Mark Kurtser, CEO of MD Medical Group, said:
Â
"2021 started successfully for our business, and in Q1 we significantly increased our revenue by 40%. This growth was driven by the following two factors - gradual recovery in demand for elective care, which led to stronger revenue and operational performance in our traditional area of service such as women's healthcare, as well as further development of our recently launched services such as oncology, orthopedics and traumatology and COVID-19 treatment. Â
Â
"In-patient days grew significantly by 75%, mainly thanks to our performance in internal medicine and oncology, traumatology and orthopedics, as well as surgery, while the respective revenue grew 143%. Our deliveries grew 11%, which together with growth in the average check by 2% resulted in 14% growth in revenue from deliveries. Â
 Â
"A key driver behind our growth continued to be our Lapino hospital. Since the beginning of the year, Lapino-2 restarted oncology treatments. Following the launch of the bacteriological and PCR laboratory at Lapino-2, we expanded our laboratory services offering. In addition, we opened a dentistry department offering a wide range of services using state-of-the-art equipment at Lapino-2. In the reporting quarter, we significantly expanded the Lapino complex with the opening of the new Lapino-4 building specialising in treating patients with coronavirus and other infectious diseases. As a result of admitting and treating thousands of patients with COVID-19 from March 2020, as well as providing out-patient treatment during the pandemic and carrying out related lab tests, we have significantly strengthened and expanded our medical competences. We have gained invaluable experience, which is a further step towards the continued diversification of our services and should help us further develop our internal medicine offering, as well as intensive care and anesthetic capabilities for treating patients in other areas."Â
