Truven Opens in Singapore

US-based Truven Health Analytics has opened an office in Singapore, led by Sandeep Makhijani who joins as Regional Director Asia Pacific.

The company, which was formerly Thomson Reuters' healthcare data, analytics and performance benchmarking arm, offers a range of solutions such as research database MarketScan, healthcare payer decision tool Advantage Suite, clinical reference Micromedex, reporting suite CareDiscovery, and hospital operating trends tool ActionOI - all combined with expert analysis.

Makhijani (pictured) joins with a sixteen-year background in the IT and healthcare sectors. Most recently he worked for IT solutions firm CSC, where he set up the Health Services Applications business in Asia; and earlier he held leadership roles at healthcare software firm Allscripts, and senior positions at SAP and IBM in India.

Commenting on the launch in Singapore, Per Holst-Hansen, VP Global Sales, said: 'With the establishment of the new office, Truven Health Analytics brings more in-house local expertise, training and consulting services as well as customer support resources closer to our clients of Micromedex solutions in Asia Pacific. Our regional presence demonstrates our long term commitment to our growing customer base as well as channel and solution partners in the Asia Pacific region.'
