Q&M Dental Group will not renew Acumen's lab licence, suspends operations

It will also close its joint testing and vaccination centre in Sengkang from 1 December.

Q & M Dental Group has suspended Acumen's laboratory operations, choosing not to renew its laboratory licence after its expiration on 15 September.

The decision reflects Acumen’s continued losses throughout 2023 and the first half of 2024, compounded by a reduced demand for COVID-19 PCR testing.

The group said that it plans to redirect potential cost savings toward developing new diagnostics-related ventures within Acumen’s portfolio.

Additionally, Q & M announced that it will close the joint testing and vaccination centre in Sengkang, effective 1 December, following Ministry of Health (MOH) directives.

The cessation of Acumen’s testing operations will halt its contributions to the group’s revenue, though Q & M assured that it will continue to pursue new MOH contract opportunities and explore reapplying for a laboratory licence in the future to resume clinical testing services.

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.
