GROWING MALAYSIAN
OPERATIONS
The Group’s 25 hospitals in Malaysia registered
year-on-year growth of 7.5% to reach RM2.71 billion
in 2015, driven mainly by organic growth from
existing operations and increasing activities at new
hospitals. Its profit before zakat and tax amounted
to RM209.61 million. The Group also recorded a
turnaround to profitability at KPJ Klang, while KPJ
Pasir Gudang and KPJ Rawang achieved positive
earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and
amortisation (“EBITDA”) and successfully narrowed
losses during the year.
Following capacity expansion in KPJ Johor, KPJ
Sabah, KPJ Penang, KPJ Rawang, KPJ Klang and
KPJ Bandar Maharani, the Group’s bed capacity
increased to 2,912 in 2015 from 2,846 in
2014.
The Group’s new hospitals, KPJ Rawang, KPJ
Bandar Maharani, KPJ Pasir Gudang and KPJ
Klang, have enabled the Group to penetrate
and serve new markets. As a result, these
hospitals recorded rapid inpatient and
outpatient growth.
KPJ also continued to expand its services and
healthcare team to cater to the growing needs
of both existing and new patients. The Group
recruited 48 new Resident Medical Consultants
and 96 Sessional/Visiting Medical Consultants
from diverse specialty areas, bringing the total
number of consultants practising at KPJ Group
of hospitals to 1,088. Medical Consultants of
various sub-specialties further enhance the
scope of clinical services provided in the
Group, such as Vitro Retinal surgery, Paediatric
Neurology, Paediatric Dentistry, Neonatology,
Clinical Haematology, Colorectal Surgery,
