The management is focusing its attention to further strengthen its infrastructure and other facilities. Much scope is expected in the overall performance and revenue generation.

OPPORTUNITES AND THREATS

Opportunities are plenty due to increasing population, Governmental Health Insurance Schemes and the emergence of India as a medical tourism destination. Sophisticated equipments, links to other medical centers and the ability to treat a complex range of ailments are providing plenty of opportunities for the growth of the industry. The need for speciality hospitals by the people is gradually increasing. Threat of stiff competition by the hospitals situated adjacent to your hospital is the cause for decrease in the margins. Strict enforcement of reducing the operational cost is expected to overcome this threat.

RISKS AND CONCERNS

With the advantages of an excellent location supported by the existing senior consultants, your company is confident of continuing to grow.
