KPJ KL REHABILITATION
CENTRE
Rehabilitation is a process aimed at
removing, or reducing as far as possible,
restrictions on the activities of people
with disabilities and enable them to
become more independent and enjoy
the highest possible quality of life.
In 2015, KPJ KL Rehabilitation Centre
continued its effort to help patients gain
independence quickly and safely by
enhancing its quality of service.
Throughout the year, this was achieved
by providing one-on-one therapy
sessions, in line with our belief that
personalised therapy is vital in helping
patients overcome their physical
disabilities. For the year in review, KPJ
KL Rehabilitation Centre recorded an
increase of 72% in its number of new
cases from 2014.
KPJ also renewed its contract with
PERKESO as part of the Return to Work
(RTW) programme for another three
years, reflecting the quality of service
and commitment provided to our
patients. The RTW programme was
introduced to help those suffering from
employment injuries to resume working
as soon as medically possible through
the provision of appropriate treatment
plans.
Another key development for the centre
during the year was the integration of
our rehabilitation health tourism package
which covers consultations, treatment
packages, airport transfer, shuttle
services and accommodation. KPJ KL
Rehabilitation Centre has received a
number of cases from the Middle East,
especially Oman, Iran and the UAE, as
well as Africa, particularly from Somalia.
In collaboration with KPJ Senior Living
Care, the KPJ KL Rehabilitation Centre
also provides treatment for residents of
the nursing facility, focusing on post-
stroke and post-operations rehabilitation.
This is in line with the Group’s mission
to make KPJ KL Rehabilitation Centre a
centre of excellence for stroke and
neurological rehabilitation. As part of
value-added services for KPJ Senior
Living Care, KPJ KL Rehabilitation Centre
also organises group activities for the
elderly residents centred on physical
and creative development.
As part of efforts at the Group and
Hospital level to create awareness on
the Group’s rehabilitative services,
during the year we undertook activities
including our Open Day, exhibitions,
packages and media promotions and
social awareness. Coverage of the
promotions were inclusive within KPJ
hospitals and were offered on patient
referrals as well as to the public locally
and abroad, focusing on positioning KPJ
KL Rehabilitation Centre as the premiere
facility for stroke and neurological
rehabilitation.
