“Q2 saw the normalisation of revenues and while occupancy and vaccination related revenues were lower than previous quarter, this was more than compensated by growth in ARPOB (average revenue per occupied bed) post return of elective surgeries and improved OPD footfalls. Medical tourism, however, continues to be at a third of pre-Covid levels and we expect this to normalise in the coming quarters. We continue to be optimistic about growth opportunity in the NCR region and are happy to have secured three prime locations for further strengthening of our network footprint in this region,” Dr Abhay Soi, Chairman and MD, Max Healthcare Institute, said.
