IHH Healthcare CEO Advocates Shorter Hospital Stays and Care Closer to Home

Dr Prem Kumar Nair, Group CEO of IHH Healthcare, said advances in technology and artificial intelligence are enabling faster, more accurate diagnoses and making shorter hospital stays possible.

  • Operational Strategy: IHH is focused on building a continuum of care that integrates general practitioners, polyclinics, ambulatory centres and hospitals to deliver care closer to patients’ homes and community settings.
  • Clinical Impact: With improved diagnostics and better care coordination, procedures that once required prolonged hospitalisation can now be safely performed with shorter stays — for example, reducing stays from seven days to about three.

This summary is based on an interview with IHH Healthcare published by The Straits Times.
