Nurturing Our Society
Building Healthier and Stronger Communities
With our people, size and reach, we have a responsibility to do good by giving back to the communities in which we operate. As a responsible healthcare network, we are doubling down on our efforts to reduce disease burden.
We are enhancing the health literacy, health screening and disease management programmes we provide to the public, focusing first on cancer and cardiovascular diseases, the top two causes of mortality.
Contributing to the Needs of Our Communities
Helping to boost public health reduces the burden on healthcare systems and society. Some ways we can contribute with our medical expertise:
- Reach local communities through corporate responsibility (CR) efforts.
- Raise awareness and prevention of key diseases.
- Champion education and enforcement of best practices to combat antimicrobial resistance.
Goal
To touch five million lives* for healthier communities by 2025.
*Number of lives touched includes cumulative number of patients utilising IHH services targeted at reducing antimicrobial resistance and disease burden, and number of beneficiaries reached through our corporate responsibility programmes.Targets
- 100% of hospitals enhancing antimicrobial resistance interventions in line with CDC, WHO, and national guidelines by 2025.
- Reduce disease burden from cancer and cardiovascular diseases through screenings, education, and programmes.
- (ACHIEVED) Establish public corporate responsibility initiatives in at least two core markets* by 2023 to make quality healthcare available to all.
2023 Progress
- 100% of our hospitals established Antimicrobial Stewardship Programme (ASP) committees and developed country-specific guidelines, covering common infections and common procedures.
- Touched nearly 1.3 million lives for healthier communities.
- Achieved goal of establishing flagship corporate responsibility programmes in Malaysia and Singapore.
