History

Initially known as Fortis Colorectal Hospital (FCH), the 31-bed facility first opened on 31 July 2012, costing $70 million and owned by Fortis Healthcare.[1] It was later acquired by Concord Medical Services Holdings Limited in April 2015 and renamed Concord International Hospital (CIH).[2] [3]

In 2015, CIH entered collaboration with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Centre (MDACC) of the United States.[4] In November 2018, CIH opened its Women's Centre which has a team of specialists in breast, aesthetic and plastic, gynaecological and minimally-invasive surgery.[5] The hospital also treats colorectal cancer,[6] prostate cancer[7] and breast cancer.[8]

CIH was suspended over lapses in patient safety in December 2020[9] and was divested by Concord Medical.[10] It was subsequently taken over by Crawfurd Medical and resumed operations in July 2021 under its current name.[11]
