Healthcare specialist TVM boosts Southeast Asia coverage

Dr. Ronald Ling (pictured) joins as an operating partner, having spent more than 20 years working with healthcare companies in a consulting, operational and private equity investment capacity. He has previously served as leader of PwC's Asia healthcare practice and before that spent 10 years with Schroder Capital Partners (now known as Symphony Asia Holdings).

The two senior advisors are Karen Tay Koh, formerly deputy CEO of Singapore-based SingHealth, and Hui Hsing Ma, who has worked with TVM since 2004 and previously co-led healthcare investments for Vertex Ventures in the US and Europe.

"We see significant potential in Southeast Asia, a region facing new healthcare challenges borne out by significant socio-economic developments and in increasing need of high quality healthcare services. We believe there is vast opportunity to lead the way in providing world-class healthcare to Southeast Asia's growing and increasingly affluent populations," Hoda Abou-Jamra, founding partner of TVM, said in a statement.

TVM Capital Healthcare Partners is part of TVM Capital Group, an affiliation of global VC and PE firms that has over the last 15 years become increasingly focused on healthcare. It manages a series of dedicated life sciences venture capital funds out of Montreal and Munich, while the healthcare private equity group operates out of Dubai.

Established in 2007, TVM Capital Healthcare Partners makes investments that fill gaps in healthcare provision in emerging markets, including the Middle East, North Africa, India and Southeast Asia.
