KPJ Healthcare Bhd has served the community for 30 years with compassion and commitment, constantly providing quality medical services that span the complete continuum of care and improving the lives of those around us.

Today, this mission continues to drive us forward and we strive to deliver on our promise of quality care while contributing to the advancement of a vibrant and healthy community.

We chose “Care for Life” as KPJ’s basic tenet because it epitomises our approach to patient care where our employees embrace the Group’s culture of excellence and are empowered with the skills of enhancing patient experience at our hospitals.

Having delivered compassionate care for three decades, we continue with our life story of service to the community by giving through words and deeds – caring for patients in various ways, sharing words of encouragement with those in pain, lending a helping hand to the elderly, needy and less fortunate.

In so doing, we Strengthen Our Commitment to Caring, which is the theme of our 2010 Annual Report.

The 2010 fscal year was signifcant for KPJ, during which the Group registered substantial financial and operating growth. It has also achieved a number of noteworthy milestones over the past 12 months.

The recovery of the Malaysian economy, which expanded by 7.2% in 2010, alongside the launching of the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) by the Malaysian Government is targeted to propel the nation’s economic development to greater heights.
