Chin Wei Jia
Executive Director and Group CEO
Chin Wei Jia personifies HMI Medical’s 3C values – compassion, competence and collaboration – by constantly exhibiting inspiring leadership qualities since she joined HMI Medical in 2002 after the Asian financial crisis and the September 11 attacks. Joining from the time when the organization was undergoing corporate restructuring enabled her to gain rich industry knowledge and valuable hands-on experiences through 22 years of challenge, growth and transformation.
Today, Wei Jia continues to play a pivotal role in charting ambitious corporate growth plans despite facing increased industry pressures related to rising cost and talent shortages. She remains steadfast in building a future-proof health ecosystem that delivers the best possible quality, service and value to patients, customers and communities in the countries we serve.
By working collaboratively with doctors, team members and industry stakeholders, she has successfully launched several market-first health service offerings, turned around loss-making operations as well as developed comprehensive ambulatory care and specialist centers that offer personalized and cost-effective care options – further enhanced by strategic partnerships with leading medical technology organizations and university hospital systems. She also spearheaded major health-tech integration initiatives through a corporate managed health care service platform to offer value-based and convenient access to care beyond HMI’s owned facilities to a regional network of medical and wellness providers.
Through her active participation on boards and committees that impact business, health and social causes, Wei Jia is passionate about continuing the journey of transforming health care, empowering communities and leaving a lasting legacy for future generations.
