Ekachai Medical Care Public Company Limited (EKH) has revealed that the resurgence of COVID-19 and influenza outbreaks has significantly increased the number of outpatient (OPD) and inpatient (IPD) cases. The company is confident that its second-half performance will surpass the first half, as this is the high season for hospital business, and it will also benefit from revenue from new hospitals. Meanwhile, Khun Hospital Rama 2 has a bed occupancy rate as high as 95%, with plans to add 10-15 more beds from early to mid-next year.
