iRad currently operates four radiology clinics in prime locations across Hong Kong, including in Central, Jordan and Mongkok.

Mr. Dennis Tam, President and CEO of Black Spade Capital, said, "We are very pleased with the acquisition. According to research conducted by Frost & Sullivan, iRad is the largest specialist medical imaging group in Hong Kong, based on revenue and market share. The growing expectations of the general public for reliable medical services present favourable opportunities for the private healthcare sector. We therefore see tremendous growth potential in iRad and will look forward to witnessing synergies between iRad and the other investments in our portfolio."
Dr. Matthew Ngan, Chairman of iRad, said, "iRad has been committed to providing quality medical services to society for over 15 years. It is one of a select few operators in Hong Kong that offer comprehensive radiology services. Such services are exactly what is needed to alleviate the considerable pressure on the Hong Kong public healthcare system due to growing demand, and thus ensure the sustainability of the entire healthcare ecosystem in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, we are capitalizing on our strength as market leader and have been formulating development plans with Black Spade Capital that will expand our services not only in Hong Kong, but also the Greater Bay Area. We look forward to embarking on a new chapter of development with the support of Black Spade Capital."
Mr. Kin Wong, CEO of iRad, said, "iRad is a name trusted and recognized by medical practitioners and patients alike. We are very optimistic about the market. The ageing population, greater awareness of preventive healthcare by the public and initiatives such as Public-Private Partnership program in the medical sector are all developments that will catalyse our growth. In seizing the opportunities that emerge, we will be offering all-round services from our dedicated team of radiologists who possess expertise in neuroradiology, cardiac, mammogram, prostate, musculoskeletal imaging and other related disciplines. Furthermore, by leveraging our relationship with Black Spade Capital, we will be well positioned to provide even more diversified healthcare services to serve the community."
