Raffles Med’s net profit up 2.9% to $15m in Q1

On back of higher patient load.

Raffles Medical today reported that its net profit grew 2.9% year-on-year to $14.98m in the first three months of the year, driven by increased patient load.

However, the higher revenue from increased patient load was offset by higher staff costs and depreciation expenses.

The higher increase in staff costs was due to the recruitment of more doctors, specialists, nurses and ancillary staff for new and expanded operations at RafflesHospital and upcoming new medical centres at Shaw Centre and Raffles Holland V, as well as additional bonus paid to nurses this quarter.

Raffles Med did not declare a dividend for the first quarter.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
