Raffles Medical Group gears up for hospital expansion

It is on the prowl for clinical staff to join its team.

With the upcoming Raffles Hospital extension in the last quarter of the year, Raffles Medical Group is extensively beefing up its workforce.

According to OCBC Investment Research, the Raffles Medical Group has been recruiting more specialist consultants, management and clinical staff.

"The development will see the hospital expanding the scope of clinical services as well as capacity for outpatient specialist centres and in-patient facilities," analyst Jodie Foo said.

Additionally, at least 50 beds will also be added progressively.

"Although the near-term outlook for demand seems to be relatively flat, management believes in the growth potential that justifies the extension," the analyst said.
