Raffles Medical Group expects uptick in net profit: report

Domestic medical services largely normalised in H2 2020.

Raffles Medical Group (RMG)will largely recover in 2021 as domestic medical services and patient volume return to normalised level, according to a report by UOB Kay Hian.

Since 20 October, private hospital admissions in Singapore are down by only 9% YoY.

The report also said that with the expected reopening of borders, the COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction tests that have been made available for travellers at the RMG network of clinics could be increasingly utilised as air travel returns.

General practice clinics of the group may also be utilised for local vaccine administration.

“We estimate that RMG clinics make up about 2% of the private GP clinics in Singapore. Assuming a COVID-19 vaccination programme in which private GP clinics are included as part of the administration, we see marginal benefits from vaccination volumes of possibly 50,000-100,000 at RMG clinics, assuming a full population vaccination,” the report said.

The report forecasted earnings to recover by 50%-60% HoH in H2 2020.

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.
