0359 GMT - IHH Healthcare's integration of its India units, Fortis and Gleneagles Healthcare India, may enhance operational efficiency and drive long-term growth, says MBSB Research in a note. Fortis will manage five of the six hospitals within the GHI network. By integrating GHI's operations, Fortis can leverage its extensive network to improve procurement, implement better protocols, and provide consistent patient care, it says. The integration is expected to strengthen IHH's presence in India and unlock growth potential through operational synergies. Despite potential risks such as cultural differences and regulatory challenges, IHH appears well-positioned to manage them, it says. MBSB has a buy rating and target price of MYR8.18 on the stock, which is 0.3% higher at MYR6.64. (yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
