Aurelius Healthcare a reasonably new player in the healthcare industry set up in 2019 has made a bold move by announcing its acquisition of its first hospital – the 100-bed multidisciplinary Nilai Medical Centre.
The group which aims to become a serious force in the industry claimed the acquisition is a strong fit with its plans to transform healthcare delivery and to provide favourable outcomes for patients’ health. With this acquisition, Nilai Medical Centre will start operating as Aurelius Hospital Nilai in September 2021.
Founder and Group Managing Director of Aurelius Healthcare, Dato’ Amir Firdaus Abdullah, said, “We are delighted with this acquisition, and with the rebranding of the hospital as Aurelius Hospital Nilai. We aspire for rapid growth and improvements on this excellent hospital with its dedicated doctors and staff. It will continue to serve the communities in Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, and Melaka, and shall be fully transformed for Oncology Care, Cardiology, Women & Children’s care, Orthopaedics, and all other clinical specialities of a tertiary hospital for patients at every stage of their life. There are plans to rapidly expand the hospital with an additional in-patient medical block to provide patients and care givers with exceptional care and support.
In May this year, Navis Capital Partners an investment firm which manages approximately US$ 5 billion in private equity capital and focuses on investments primarily in and around Asia, completed a majority investment into Aurelius Healthcare and is targeting to have 5-10 hospitals in its portfolio.
“This acquisition is also just the first step in our multi-step journey with Aurelius Healthcare and we encourage any party that wishes to take this journey with us to reach out for a discussion. We are open to partnership discussions on both greenfield and brownfield basis,” Edwin Fua, Partner at Navis Capital.
Aurelius Hospital Nilai will be led by Dr Darshini Kumar, the new Chief Executive Officer, and will be providing a complete spectrum of services and care within its Centres of Excellence which include a Cancer Care Centre, Heart Centre, Orthopaedic Centre, Women & Children Centre and General Surgery.
Aurelius Healthcare was founded in Malaysia by a team of industry veterans with global healthcare management experience who aspire to modernise and make healthcare more accessible across the nation.
