Another strong year for private hospitals

BIMB Securities Research said it expects the impact on demand for private-hospital care to remain minimal in the near term.

PETALING JAYA: Private-hospital operators in Malaysia are expected to deliver double-digit earnings growth this year, says BIMB Securities Research.

The growth momentum will be sustained on the back of consistent increases in inpatient and outpatient visits, with the recovery in admissions continuing this year.
