Commentary
OVERVIEW
Life Healthcare had a positive trading performance for the period ended 31 March 2021 (H1 2021, or the current period), particularly given the continuing impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic (COVID‑19).
During the current period, the Group experienced the full impact of the second COVID‑19 wave, whereas the effect of the first COVID‑19 wave in six months ended 31 March 2020 (H1 2020, or the prior period) was felt primarily in the international business, with the southern African business impacted for only a two-week period in March 2020.
