Medical Partnerships with Singapore’s Lung Specialists
In June 2022, OUEH formed a partnership with three medical specialist groups (the “Medical Partners”) in Singapore via its joint venture company with OUE (“OUE JV”). OUEH and OUE hold 60% and 40% respectively in OUE JV.
Under the partnership, OUE JV and the respective founders of the Medical Partners hold a 60:40 shareholding in O2 Healthcare Group Pte. Ltd., which in turn owns 60% of each of the Medical Partners (collectively, the “O2 Healthcare Group”).
