CCCS holds public consultation on proposed TalkMed acquisition

The consultation will determine whether the acquisition by Tamarind Health would be anti-competitive.

The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) is inviting public feedback on the proposed acquisition of TalkMed Group by Tamarind Health Limited (THL).

Last 13 January, CCCS accepted a joint application from both companies for a decision on whether the transaction would be anti-competitive.

THL is active in medical oncology in Singapore. Outside of Singapore, THL’s activities include post-cancer, advisory and consultation services in Malaysia; medical and radiation oncology services in the Philippines, and oncology services in Hong Kong.

Meanwhile, TalkMed provides medical oncology services, adult and paediatric blood disorders treatment, haematologic malignancies and palliative healthcare services. The group also provides cellular and gene therapy-related products and services.

TW Troy Limited, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of THL, will acquire all the issued and paid shares in TalkMed.

Public feedback can be submitted starting 21 January to 5:00 pm on 31 January.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
