IHH Healthcare said on November 4, 2026 that more than 300 employees in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia are leaving the company, about 380 staff in total. The departures represent about 0.5 per cent of the group's 76,000 employees across the three markets.
Why it matters
The move reflects IHH's consolidation of business support services as it standardises processes across its network. It follows the company's June collaboration with Infosys on an AI-powered enterprise resource planning system.
About 380 employees, roughly 0.5 per cent of IHH Healthcare's 76,000-person workforce, are affected across Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia. The company operates 190 healthcare facilities in 10 countries, including four hospitals in Singapore; the breakdown of departures by market was not disclosed.
The players
IHH Healthcare
A Singapore-headquartered healthcare group operating 190 facilities across 10 countries, including four hospitals in Singapore.
Infosys
An Indian multinational information technology services company that is partnering with IHH on an AI-powered enterprise resource planning system.
The details

Some staff will move into redesigned roles as IHH consolidates its business support services. Affected employees receive enhanced severance, immediate career transition and outplacement support, and a confidential feedback channel.
Timeline
June 2026: IHH announced its collaboration with Infosys on an AI-powered ERP system.
November 4, 2026: IHH announced that more than 300 employees were leaving across three markets.
Market Landscape
The cuts are tied to IHH's AI-powered enterprise resource planning system, developed with Infosys, which is being rolled out first in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. The consolidation of back-office functions shows how large healthcare groups are using enterprise automation to streamline support operations across their networks.
The company states there will be no immediate changes to business operations or existing contracts with suppliers, partners and vendors. Patients at IHH facilities are not expected to see direct service changes from the consolidation as described in the source.
The takeaway
Large healthcare groups are increasingly consolidating back-office functions through enterprise software, which can reduce staffing in support roles while the company says frontline patient care is the focus of reinvestment. Employees affected by similar restructurings can look to severance terms and outplacement support as part of their transition planning.
