(Since / Sejak 29 November 1994)
The company philosophy is clear - the organisation, guiding principles and leadership will inspire excellence,
encourage individual initiative and teamwork, harness the strategic synergy and collective focus to build on the
strengths of our skills and capabilities, operational and intrapreneurial excellence to be in the forefront to national and
international healthcare delivery and development.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Puteri Nursing College
At KPJ Healthcare, training and building a value-added workforce is an integral part of our services and
responsibilities. Heralding the nation's call to solve the challenge of inadequate supply of nurses, KPJ Healthcare
boldly took ownership of the critical situation and blaze the way to establish our own Puteri Nursing College (PNC) in
1991 and became the first corporate body to obtain Government mandate to upgrade the nursing qualification to
Diploma level and implement the 3-year course using the new curriculum.
Since then, PNC has initiated and led the country's nursing training by offering more specialised courses in major
disciplines like Operating Theatre Department Practices, Bachelor of Nursing and other clinical areas through
collaborative effort with reputable universities around the globe.
Human Resource
KPJ Healthcare's unceasing emphasis and strong investment in human resource development was reaffirmed when
our pioneer group of nursing graduates achieved 100 percent passes in 1994. To date, KPJ Healthcare stands tall
with PNC's untainted record of excellence and aspires to further establish PNC as the first international nursing
college in the region.
Professional Education
Fully acknowledging the human potential as the most important element in enhancing professionalism, management
expertise and turning visions to realities, KPJ Healthcare has further initiated and launched strategic affiliations with
international partners and foreign universities to provide continuing professional education to its team of consultants
and staff.
By helping to train and further develop healthcare professionals, KPJ Healthcare has undertaken the sponsorship of
doctors, pharmacists, nurses, paramedics, and other support personnel to meet the constantly growing demand for
quality healthcare services in the country.
Overseas Programs
To strengthen professional skills and knowledge in the respective areas of healthcare specialisation, overseas
attachment and programs such as hospital design brief planning and biomedical engineering in Dublin, Ireland,
cardiothoracic surgery nursing and health information technology in Perth, Australia are being undertaken.
The First
For the first time and until to-date, KPJ Healthcare is the only private healthcare player who has invested in the
training and further education for healthcare managers to boost the nation's manpower and management needs in
the sector into the next millennium.
KPJ Healthcare's international partnerships were forged from the meeting of minds uniting in a shared vision, mutual
respect and the realisation of unlimited opportunity through the exchange of skills, knowledge and resources. Since
the first alliance with MPC International, USA in the early 1980's, transcending cultural and economic landscapes,
KPJ Healthcare is committed to strengthen closer and deeper international interaction with Irish, European,
American, Australian and other Asia-Pacific concerns.
In 1993, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between KPJ Healthcare and PARC Healthcare International,
Ireland to enhance the quality of KPJ Healthcare hospital services. The MOU for healthcare consultation and
education in hospital planning, design and commissioning truly reflects KPJ Healthcare's commitment, credibility and
integrity to lead the Malaysian healthcare industry towards a higher level of professionalism and advancement.
Developments in the Pharmaceutical Business saw KPJ Healthcare being sought in a collaborative partnership with
Medicine Shoppe International, United States. Joining the Medicine Shoppe family of over 1,000 franchised
pharmacies around the world and with the launching of PharmaCARE Medicine Shoppe in Malaysia, Singapore,
Brunei, Indonesia and Thailand, KPJ Healthcare is capitalising on the element of entrepernuership to spearhead the
nation towards Vision 2020.
In the arena of health infrastructure and human resource development, KPJ Healthcare has established firm links
with local universities such as Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and University Teknologi Malaysia and looks forward
to establish further ties with local institution of higher learning to spearhead public-private sector interface in
addressing national healthcare concerns.
Building trust and reputation is a continuous corporate commitment for KPJ Healthcare and indeed the commitment
extends beyond the treatment of illness to the promotion of good health. KPJ Healthcare has forged an affiliation with
the McGannon Institute of Preventive Health based in Paris, France to conduct the Health Management and
Wellness Program in an effort to promote greater health consciousness among Malaysians.
Multi-national Teamwork
With the cultivation of multi-national teamwork, KPJ Healthcare will advance medical and professional education,
research and development of patient and hospital services and contribute towards achieving the country's vision to
be the medical centre of excellence in the region.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
In future developments, KPJ Healthcare will continue to look into new services, new markets and the expansion of
existing services.
We firmly believe that our aspirations are achievable as a number of related healthcare activities strategic to our
continuous corporate growth have been identified:
Increase the number of specialist hospitals and develop new hospitals, local and overseas
Manufacture related health care products for local and export markets
Initiate new hospitals services and support activities
Develop network of community-based healthcare services
Enhance continuous education and training of healthcare professionals
Intensify avenues for state-of-the-art applications in information technology and telemedicine
Strengthen affiliations to further develop and expand the growth of related healthcare industries
Continue to strive for excellence in its healthcare delivery system through its Quality Improvement Program
Each project will be carefully planned and evaluated to ensure compatibility with the company's goal: to be a
progressive and premier healthcare group providing the highest quality, highest value healthcare products and
services to the people we serve.
