In addition to the ISO 9001:2008 certification,
PASB officially received the Good Distribution
Practice Medical Devices (GDPMD) Certification
Scheme in November 2014, indicating
compliance with Malaysian medical device
regulatory requirements as stipulated by the
Medical Device Act 2012 (Act 737). The GDPMD
certification underlines PASB’s dedication and
commitment to quality and further strengthens
its capabilities and service offerings to
customers.
In 2014, PASB recorded revenue of
RM349 million, marking an increase of 5.42%
over the preceding year. This is in line with the
increase in the total number of hospitals within
the Group and other related activities.
KPJ PUSAT PAKAR MATA CENTRE FOR
SIGHT
KPJ Pusat Pakar Mata Centre For Sight (CFS)
serves as a centre of excellence in eye care,
providing quality clinical care at a reasonable
price to the local and international community.
Its range of specialty services goes beyond the
minimally invasive laser technique to correct
vision defects (called Lasik Relex Smile) to
cornea and vitreo-retinal surgery, glaucoma
treatment, cataract removal, oculoplastic
surgery and paediatric ophthalmology.
CFS currently operates out of three branches,
the newest being launched in KPJ Tawakkal
Health Centre (THC) on 11 October 2014 in
conjunction with World Sight Day. Offering
outpatient and day-care facilities, the three
branches combined treat more than 20,000
patients and perform over 2,500 procedures
annually.
The centre also rolled out 48 external and four
in-house screenings over the course of the
year. These eye screenings form part of KPJ’s
corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities
to create awareness of how prevention is better
than cure. Most of these activities were carried
out in conjunction with World Glaucoma Week
2014, World Sight Day 2014, Retina Disease
2014 and CFS THC Open Day, and received
tremendous response from the public.
By investing in state-of-the-art equipment and
with continuous aggressive marketing
strategies, CFS registered a total turnover of
RM9.7 million, 28% higher than in 2013.
INTRAPRENEUR COMPANIES
KPJ believes in helping our staff grow along
with us. Towards this end, we have introduced
the concept of “intrapreneurship” through
which we support entrepreneurial ventures of
our people. To date, we have seen
intrapreneurial ventures develop in the areas of
stationery and printing supplies,
pharmaceuticals and, most recently, centralised
kitchen services.
Central Kitchen was set up in 2013 within the
vicinity of KPJ Klang Specialist Hospital to
supply in-patient meals to its neighbouring
hospital. On 1 October 2014, it extended its
service to KPJ Rawang Specialist Hospital. The
aim, eventually, is for it to cover the entire KPJ
Group of hospitals.
