Major customer and Supplier

Major Customers
Due to the nature of the business, the customers mainly comprise individual patients and corporate clients and thus, the company is not dependent on any single individual patient or corporate client. They provide healthcare services to employees of certain companies. These companies are their corporate clients. Therefore the company can avoid the risk of concentration on a few customers which will affect the company's business if the main customer leaves the company. 
 
Major Suppliers
The suppliers consist of private laboratory diagnostic companies, manufacturers, and distributors of pharmaceutical products and medical supplies, and consumables. The top 5 suppliers are as follows:
 
According to the details, the top 5 suppliers are over 70% of all the suppliers, this shows that the company highly relies on the top 5 suppliers, therefore they can bargain with the suppliers to get a better offer price of the material/service. However, highly relies upon several suppliers will face supply chain issues if the supplier's side meet has an unexpected issue. 
 
 

Industry Overview

According to the research from Protege Associates, Malaysia’s population stood at 32.7 million in 2021, supported by a large productive labour force of 15 years to 64 years old that accounted for 69.6% or 22.7 million of the population. The Malaysian population grew at an average of 1.1% over the last 5 years, mainly due to a relatively low to moderate crude birth rate of 15.5 per 1,000 people as well as a low crude death rate of 4.7 per 1,000 people. The principal causes of death in Malaysia are old age, heart diseases, respiratory diseases, infectious and parasitic diseases, and car accidents.
 
Malaysia is on track moving into an ageing population, where the elderly population aged 65 years and above accounts for 7.4% in 2021 and is projected to reach 14.50% by 2040. The growing elderly population number is anticipated to increase the demand for age-related medical care. 
 
Furthermore, lifestyle factors such as diet and smoking, and a sedentary and stressful lifestyle have also contributed to diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Between 2011 and 2019, the prevalence of diabetes among those 18 years old has been increasing from 11.2% to 18.30%. In 2019, 30% of the population aged 18 and above are having hypertension. Obesity is one of the factors that would increase the risk of a person developing gastrointestinal diseases and disorders. Common gastrointestinal issues included acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (“GERD”), indigestion or dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome (“IBS”), and haemorrhoids. The prevalence of obesity in Malaysia has been on an increasing trend for people aged 18 years and above from 15.20% in 2011 to 19.70% in 2019. The general increase in these non-communicable diseases over the years undoubtedly increased the need for healthcare services. 
 
In 2019, the Malaysian private healthcare service market was valued at RM 14.89 billion, a growth of 10.8% from 2018 mainly due to an increase in patient volume as consumer demand for quality healthcare services remained high. Healthcare service providers are also reaching out to healthcare travellers, leveraging on the Malaysia Year of Healthcare Travel campaigns that seek to reinforce Malaysia as a preferred healthcare travel destination. In 2020, the Coronavirus Diseases (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the subsequent movement control orders (“MCO”) and border closures had caused a reduction in inpatient volumes as patients opted to postpone non-urgent and non-essential treatments and deferred visits to hospitals. The healthcare services market in Malaysia contracted by 2.3% from RM14.89 billion in 2019 to RM14.55 billion in 2020, due to the widespread economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The private healthcare services market is estimated to value at RM15.44 billion for the year 2021.
 
Protege Associates' research team assumes that the healthcare industry will grow in the short term (2022-2023) is likely to be affected by continued economic recovery and reopening of borders as Malaysia moves to its endemic phase. The ongoing and continuous COVID-19 vaccination effort should further facilitate the recovery of the healthcare services market in Malaysia. In the medium to long term (2024- 2026), the healthcare services market in Malaysia is anticipated to restore to its pre-COVID level as economic activity including the healthcare travel industry continues to recover. Malaysia’s growing ageing population and increasing affluence are anticipated to drive demand for private healthcare as life expectancy, chronic disease, and comorbidity rise. The Malaysian healthcare services market is projected to remain resilient in the long term and register a CAGR of 9.6% from RM15.44 billion in 2021 to RM24.46 billion in 2026.

MQ Trader View 

Opportunities
  1. Hospital businesses have strong cash flow as the business runs on cash terms / insurance claims. 
  2. Business easy to expand as the company is using light asset model (leasing) to carry out their business
  3. According to Protege Associates research, the population structure in Malaysia benefits the hospital business. (Refer to Industry overview)
  4. Professional team and modern medical equipment and facilities. The company has a reputable and experienced team of consultants supported by nursing staff and clinical support staff. Besides, the company has invested in modern medical equipment and facilities at the medical center that includes 3 endoscopy rooms and 2 operating theatres.
 
 
Risk 
  1. Inflation will affect the price of pharmaceutical products, when the price of pharmaceutical products increases people might prefer to choose other private hospitals or government hospitals. 
  2. There is a lease risk if the lessee does not want to continue to rent the shop lot, the company has to spend extra expenditure to seek for a new location and transfer their equipment.
  3. The business is subject to or reliant on approvals, licences, permits, or certificates issued by the relevant Malaysian authorities. If the company is unable to comply with the terms and conditions imposed by the relevant authorities, the approvals, licences, permits, or certificates may be revoked, suspended, or not renewed, which could have a material adverse effect on our business operation, financial condition and prospects, as well as penalties, fines, potential criminal prosecution being imposed/initiated against us and/or our directors.
  4. High reliance on relevant professionals. Doctors are the main assets towards the business model, where doctors are responsible to provide advice and surgery to their customers. Therefore hiring reputable and qualified doctors could be challenging. It will be costly in both monetary and time to seek for relevant professionals.
