Propose: This research determines the impacts of activity ratio towards company's performance in healthcare industries that are listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange. Five independent variables used in this study are Total Assets Turnover (TATO), Fixed Assets Turnover (FATO), Working Capital Turnover (WCTO), Receivables Turnover (RTO), Inventory Turnover (ITO). The dependent variable used in this study is a company's financial performance which is measured by Return on Assets (ROA) and Net Profit Margin (NPM). Design/methodology/approach: A total of 25 companies with complete data from the healthcare industries have been chosen. This study used secondary data derived from the financial statements over 6 years from 2017 - 2021. The data has been analyzed by using regression analysis in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Finding: The findings revealed that TATO, ITO, FATO have no impact towards ROA while RTO and WCTO have impact towards ROA. However, all variables have an impact on a company's performance that is measured by NPM. Practical implications: The paper recommends that companies pay attention to asset management and profitability ratios to improve their performance, and investors should consider these factors when investing in healthcare companies. Keywords: Activity Ratio, Firm's Performance, Healthcare Industries, Regression Analysis, Introduction The research was conducted to determine the impact of activity ratios towards company's performance in Singapore healthcare industry. In a globalizing world, firms have faced fierce competition among themselves, [...]

Background: Physician work hours directly influence patient access to health care services and play a vital role in physician human resource planning. We sought to evaluate long-term trends in hours worked by physicians in Canada, overall and by subgroup. Methods: We used Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey to identify physicians via occupation and industry coding information. We estimated descripti ve statistics and performed graphical analysis of the average weekly hours worked by physicians over the 1987-2021 period. Results: Overall, weekly physician work hours remained stable from 1987 until 1997, after which they declined. Average weekly hours decreased by 6.9 hours (p < 0.001), from 52.8 in 1987-1991 to 45.9 in 2017-2021. Among male physicians, work hours declined notably after 1997, while those of female physicians remained relatively stable at around 45 per week. Hours worked by married physicians declined significantly, amounting to 7.4 fewer hours per week (p = 0.001). In contrast, unmarried physicians displayed a statistically insignificant decline of 2.2 hours (p = 0.3). The COVID-19 pandemic was associated with a sharp but brief disruption in weekly hours; by the end of 2020, physicians' work hours had returned to prepandemic levels. Interpretation: These findings may indicate a long-term shift in work preferences among Canadian physicians; male physicians may be seeking a better work-life balance, which, in turn, has narrowed the gap in hours worked by sex, with potential implications for pay equity. Policymakers and planners should carefully consider changes in hours worked, rather than just the total number of physicians, to ensure an accurate evaluation of the physician workforce., Physician work hours directly influence patient access to health care services and play a vital role in physician human resource planning, but the current understanding of work hour trends among [...]
