Chularat Hospital Public Company Limited (CHG) signals a strong recovery in the second half, especially in the third quarter, which is the peak season for the hospital business, supporting full-year revenue growth at a mid-single-digit level, despite first-half growth of only 3.5%. Meanwhile, patients from Myanmar have increased significantly after the border reopened, with Chularat Mae Sot Hospital serving as a strategic point to receive this group of patients. As for investment plans, the company continues to proceed according to its target of 900 million baht per year, with the flagship project, CHG Rayong International, with 200 beds, expected to commence operations in the third quarter of 2027. However, management expressed concerns about the Social Security budget, which has not been adjusted for 2-3 years, while treatment costs continue to rise, especially for cancer patients, forcing hospitals to bear the excess burden themselves.
