LNA SANTE presents solid results for the first quarter of 2024 and is concerned about new pricing reforms

LNA Santé announces operating revenue of 189.3 million euros for the first quarter of 2024, marking organic growth of 6.9% year-on-year. The positive results are evident in all sectors, particularly in the medico-social segment in France (EHPAD) and the health sector, but are tinged with concerns regarding government reforms.

The group raises serious concerns regarding new pricing measures that could harm the fluidity and quality of care provided, particularly in medical care and rehabilitation clinics. These reforms could threaten accessibility to specialized rehabilitation pathways for the most vulnerable patients. LNA Santé criticizes the government's approach, perceived as a lack of consultation with stakeholders on the ground.

However, the group reaffirms its commitment to quality service and plans to continue its growth momentum despite regulatory challenges, with an organic growth forecast of greater than 4.5% for the current year.
