By GlobalDataThis year, RafflesMedical expanded its network of clinics with the opening of a new clinic at Hillion Mall in Bukit Panjang that also provides dental services.
Existing clinics located at Asia Square, Clementi and Nex in Singapore will be refurbished this quarter to serve the patients better.
Last quarter, the group reported revenue of S$114.9m ($82.47m) compared to S$116.9m ($83.9m) in the first quarter of last year.
The marginal decline was attributed to softer demand from foreign patients.
