Private hospital group Mediclinic says patient hospital stays are returning to pre-Covid-19 levels, but the pandemic continues to impact its operations.
"With pre-pandemic seasonality returning, patient volumes were also impacted in the quarter due to patients and staff contracting Covid-19," Mediclinic said. The summer period is Mediclinic's quieter period, and the group expects seasonality to return following eased travel restrictions. At Hirslanden, Mediclinic's Swiss operations, the hospital group saw patient numbers affected by holidays in April and July, as well as Covid-19 related disruptions. This was further compounded by additional costs due to the need for more staff to deal with absenteeism and a shortage of general nurses.
