KUANTAN: TDM Bhd’s healthcare arm, Kumpulan Medic Iman Sdn Bhd (KMI Healthcare), recorded a revenue of RM78.1 million in the third quarter (Q3) of 2022, a 38 per cent increase compared with RM56.4 million in the same period the previous year.
KMI Healthcare chief executive officer Dr Rayney Azmi Ali said various factors contributed to the financial result, including the increase in the use of beds and ownership of insurance by the society.
