KL Wellness City launches flagship tertiary hospital, pledging RM2m for B40 medical needs

KL Wellness City, Southeast Asia’s first purpose-built township to cultivate a lifestyle fully integrated with healthcare, has launched its flagship tertiary hospital through KL International Hospital Sdn Bhd (KLIH).

KLIH is set to be a 624-bed tertiary hospital, with the potential to expand up to 1,000 beds, and equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to provide a comprehensive and integrated healthcare service ecosystem that complements the overall healthcare and wellness concept and provisions within KL Wellness City. The first phase of KLIH is anticipated to reach a development value of RM1 billion, with an expected opening in the third quarter of the same year.

KLIH will feature 22 operating theatres, including provisions for robotic surgery and two hybrid operating theatres. The hospital aims to attract leading specialists to enhance care and use AI to minimise wait times for patients. Additionally, the hospital is pursuing Green Building Index certification, underscoring its dedication to sustainable development alongside its global healthcare services.

Health Minister YB Datuk Seri Dr. Haji Dzulkefly Ahmad, who was speaking at the event, said:

“This visionary development augurs well and complements the Government’s vision and effort to be the world’s leading medical and healthcare one stop centre. I’m pleased to see a strong commitment in investing and leveraging on information and communications technology (ICT) within the hospital, in its quest to be equipped with the first and best medical innovation including robotics in Malaysia.”

Additionally, KL International Hospital Sdn Bhd pledged RM2 million to support the medical needs of the B40 community in Malaysia. This initiative aligns with the company’s mission to advocate wellness and foster an all-inclusive community, while supporting the Ministry of Health’s goals in serving the healthcare needs of the underprivileged community in Malaysia.

This pledge came after the recent launch of the Health Equity For Affordable and Rapid Treatment (HEART) program, which offers free treatment to patients from government hospitals.
