The company is navigating geopolitical challenges, US macro-economic headwinds, capex funding constraints, and input-cost pressures with mitigation actions underway.
Restructuring and Cost Optimization
Plan is underway to shut down/restructure 5 loss-making clinics, with two already actioned and two more to be relocated to save costs.
