Kuala Selangor, 14 April 2025 - KPJ Healthcare Berhad (“KPJ Healthcare” or “the Group”) today officially launched its 30th hospital, KPJ Kuala Selangor Specialist Hospital (“KPJKS”), reinforcing the Group’s commitment to expanding access to private specialist healthcare in Malaysia’s growing communities beyond major city centres.

Officiated by Minister of Health Malaysia, YB Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad, the ceremony was also attended by Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr Ismail Bakar, Chairman of KPJ Healthcare, alongside members of the Board of Directors and senior management. The launch marks a strategic milestone in KPJ’s nationwide network, bringing specialist services to a district historically underserved by the private sector.

We are growing with purpose, guided by our promise of Care for Life and the shared values that define our services - Committed, Accountable, Respectful and Excellence. Our goal is not only to expand our reach, but to help build a healthcare system that is fairer, stronger and truly accessible to every Malaysian.
