Mr. Raj Gore, CEO HealthCare Global Enterprises Ltd., added, “Our quarter performance showcased a standout 15% growth in ARPOB, a significant turnaround in Kolkata with over 50% growth, a commendable 17% growth in Mumbai and revenue mix improvement due to radiation business growth. The EBITDA in the quarter was driven by improved contribution margins, albeit partially offset by reduced operating leverage due to the festival impact in Q3.

Recent acquisitions in Nagpur and Indore have progressed in line with our plan and are rightly placed to consolidate our position. Additionally, I am happy to Introduce our cancer care app “HCG Care”—a one-stop solution for patients to navigate seamlessly from consultation to second opinions, diagnostics, pharmacy needs, homecare support, and post discharge follow-ups, ensuring a smooth and personalized journey.
