    THE gain from divestment in Apollo Hospitals helped double global healthcare provider IHH Healthcare Berhad's net profit for the first three months of the year.

    Its first-quarter net profit rose to RM470 million (S$151 million), following a RM313.4 million gain from the group's divestment of a non-core 6.07 per cent stake in Apollo Hospitals.
