    NEW Silkroutes Group may have gone in many directions over the last three years, but its management has a clear long-term route in mind for the group's healthcare business.

    This journey begins by landing hospital management contracts - perhaps complemented with strategic primary care acquisitions - and then acquiring equity in the hospitals, perhaps with the possibility of building up to a healthcare Reit in the future.

    "We are more likely to become a strong healthcare player than a strong energy player," says chief executive officer Goh Jin Hian, referring to the firm's two main businesses today.
