The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), through its Philippine Trade and Investment Centers (PTIC) in New York, Seoul, Sydney and Taipei, shared valuable market intelligence and identified concrete global opportunities for Philippine healthcare information management service providers during the Global Market Outlook and Demand for Health Information Management Services conference organized and facilitated by DTI Region 6 on 19 August 2026. The event brought together government and industry stakeholders to explore growth prospects across key international healthcare markets.

During the conference, PTIC-New York identified opportunities for Philippine providers in revenue cycle management, clinical documentation, and healthcare analytics in the United States, while PTIC-Sydney discussed growing demand for offshore healthcare support services pressed by workforce shortages in Australia. PTIC-Seoul presented opportunities in health technology localization, hospital information systems, research coordination, and market-entry support for Korean health technology firms. Meanwhile, PTIC-Taipei delved Taiwan’s strengths in smart healthcare systems, and healthcare technology innovation. The country market briefings gave participants a clearer picture of where Philippine providers can compete and expand in the global healthcare ecosystem.

The participating PTICs later joined industry leaders from the Healthcare Information Management Association of the Philippines (HIMAP) in a panel discussion on practical strategies for Western Visayas. Discussions focused on expanding into higher-value services, strengthening the region's healthcare and technology talent pool, and preparing local firms for market-matching opportunities, international business missions, and potential partnerships in the United States, Australia, South Korea, and Taiwan.

Enterprises interested in exploring international healthcare information management services opportunities may coordinate with the Foreign Trade Service Corps (FTSC) through [email protected] for market information, business matching, and export assistance.

On 13 August 2026, PEZA Director General Tereso O. Panga welcomed representatives of Kairos Care/Kairos Medical Group at the PEZA Investment and Corporate Center to discuss the company’s investment plans. The delegation expressed interest in establishing export-oriented administrative and back-office operations serving its Australian and other global markets, as well as exploring partnerships with Philippine universities for internships and future talent recruitment.

PTIC-Sydney Commercial Counselor Emmanuel Ang referred the company to PEZA as part of efforts to connect Australian businesses with Philippine investment opportunities. During the engagement, Director General Panga highlighted the Philippines’ competitive advantages as an IT-BPO and investment destination, including incentives under the CREATE MORE Act, PEZA’s ecozone ecosystem, and the strong performance of Australian and IT-BPO companies registered with the Authority.

Kairos plans to eventually expand its Philippine operations to provide outsourced services to other healthcare organizations, while exploring potential partnerships with Philippine resorts for wellness, rehabilitation, mental health, and disability care programs.

Through PTIC-Sydney, DTI remains committed to facilitating Australian investment into the Philippines and advancing partnerships in IT-BPO, health services, and other knowledge-driven industries.
