Interview: Charles Wang, Group CEO, Luye Medical Group

Formed as recently as 2015, Singapore-based Luye Medical Group has become one of the major contenders in health care services across China, Australia and SE Asia. It is part of the Luye Life Sciences Group which owns Luye Pharma Group, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in China and separately listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Luye Medical Group acquired Healthe Care, the third largest Australian for-profit hospital operators in 2016. It has since expanded its business rapidly adding healthcare operations such as oncology (Singapore), inpatient, outpatient and community based health care services (Australia) and rehabilitation and maternity hospitals (China).
