Singapore's Plan for New Hospital Unlikely to Weigh on Listed Healthcare Providers -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-10

0813 GMT - A potential new not-for-profit hospital in Singapore isn't likely to weigh on listed healthcare operators, says DBS Group Research in commentary. The government plans to release land for a 300-400-bed hospital, its first tender for a private hospital in nearly two decades, the DBS analysts note. The proposed hospital would operate with restrictions on the size of bills, suggesting it would likely target the cost-conscious patient segment rather than the premium healthcare segment served by IHH Healthcare's high-tier hospitals. Raffles Medical is also unlikely to be affected as its integrated healthcare system would drive its own patient flow, they add. Singapore's healthcare sector continues to be supported by structural tailwinds such as an ageing population, although rising costs remain key to watch, they say. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
