence in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. The Company is headquartered in Singapore and is led by an experienced management team and has a board with vast experience in developing and growing healthcare businesses in the region. The Company’s two tertiary hospitals in Malaysia, Mahkota Medical Centre and Regency Specialist Hospital, which are known for their clinical quality and breadth of specialties and subspecialties, attract medical tourists from all around Southeast Asia and serve approximately 100,000 international patients per year.

HMI has a strategy of investing in its facilities and service offerings and has further expanded its healthcare platform through investments in the first private one-stop ambulatory care center in Singapore, StarMed Specialist Centre, and a General Practice clinic chain in Singapore, OneCare Medical.

EQT will support HMI in realizing the full potential of its existing healthcare businesses, while investing further in capacity and capabilities. EQT plans to back the Company’s accelerated growth trajectory, both organically and by exploring potential acquisition opportunities. HMI will also be able to leverage on EQT’s deep healthcare sector expertise, global network and vast experience rolling out digitalization initiatives.

The investment in HMI is in line with EQT’s thematic approach. HMI participates in the development, planning and implementation of sustainable strategies and engages in numerous community initiatives which include medical screenings and treatments, promoting wellness and preventive healthcare.
