Bangkok Chain Hospital Public Company Limited, or BCH, said third-quarter 2026 operating results are likely to continue recovering from the second quarter because this is the high season for the business. The company began seeing good signals from late May through June, and expects fourth-quarter 2026 growth to continue on the back of recovering foreign customers, especially the Middle East segment, which has grown 100% since the first quarter of 2026, particularly Qatar. The hospital still targets single-digit revenue growth this year. The company is in talks on more than 10 mergers and acquisitions, and will select only hospitals in suitable locations that can genuinely generate growth, after its latest investment in Ratchavej Ubon Ratchathani Hospital worth about 490 million baht, which is expected to be completed by the end of this month. It also plans to modernise systems to generate profit quickly. In addition, BCH is preparing to meet the Social Security Board for the second time on 7 September 2026 to adjust capitation rates for all items, with completion expected within 90 days or before 24 October 2026. The company is confident that next month's Social Security Board election will not affect the discussions because this is routine work that must be forwarded to the tripartite board, and the Social Security Fund remains strong after the maximum contribution was raised to 875 baht per month from 750 baht.
