Government subsidy upgrades could bolster Raffles Medical

All of its clinics are CHAS-approved.

Raffles Medical Group (RMG) could get a boost in its local patient load amidst the government’s revamp of its healthcare subsidies as announced during the National Day Rally 2018, CGS-CIMB said.

CGS-CIMB believes that RMG could uplift its potential earnings as its over 80 clinics are all approved to provide the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS).

“Overall, we expect demand for Singapore healthcare services to be underpinned by an ageing population and increasing insurance penetration,” the firm said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
