Revival of foreign patients to uplift Parkway REIT’s hospitals: analyst

Foreign patients accounted for 25% of hospitals’ revenue.

As medical tourism recovers, Parkway REIT’s Singapore hospitals will be seeing recovery as 25% of their revenue relies on foreign patients during the 2019 period.

In UOBKayHian's brokerage report, Parkway REIT’s hospitals in the Lion City have been uplifted by reopening of borders in April 2022.

In fact, the REIT’s revenue intensity went up 23% in the first half of 2022.

“Foreign patients have returned in significant numbers after Singapore reopened its international borders in April 2022. This was offset by a significant tapering of COVID-19 related services,” said UOBKayHian.

It also noted the REIT' further expansion in Japan, which includes the acquisition of two nursing homes.

“PREIT trades at a premium due to its resiliency and the scarcity of its healthcare properties,” said UOBKayHian.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
