Higher patient load drives IHH Healthcare's net profit up by 9% to $75.4m

New hospitals also drove growth.

IHH Healthcare's impressive Q2 results showed that Southeast Asia's largest hospital operator remains in the pink of health.

The group's net profit rose 9% year-on-year to $75.4m (RM228.1m) during the period, driven by strong inpatient revenue growth and income contribution from a number of new hospitals.

According to DBS, IHH Healthcare is expected to deliver stable growth in coming quarters on back of strong healthcare demand in Singapore and Malaysia.

“Management remains fairly confident of attracting foreign patients and indicated that despite the weakening of regional currencies impacting traditional sources of patients (i.e. Indonesians, Malaysians), its efforts to reach other nationalities have paid off. It now sees more complex cases of Middle Eastern patients which aid in revenue intensities for its Singapore operations,” DBS said.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
