Abhay Soi, chairman, and managing director, Max Healthcare Institute Ltd., said: “…despite the traditionally weak Q1, we could deliver our highest ever quarterly revenue and improve profitability at bed level. While our installed capacity increased by 4% on a YoY basis, we maintained our occupancy levels with higher occupied beds across the network.
In the past year, we have significantly strengthened our projects and digital teams to reinforce our thrust in both these areas, which is intrinsic to our growth going forward. I am proud of the success and positive feedback received for our Max MyHealth app which has now been fully rolled out." Max Shalimar Bagh, which saw a capacity addition of 122 beds in recent months, reported a YoY revenue and Ebitda growth of 37% and 43% respectively, with an average occupancy of 7%.
