IHH Healthcare has acquired a full stake in Prince Court Medical Centre for $250m via its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Pantai Hospital Sdn Bhd, the group said in a press release. With this acquisition, IHH Healthcare becomes the owner of 16 hospitals in Malaysia.

Prince Court Medical Centre is a 277 single-bed private healthcare facility located within the ‘golden triangle’ business district of Kuala Lumpur. It offers a wide range of medical, surgical and hospital services including burns management, oncology, gastroenterology, interventional cardiology, nephrology, orthopaedics, rehabilitation medicine, in vitro fertilisation and occupational health.
