KIMS Hospitals IPO Review – About the Company
Founded in 1973, Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences Limited (KIMS) is a healthcare group that currently operates mainly in AP and Telangana. Since its inception, the hospital chain has grown both organically and through a series of acquisitions.
According to a CRISIL report commissioned by KIMS, based on the number of patients treated and treatments offered KIMS is the largest corporate healthcare group in the 2 states.
They operate 9 multi-specialty hospitals with a total bed capacity of 3,064, including over 2,500 operational beds as of March 31, 2021. The report shows that the group has 2.2 times more beds than their nearest competitor in the state.
Their flagship hospital located in Secunderabad (Telangana) is one of the largest private hospitals with a capacity of 1,000 beds if medical colleges are excluded.
It is important to note that one-third of this capacity was added in the last 3 years. But the hospital has successfully improved its bed occupancy rate from 71.83% to 78.60% over these years.
They offer many healthcare services, including oncology, cardiac sciences, neurosciences, gastric sciences, orthopedics, renal sciences, organ transplantation, and mother & child care. In addition to this, each of its hospitals also offers diagnostic services and pharmacies.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on KIMS Hospitals
The pandemic and the lockdowns that followed have also affected KIMS. Their hospitals faced a substantial decline in in-patient and out-patient volumes in March and April in comparison to February last year.
This period also put their staff of healthcare workers at a heightened risk. This has increased their costs in order to ensure the safety of their staff.
