KPJ plans to roll out a minimum of
two new hospitals
per annum
to meet high market demand and ensure
continued growth in our performance
KPJ plans to open the KPJ Perlis
Specialist Hospital and KPJ Pahang
Specialist Hospital in 2015. The KPJ
Perlis Specialist Hospital will be our
maiden foray into the northern-most
state of Peninsular Malaysia. KPJ is
jointly developing the hospital in
collaboration with Yayasan Islam Perlis
on a 4-acre site in Kangar, Perlis where
it is expected to serve a population of
around 250,000 throughout the state of
Perlis and southern Thailand. Built at an
initial development cost of about
RM46 million, the first phase of the
development will enable the hospital to
provide 60 operating beds with allowance
to raise the capacity to a total of 90 beds
at a later stage. The new facility will
feature some of the latest diagnostic
imaging facilities and medical equipment,
and will also be equipped with operation
theatres alongside an intensive care unit,
labour room and more than 30 medical
consultant suites. Once the hospital is
completed, it will also offer
physiotherapy, haemodialysis, 24-hour
accident, emergency and outpatient
services.
