Hospitals are now considering the utilisation of cloud technology to make healthcare more affordable and accessible on a huge scale. AI and machine learning are also at the forefront of innovative healthcare services such as early cancer detection, whilst some hospitals have joined the metaverse and bought virtual land on the platform as part of their offerings.

We sat with Dr. Kelvin Tan, Head of Adult Reconstruction Service at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, to discuss the company’s innovation ERAS, which helped reduce patients’ hospital stays from six days to only one. Read the interview on page 10. Single-specialty orthopaedic hospital ALTY recently purchased the most advanced equipment for orthopaedic care in Malaysia. Anwar Anis, Executive Director for ALTY Orthopaedic Hospital, talks more about this investment in an interview on page 14.

The industry has proven its resilience in the face of unprecedented challenges to continue serving the people. The products, initiatives, and pandemic management frameworks of healthcare providers have allowed everyone to return to a safer environment. Healthcare Asia recognised the companies that have made significant strides in the industry this past year in the Healthcare Asia Awards 2022. See the full list of winners on page 22.
