Dear Colleagues,

Earlier this month, we were proud to have once again participated in the Asia Summit on Global Health (ASGH), co-organised by the Hong Kong SAR Government and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), marking our fifth consecutive year as the event’s Future Private Health Partner. The prestigious platform has allowed us to exchange insights with global healthcare leaders and explore cutting-edge innovations that are shaping our industry. Notably, our Group CEO Dr Prem Kumar Nair, supported the event as Honorary Advisor and a plenary speaker, sharing visionary perspectives on how the latest investment and market opportunities, corporate innovation strategies and multi-sector partnerships have helped reshape healthcare delivery. I also had the pleasure of joining a panel discussion on the topic of data-driven healthcare, where I highlighted GHK’s data-driven initiatives taken to help us transform patient care and journey. Let’s continue to harness the different insights and stay curious about global trends to help elevate our care standards and embrace transformative technologies together!  

We have been actively collaborating with universities, startups and healthtech companies to translate cutting-edge technologies and excellent research outcomes into clinical applications. Riding on the ASGH, we have kick-started our collaborations with a few healthtech startups, including PanopticAI and SmartCare, both nurtured by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, as well as Emerging Viral Diagnostics (HK) Limited (EVDL), a partner of Hong Kong Baptist University. We are set to partner with PanopticAI and SmartCare to develop and implement AI-powered smart clinic solutions at Gleneagles MediCentre to be launched in late 2025, while the collaboration with EVDL involves the integration of its innovative diagnostics system with our laboratory and telemedicine services. We were privileged that Dr Prem, the presidents of the universities, as well as the representatives of our partners and HKTDC joined and witnessed the collaboration agreement signing ceremony. 

Internally, we spare no effort in developing our staff and strengthening teamwork to keep our team strong and cohesive. During the month, we conducted a 360° review exercise which aims to help staff including heads of departments grow in their respective roles, better understand their strengths and limitations, and reflect on areas that are thriving and those that may require more attention. I believe that the review will have a positive impact on the overall development of each department, encourage more communication and interaction among colleagues, and improve team cohesion and efficiency.

As we celebrated the International Nurses Day and thanked our nurses for their unwavering dedication to patient care, we presented the Excellent Mentor Awards to 19 nurses in recognition of the training and guidance they have provided to nurture our healthcare talents. Thank you nurses for your continuous effort and commitment to delivering exceptional care to our patients!


Warm regards,
