CEO’s comments
We are proud of the fine results and growth in the second quarter. Several of our clinics made great progress at the same time as our new agreement in the United Arab Emirates was in force throughout the quarter and GHP Collaborative Care turned around and made a small profit. Moreover, results were impacted positively by the Easter effect that had impacted us negatively in the first quarter.

Both our spine clinics developed very positively during the quarter. In Stockholm we have had long queues for a long period of time due to demand being greater than the clinic’s capacity. We have now increased capacity at the clinic and early this autumn we should have achieved a good balance between demand and capacity. We have several new spine surgeons starting at the unit. We also continue to have strong development in Skåne and specialist dentistry.

At GHP International we have now completed the situation analysis of the hospitals, where we have gone through the status of all personnel, equipment and premises before we start in September. On the basis of this we have set up a plan for the takeover and the continued development of the business. As we have previously communicated, we are proud of the highly competent management team that we have employed and which will take up their employment in August. The actual agreement has been in force throughout the second quarter, but future payments can be both higher and lower than during this period depending on how our efforts are assessed. We have an optimistic view of our ability to deliver high-quality health care and achieve good results.
 
GHP Collaborative Care continued to develop and delivered positive results during the second quarter. The collaboration with Skandia is running very smoothly, and this structure has led to very positive development for both parties. We are now launching the next version of our physiotherapy app, which will help our patients with better information and instructions so that it is possible to train more independently at times and places chosen by patient him/herself.

We are continuing to raise the objectives of our quality work. We already have very good results, for example in the national quality registers, but we want to be even better. This year we are introducing a new quality process where we involve the whole business in the setting of the objectives, in action plans and follow-up. The basic idea is that the work on quality will be more concrete, with clearer objectives. Given how the year has started, we feel confident about the rest of the year. We have many exciting projects, but the most important thing is the continued development of the existing business, the takeover of the hospitals in the United Arab Emirates and the continuing work on GHP Collaborative Care.
