NEW HOSPITAL DEVELOPMENTS -
ESTABLISHING A SUSTAINABLE
PATHWAY
Growing Our Network, Expanding Capacity
KPJ today operates Malaysia’s largest network of private specialist
hospitals with a presence in almost every state. All our existing 22
hospitals are running at almost full capacity on the back of strong
demand for quality healthcare services. To meet the growing needs
of local communities and medical tourists for quality hospitals as well
as to reinforce our lead and establish a sustainable pathway for the
Group amidst a highly competitive healthcare landscape, we continue
to focus our efforts on growing our network and expanding our existing
capacity.
Our long-term plan calls for us to roll out a minimum of two new
hospitals per annum and we have set our sights on rolling out another
eight hospitals over the next four years. Six of these hospitals have
been identified for development under the Healthcare National Key
Economic Area of the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) and
this augurs well for the Group’s performance going forward, particularly
on the medical tourism front. We are committed to investing some
RM864 million to develop these seven new hospitals over the next few
years, including the six under the ETP
Strong Inroads on the New Hospitals Front
May 2012 saw the RM50 million KPJ Klang Specialist Hospital
in Bandar Baru Klang, Selangor commencing operations. With a
built-up area of 300,000 square feet (sq. ft.), this facility boasts a
maximum capacity of 200 beds and 29 consultant suites as well
as ample space for various medical services and facilities. Aside
from catering to the local community, this hospital also caters to
medical tourists.
