CEO's MESSAGE
THE SUCCESS STORY OF SINCERE HEALTHCARE GROUP....OUR LEGACY
Family is one of the core tenets in Asian culture, dating back centuries from a time before Confucius up until now. SHG was born out of the recognition of a need to bring joy to couples who were seeking to build their families. After 10 years in service starting from 2010, SHG remains determined, motivated, and passionate to its core mission. As we celebrate SHG’s 10th Anniversary this year, we remember that it has always been a journey accompanied by the human touch of compassion, flexibility, fortitude, and of course, our honour of being unique within the IVF industry.
Throughout its years, SHG has faced numerous moments of reality influenced by both internal and external factors. SHG has always remained courageous, braving forth and never letting up its impetus to continuously update its knowledge, refine its techniques, and to embrace change. It is these crucial characteristics of SHG that have allowed SHG to recognise, manage, and overcome pitfalls.
Our customers’ success motivates me the most. I am a strong believer in providing good and attentive service to our customers and doing so has earned SHG their loyalty, patronage and recommendation to their families and friends. Since its inception, SHG has helped many of our customers to achieve their dream of starting a family.
SHG has grown from strength to strength, starting from one centre in Singapore to a total of seven centres within Asia in a span of 10 years. In Singapore alone, SHG has grown to have four centres within 5 years of operations.
Two major milestones for SHG were the opening of our first centre abroad in Xiamen, China in 2014, and in Johor, Malaysia in 2017. SHG’s strong growth has enabled us to open our second centre in Chengdu, China in 2018. Our services have also expanded from Obstetrics and Gynaecology and In-vitro Fertilisation to include Andrology Laboratory and Vascular and Interventional services. SHG’s story is one that is built from our past experiences, which enhance our present engagements and enable us to shape our future paradigm. This journey is SHG’s legacy.

My Dearest Sincerians,
As 2022 draws to a close, I am proud and thankful to look back on a year that has been filled with tireless and continuous hard work that delivered superior services to our customers.
Following a tumultuous couple of years, Sincere Healthcare Group shows improved results this year with potential for stable earnings growth over the medium to long term. We enjoyed many other successes in 2022, the most notable being the Cross-border Malaysia-Singapore Fertility and Minimally Invasive Surgery Symposium held in Johor Bahru on 24 September. As invaluable members of our Sincerian family, all of you have made a significant impact on the organisation and contributed to our growth and success.
2022 also marks our 12th Anniversary. To commemorate this occasion and in appreciation of your contributions to this special milestone, we awarded a service incentive and organised a Family Cinema Day for all Sincerians. The last twelve years would not have been possible without your dedication and vigour in carrying Sincere Healthcare Group forward.
Many others have helped build the Company into what it is today. I acknowledge with gratitude our alumni and their immeasurable contribution to the Company. It is impossible to name all of them here. They include Ms Jennifer Khoo Chye Yong (former Senior Human Resource and Operations Executive), Mr Kee Jun Yik (former Accounts Executive), Ms Yung Shin Chyi (former Embryologist) and Ms Si Cay Reen (former Lead Embryologist). We will not forget their dedication to their work.
The Company is, therefore, pleased to announce that Sincere Healthcare Group will award eligible Sincerians a Variable Bonus for the Year 2022 based on the Performance Appraisal period for 2022. This bonus will be paid in two tranches in February and August 2023. In addition, the Company acknowledges Sincerians’ contribution to our good corporate performance and will award eligible staff a Company Performance Bonus for the Year 2022 of up to one month’s salary in January 2023. Further details will be provided by the HR Department in due course.
Amidst a challenging global economic environment, I anticipate 2023 will be another challenging year. However, you have demonstrated your unwavering persistence and perseverance to weather tough times and I am confident that together, we will be able to overcome whatever challenges that might come our way in the new year. I count on you to shape and drive the future of Sincere Healthcare Group.
Thank you, once again, for standing with me in 2022. As we start a new year, our ultimate goal remains unchanged; to provide reliable and quality services to our customers. I call on all Sincerians to work together to achieve greater success in 2023.
From our Sincerian family to yours, have a safe, happy and healthy new year.
Regards,
Koh Lee Lee, Group CEO

Dear Sincerians,
I am sure all Sincerians know Dr Sharifah Halimah Jaafar, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, by now. She was in Singapore from 5 to 9 April 2022 to engage in a shared dialogue with Prof Ng and the team on fertility and in-vitro fertilisation. The 5-day event was fruitful and beneficial to us.
I am glad that Dr Sharifah has endorsed the collaborative partnership with Sincere IVF @ Medini and will be joining the Centre on 15 April 2022.
Let us warmly welcome Dr Sharifah to the Sincerian family and work together to continue to bring Sincere Healthcare Group into the future.
Regards

These are extraordinary times and we are facing challenges we have never faced before as an individual, an organisation, and a country. However, we are proud that all Sincerians have risen to the occasion and continued to provide great customer service that Sincere Healthcare Group (SHG) is known for.
SHG continues to focus on the health and well-being of our staff as a priority. In addition, we want to continue to grow profitably and expand our business in an increasingly competitive environment.

This alliance will enhance SHG’s patient clientele, operations and quality functions as well as enable SHG to leverage its capabilities on patient overall well-being and care. From the patients’ perspective, the services delivered will be consistent and seamless.
We are confident that our expansion initiatives will bolster SHG for success and elevate our patient-centric care and services to higher standards. As SHG continues to grow and expand, we look forward to every Sincerian’s continued support in delivering value to our customers while remaining focused on sustaining our competitive cost base.
