Raffles Medical faces an upward trend in 2022F

This is due to the planned reopening of Singapore’s borders and economy.
 
In a report by RHB, Raffles Medical (RFMD) is predicted to have an upward trend for the financial year 2022.

The planned opening of Singapore’s borders and the economy is seen as the reason for this. 

According to the report, the opening borders would also result in more COVID testing. As RFMD is the exclusive healthcare service provider at Changi Airport, this group is seen to benefit from this. This includes PCR tests for post-arrival air travellers and passengers under the Vaccinated Travel Lane. More COVID-19 tests are expected at workplaces and communities. 

Community care facilities are also expected to contribute to the growth. With Connect@Changi, which is currently handled by RFMD, this is expected to augment current hospital capacity.

The vaccination drive is also expected to taper off. With 80% of the population being vaccinated, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has plans to reduce the number of Vaccination Centers, with a shift to Public Health Preparedness Clinics in mind. RFMD operates 14 of these VCs, which could lead to lower 2H21 revenue for its healthcare business.

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.
