Abu Dhabi co-pay hits Mediclinic revenue | The National:
"Mediclinic International, which owns Abu Dhabi’s Al Noor Hospitals Group, said that its underlying earnings per share plunged by 19 per cent in the financial year that ended in March as the South African healthcare provider suffered from regulatory changes in the emirate. The London-listed group said in a statement that its underlying earnings per share dropped to 29.8 pence from 36.7 pence. Its shares fell by 5.64 per cent to £8.2 in afternoon trading. Abu Dhabi last year issued new insurance rules, where Emiratis were required to pay for a greater proportion of their private-sector treatment, starting from July, eroding earning potential of number of healthcare providers. But the emirate said this month it was reversing its policy for Emiratis in Abu Dhabi holding Thiqa health insurance cards, exempting them from paying 20 per cent of private treatment costs."
