SJMC, part of the Ramsay Sime Darby Health Care Group, was recognised for its excellence in three areas which Frost & Sullivan deems as “imperatives” in the digital health industry: Transformative Mega Trends, Disruptive Technologies, and Innovative Business Models.
Trish Hogan, chief executive officer of SJMC, said, “Celebrating our 36th year in healthcare, the prestigious Frost & Sullivan award is testament to our years of being a trailblazer with multiple firsts in the industry and a deep commitment to exemplary cancer care and high patient care standards.”
