webfact Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Bumrungrad Q3 profit plunges 79% year-on-year By THE NATION Bumrungrad Hospital (BH) said it earned a third-quarter profit of Bt221.52 million, a 79 per cent decrease compared to the same period in 2019 with a profit of Bt1.05 billion. BH vice chairman Dr Chanvit Tanphiphat informed the Stock Exchange of Thailand that total revenue in the previous quarter was Bt2.94 billion, a 38.6 per cent decrease compared to the third quarter last year. Chanvit said the decrease in earnings came from a limitation on travel by foreign customers for medical treatment during the Covid-19 crisis. He also mentioned that the revenue earned from foreign patients in the third quarter decreased by 59.9 per cent, while earnings from domestic patients increased by 3.4 per cent. The latter accounted for 56.1 per cent of the total. In the three quarters (nine months) of 2020, BH witnessed total profit of Bt1.031 billion, a reduction of 64 per cent compared to the first three quarters of 2019, which saw total profit of Bt2.86 billion. Total BH earnings in the first three quarters was Bt9.61 billion, decreasing by 30.8 per cent from the same period in 2019.

Lacessit Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Hardly surprising, thanks to their reputation they get a lot of medical tourism. Bet they are one of the companies lining up to bend the ear of the general about opening the borders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We visit Bumrungrad to see an orthopedist we have used for years. We visit the place for nothing else. She does her examination, makes her recommendations, lets us use our own therapists and doesn't prescribe meds from Bumrungrad's "Platinum Pharmacy". We've made a couple visits during the pandemic. In the past, one would find oneself swimming in a sea of burkas while on campus. The last couple times we visited, there were very, very few. Appears one of their biggest cash cows can't make the trip! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many companies have had to shut down! In my view Hospitals should be for the good of the patient and nothing else! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show how much they've been ripping off foreigners. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy one Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 My heart goes out to this hospital, NOT How can anyone that charges what this den of thieves charge not make a profit. Back in 2009 I had an accident and was carted off to this fine looking hotel. First question was give us your credit card, 5 minutes later I was admitted, being 30,000 baht poorer. Each day was the same until my insurance started to pay. After 3 weeks I had to sign a receipt for over 600,000 baht, thank god it was not my money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubble Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Don't be too harsh on Bumrungrad. They provide a slip road through the hospital for taxis coming in from Suvanabhumi airport to get into Sukhumvit Nana, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
