Leading medical providers, innovations lauded at Healthcare Asia Awards 2025

The awards programme recognised the region’s finest healthcare providers, medtech firms, and pharmaceutical innovators.

Healthcare excellence took centre stage at the Healthcare Asia Awards, Healthcare Asia Medtech Awards, and Healthcare Asia Pharma Awards, where visionaries driving innovation across the industry were celebrated. From groundbreaking advancements in patient care to revolutionary developments in pharmaceuticals and medical technology, this year’s winners have set new benchmarks for excellence.

The awards programmes honoured the bold ideas and transformative solutions, recognising the passion, dedication, and ingenuity that continue to push the industry forward and shape the future of healthcare. It was a night of well-deserved recognition, inspiring achievements, and a shared commitment to improving lives across Asia.

In recognition of his leadership in smart healthcare, Dr Der-Yang Cho of China Medical University Hospital was named CEO of the Year. He has driven digital transformation, biomedical innovation, and a patient-first approach that has established CMUH as a global pioneer in healthcare excellence.

“Thank you very much for this recognition for the China Medical University Hospital in Taiwan,” Cho said upon receiving his award, whilst expressing his gratitude for the hospital’s recognition in AI and digital transformation. “We also dedicate it to the team in charge of CAR-T therapy. In CAR-T therapy, we focus on allogeneic CAR-T therapy for solid tumours, now with approval by the U.S. FDA and Taiwan FDA. Thank you for giving us this recognition.”
