Sunway Medical Centre Ipoh houses Perak's first PET-CT scan and surgical robotic-arm system.
PETALING JAYA: Sunway Healthcare Group has officially launched its RM430 million Sunway Medical Centre Ipoh in the presence of the Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah and Raja Permaisuri of Perak Tuanku Zara Salim.
Sunway Medical Centre Ipoh is equipped with 165 licensed beds, 63 consultation suites, eight operating theatres and 24 critical care units, with an addition of eight paediatric and neonatal critical care bays.
It houses Perak's first PET-CT scan and surgical robotic-arm system, offering cutting-edge cancer diagnostic and treatment services, as well as robotic knee replacement surgery.
Apart from a dedicated Cancer and Nuclear Medicine Centre, the hospital is home to six Centres of Excellence, covering Cardiology, Orthopaedics, Neurosciences, Clinical Oncology, Women and Children’s Health (including NICU and Neonatology) and Digestive Health. The hospital covers a total of 37 medical specialties and sub-specialties.
Sunway Healthcare Group president Datuk Lau Beng Long said that Sunway Medical Centre Ipoh benefits from the group’s network of facilities that include a full spectrum of care, from quaternary and tertiary hospitals to day-patient services and step-down care.
"As Sunway Medical Centre Ipoh is part of our Sunway Healthcare Group integrated framework, it is supported by our flagship quaternary hospital, Sunway Medical Centre, located in Sunway City Kuala Lumpur,” said Lau.
Sunway Medical Centre Ipoh chief executive officer Choy Wah Wei said: "We are committed to providing quality healthcare to communities in Perak, increasing the accessibility to specialised, personalised care and reducing the need to travel to Penang, Selangor or other states for surgeries and accurate diagnosis.”
Supporting the growing demand in medical tourism, Sunway Medical Centre Ipoh will be complemented by senior living suites located directly opposite the hospital, creating a holistic, health-led lifestyle ecosystem.
The hospital is now catering to the increasing demand for quality healthcare in the northern region of Malaysia and plans to have over 250 beds with provision for further expansion.
