“We are excited to develop, own and operate China’s first wholly foreign-owned private tertiary general hospital, Perennial General Hospital Tianjin, following China’s recent move to open up its healthcare sector,” said Perennial CEO and executive chairman Pua Seck Guan.



Perennial's key shareholders include Mr Kuok Khoon Hong of agribusiness group Wilmar and Mr Ron Sim, the founder of Osim International.
Located in Xiqing District, Perennial General Hospital was developed and equipped at a total investment cost of 1 billion yuan (US$137 million).

“The Singapore-modelled Shared Medical Platform also suppo

The hospital also has its own team of medical specialists
