KPJ is also working towards the opening
of the iconic KPJ Bandar Dato’ Onn
Specialist Hospital in Johor Bahru by
early 2017.
In addition to expanding its domestic
market, KPJ is also aggressively striving
for a bigger piece of the health tourism
pie, targeting for the segment to
contribute consistently to the Group
revenue.
Apart from growing its hospital-based
care services, KPJ is set to innovatively
venture into new sub-sectors, one of
them being senior living care. This
sub-sector is developed upon a
groundbreaking healthcare-based model
based on our investment in Jeta Gardens
in Australia. It is a relatively untapped
market and KPJ anticipates good
prospects in the future.
Another sub-sector in which KPJ is
making great inroads is healthcare
education. The Group made history in
2011 when it became the 1
st
private
healthcare provider approved by the
Ministry of Higher Education to set up its
own Medical School offering specialist
post-graduate programmes. This will
plant new seeds of possibilities for the
country and the industry as a whole to
translate their experiences and talent
into marketable skills relevant to
healthcare.
The Board is confident that all these
efforts will accelerate its transformation
to become not only a market leader but
to ultimately become a healthcare
innovation leader.
The Board takes this opportunity to
express appreciation to the strong and
diverse management team. I also take
this opportunity to thank all employees
for their dedication and tireless
commitment, without which KPJ would
not be where we are today.
On a personal note, I would like to
acknowledge the immense and invaluable
contributions of my fellow Directors –
thank you for your constant and wise
counsel which has helped to keep the
Group on an even keel especially as we
charted our way through various
challenging moments.
Thank you.
