Johannesburg - Netcare reported a 25% rise in full-year profit on Monday, helped by a strong performance in its home market.
Netcare, which also operates in Britain, said adjusted headline earnings per share totalled 142 cents in year to end-September compared with 113.2 cents a year earlier.
While demand for private healthcare has increased in the local economy due to a fast-growing middle class, tentative economic growth in the United Kingdom has led to a drop in the number of Britons with private medical insurance.
Netcare said revenue rose 10.4% to R27.8bn.
