Commenting on the results, Dr. B.S. Ajaikumar, Executive Chairman, HealthCare Global Enterprises Ltd said, “We are happy to report a robust Q3 FY 22 with secular growth across regions and segments. The last six years as a publicly listed company have seen a sustained growth in footfalls and revenues. Our new patient registration has almost doubled since 2018 and we currently are above 100,000 new patients per annum which in turn has doubled the revenue in the said period. The fact that 85% of this revenue is Oncology centric is a clear testament of our business model in addition to the deep social impact that we make to the lives of thousands of patients and their families. Looking at the future, we believe that this growth will enhance not only on the back of the increasing longevity of patients but also a realization that cancer is now being viewed as a curable and chronic disease with a good lifestyle. With the addition of the labs and the clinical trials business, we are now uniquely positioned to not only enhance our diagnostic capabilities and offerings but potentially redefine precision medicine with end-to-end expertise spanning bioinformatics, genomics and research. With 25 hospitals, 21 of which are Oncology focused, we have built a niche platform in the Indian healthcare space and with our major capex cycles already done, I believe the future years will see the Company benefiting from these investments.”
Mr. Raj Gore, CEO HealthCare Global Enterprises Ltd., added, “We have delivered another quarter of sustained performance. This was our fourth consecutive quarter with all-time-record revenue and second consecutive quarter with all-time-record EBIDTA. Implementation of go-to-market plans across our network locations during last three quarters have started showing results through this profitable growth. Overall, these results were made possible through execution focus and hard work of entire HCG team and we remain committed to driving growth and optimizing operations in the coming quarters. As we look to the future, we want to build a long-term relationship with our patients to be their trusted advisor over a lifetime. With that objective in mind, we have begun our digital transformation journey to create an Omni-channel end to end patient engagement platform with the help of digital technology. We believe that this initiative will accelerate our growth in future and help HCG to solidify its leadership position in oncology.”
