Singapore, 6 April 2020 – Fullerton Healthcare Corporation Limited (“Fullerton Health”), the

resilience and commitment to stakeholders amidst economic uncertainty arising from the

and a network of over 12,000 third party providers, Fullerton Health is vertically integrated

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank the investors of the perpetual securities for
their confidence, trust and strategic input over the last three years. Our ability to combine

in the operational and financial strength of Fullerton Health. We will continue to execute our
mission to provide affordable and accessible care for all in Asia Pacific,” said David Sin, Group

prepared with its diversification strategy across markets and its service lines, built and wellexecuted over the years. It serves to buffer the impact from the COVID-19 situation.
“Our robust and quick infection control response ensures safety of our staff and viability for
patients to access quality care. Our close operational relations with key clients allow us to
customise support efforts to help them care for their employees’ health and well-being during
this difficult time,” said Ho Kuen Loon, Group Chief Executive Officer of Fullerton Health.
