Fullerton Health has acquired Singapore-based otolaryngology practice The ENT Clinic to deepen its specialty care capabilities in its home market. The acquisition represents a strategic move to strengthen the healthcare provider's presence in ear, nose, and throat services, which has been identified as a top specialty focus for the group. The ENT Clinic, founded by Dr. Jeeve Kanagalingam in 2015, has grown from a single-doctor practice to a network of five specialists operating across three clinics in Singapore's medical hubs at Camden, Novena and Gleneagles Tanglin. These specialists cover various crucial sub-specialties of ENT and have established a strong reputation for clinical excellence.
Acquiring a market leader with strong brand perception in Singapore's ENT clinical services not only expands Fullerton Health's clinical service capabilities but also enables the group to tap into new opportunities and serve more patients with quality coordinated care. The acquisition will enable Fullerton Health to better deliver integrated, patient-centric healthcare services across Southeast Asia by expanding its network of high-quality specialist care. The group's existing specialist care capabilities in Singapore include cardiology, orthopaedics, and endocrinology, among others. Following the acquisition, The ENT Clinic will be able to access the group's ecosystem of coordinated medical care, enabling seamless multidisciplinary collaboration and enhanced care for Fullerton Health's patient base of over 4.5 million covered lives across the region.
Fullerton Health's Specialist Division will collaborate closely with the ENT specialists to unlock new growth opportunities and deliver integrated ENT care to patients across the group's extensive regional network. The ENT Clinic's team will continue to operate under its current brand name, ensuring continuity of care and preserving the trusted relationships it has built with patients and referring physicians. Supported by Fullerton Health's operational expertise and network, the clinic will also explore opportunities to expand service offerings, invest in technology, and strengthen clinical service initiatives in ENT care. Joining Fullerton Health marks an exciting new chapter for The ENT Clinic, with strong synergies in partnering with a well-established healthcare organisation with deep operational and clinical expertise.
The acquisition enables Fullerton Health to strengthen its presence in the ENT space, which has been identified as one of the top specialties for the group given the high referral volumes and synergy within the group's services, which include diagnostic imaging, executive health screening, primary care, and network management referral.
