  • IHH Healthcare Invests in Genomic Medicine Company to Provide Cancer Patients Better Treatment Outcomes
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Kuala Lumpur/ Singapore, 20 November 2019 IHH Healthcare Invests In Genomic Medicine Company to Provide Cancer Patients Better Treatment Outcomes • Led minority investment in genomic medicine start-up Lucence • Offers patients clinically validated blood-based cancer screening and treatment monitoring solutions with a focus on cancers commonly found in Asia • Embraces value-based healthcare approach that aims to improve clinical outcomes through less invasive, more precise, and more affordable technology IHH Healthcare (“IHH” or the “Group”), a leading premium global healthcare provider, led a minority investment in Singapore-based genomic medicine company Lucence as part of a USD $20 million Series A. The investment is part of IHH’s collaboration with start-ups to deploy innovative and cutting-edge healthcare technology to enhance the patient experience, treatment and clinical outcomes across its network of 80 hospitals in 10 countries. In Singapore, for example, IHH is working with a local start-up to improve estimated bill size for patients ahead of admission through predictive AI. The partnership with Lucence will give IHH patients access to Lucence’s suite of cancer diagnostics and AI- driven analytics. Lucence uses liquid biopsy, a blood-based technology that is less invasive than tissue biopsies, to help clinicians discover a range of information about a tumour and aid in their treatment decisions through a simple blood sample. It focuses on Asia-prevalent cancers such as lung, breast, colorectal, pancreatic, nasopharyngeal and liver cancers. Dr Kelvin Loh, Chief Executive Officer (Designate) of IHH Healthcare, said, “Liquid biopsy is a game- changer in our endeavour to provide cancer patients with better, value-driven outcomes through precise treatment selections and more affordable care.
