It was another very positive year for
KPJ’s Hospital Operations, marked by
capacity expansion in existing facilities
and the opening of new hospitals in
Malaysia, as well as steady progress of
our ventures in neighbouring countries
within ASEAN.
STRENGTHENED MALAYSIAN
OPERATIONS
The Group’s hospitals in Malaysia turned
in a 15% year-on-year (YoY) increase in
revenue to RM2.363 billion from
RM2.054 billion in 2013, due mainly to
robust growth in the number of patients
and increased operational activities. A
good part of the revenue was contributed
by KPJ Sabah Specialist Hospital, KPJ
Klang Specialist Hospital and KPJ Pasir
Gudang Specialist Hospital, as well as
the newly-opened KPJ Rawang Specialist
Hospital and KPJ Bandar Maharani
Specialist Hospital. With the two new
hospitals, the Malaysian network now
comprises 25 hospitals. In tandem with
the Group’s expansion, we are bringing
on board experienced medical spcialists.
By the end of 2014, KPJ had up to 1,062
medical consultants.
The segment’s profit after tax (PAT) in
2014 also improved, by 14%, to
RM173.6 million from RM152.7 million in
2013. This was contributed by the
significant increase of profits registered
in KPJ Ampang Puteri Specialist
Hospital, KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital,
KPJ Kajang Specialist Hospital, KPJ
Tawakkal Health Centre, KPJ Perdana
Specialist Hospital and Sentosa Medical
Centre. KPJ Tawakkal Health Centre
continues to offer the best ambulatory
care services within the Klang Valley and
in 2014 recorded more than 40%
increase in patient numbers. KPJ Klang
Specialist Hospital, KPJ Pasir Gudang
Specialist Hospital, KPJ Bandar Maharani
and KPJ Rawang Specialist Hospital,
meanwhile, recorded negative profit as
they are still going through their
gestation period, which is the norm.
