Sterilization Services
To further improve the Group’s efficiency and trim
operating costs, KPJ opened its own Certified Sterilization
Service Centre (CSSS) in Rawang, Selangor in 2011
together with its joint-venture partner, Steril Gamma
Sdn Bhd.
The centre, which is owned and operated by KPJ’s
subsidiary Sterile Services Sdn Bhd (SSSB), was officially
opened by the Minister of Health, Dato’ Sri Liow Tiong Lai,
on 11 January 2011.
It essentially functions as the central sterilization and
supply network for sterile goods, where it is responsible for
the logistics relating to the management, supply, collection
and delivery of sterile goods to KPJ hospitals. This central
sterilization of all medical instruments from KPJ hospitals
will result in significant cost savings and greater efficiency
for the hospitals.
Currently, its services are provided to Klang Valley hospitals
but will be extended to KPJ hospitals in other parts of the
country in future.
SSSB’s operations are properly documented and processes
are carried out in compliance with certified standards, as
the company is aiming to achieve its ISO certification in 2012,
specifically the QMS and sterilization process certifications.
As a pioneer in Malaysia’s independent sterilization and
decontamination CSSC service sub-sector, SSSB vision
is to provide services that conform to international
quality standards.
KPJ Eye Centre
To further enhance its specialist services, KPJ Group had
in December 2010 acquired a strategic 80% stake in Sri
Kota Refractive and Eye Centre Sdn Bhd, which has its
main office in Petaling Jaya, Selangor and a branch in
Rawang, Selangor.
Branded as Pusat Pakar Mata Centre For Sight (CFS), the
eye centre has been operating in Selangor since 2004.
Currently, CFS offers outpatient and day care facility for
about 20,000 patients and performing 1,600 procedures
annually, alongside a comprehensive range of eye surgery
services including sub-specialties in cornea, vitreo-retinal
surgery, glaucoma, cataract, refractive surgery / lasik,
oculoplastic surgery and paediatric ophthalmology.
As part of its expansion plan, CFS is planning to open
another branch in Kuala Lumpur in 2012, investing about
RM10 million to set up the 5,000sq ft facility.
Healthcare Technical Services
KPJ’s rapid expansion called for the services of project
managers and this boosted the growth of Healthcare
Technical Services Sdn Bhd (HTSSB), in which KPJ holds
a 30% interest.
HTSSB specializes in project management, specifically
the construction of hospital buildings and is actively
involved in the development of KPJ’s new projects as well
as the expansion at existing hospitals.
