Mark Kurtser, CEO of MD Medical Group, said:
“In Q3 2021, we continued to demonstrate positive dynamics in our key operating and financial performance, in line with our performance earlier in the year. As a result, in the first nine months we demonstrated sustainable growth by significantly improving all key operational results, which was reflected in significant growth in our revenue. At the same time, revenue growth across all key business lines exceeded that of the volume of services thanks to higher average checks.
“I want to specifically highlight growth in deliveries by 9% year-on-year in the first nine months of the year. In particular, we saw strong 7% growth at our Moscow hospitals. At the same time, our regional hospitals in Samara and Tyumen also demonstrated very strong growth – by 51% year-on-year and 38% year-on-year, respectively. We continue to successfully ramp-up our new hospitals, which is a driver of further growth for our business.
“In the reporting period, we saw growth not only in our more traditional service lines which marked the inception of the Group but also across a wide range of services where we have been strengthening our competencies in recent years. Thanks to such services as oncology, internal medicine, traumatology and cardiology, we increased the number of in-patient days by 45%. We expect that the development of these medical services will continue thanks to the expansion of our network of multi-disciplinary hospitals and specialised centres, such as the recently opened out-patient Oncological Care Centre in Mozhaysk (the second of its kind in our network), where patients may be directed to Lapino-2 for further treatment.
“We have continued to successfully execute our investment programme focusing on the construction of five new hospitals, which we presented this summer. We are actively building two multi-disciplinary hospitals – in St Petersburg and Tyumen – which will initially focus on treating patients with COVID-19, thus contributing to the fight against the pandemic in these two major Russian regions. We will commission these hospitals by the end of 2021 and welcome the first patients early in 2022. In addition, we are at the planning and design stage for our upcoming three hospitals in Lapino and Domodedovo which we plan to open in 2023–2024, thus significantly strengthening our leading position in Moscow and the Moscow Region.
“As we demonstrated solid results in the first nine months of the year, we continue to ramp up our existing hospitals and build new assets in order to maintain our sustainable growth going forward”.
