Growing Demand for Specialised Treatment is Driving Growth

The demand for specialised care like cancer treatment and complex surgeries is increasing. This is leading to higher earnings for hospitals, as seen through rising Average Revenue per Occupied Bed (ARPOB) and better occupancy levels. With more elective surgeries being carried out and hospital capacities expanding, revenue is expected to grow further. Medical tourism is also playing a bigger role, contributing about 5–7% of total income and growing faster than the rest of the sector.

HCG to See Big Changes with KKR Gaining Control

HCG, a leader in cancer care for the past 30 years, is seeing major investment activity. Global investment firm KKR will acquire up to 77% stake in the company, including public share purchases.
