RMG benefits from early investment in healthcare app; H1 net profit falls 38.2%

Singapore

RAFFLES Medical Group's early investment in its digital healthcare platform, RafflesConnect, has allowed its hospitals and clinics here to integrate offline and online services to better serve patients amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

Despite more patients accepting telemedicine as a new, convenient way of accessing healthcare, it will not be able to substitute the clinic and hospital business as some symptoms may still require patients to follow-up with a doctor's appointment, said Raffles Medical Group executive chairman, Loo Choon Yong at a media briefing on Monday.
