Additionally, there has been an increased demand for private healthcare, which has resulted in rising operational costs.To adapt to these changes, Gilly has made some strategic decisions. They have discontinued a particular program and are now planning to introduce new, intensive courses in January 2024, specifically designed to address the issues faced by clinic owners.
