NEW PRIVATE SPECIALIST HOSPITAL IN KUALA PILAH BY 2028 WITH RM150 MLN INVESTMENT

SEREMBAN, Nov 11 ( Bernama) -- Kuala Pilah is set to welcome a new private specialist hospital, thanks to a collaboration between Oval Gallery Sdn Bhd and Sena Healthcare Services Sdn Bhd.

The hospital, located in Taman Redani Juasseh, is expected to be completed by 2028, with an investment of RM150 million.

Oval Gallery chairman Datuk Seri Tunku Nadzaruddin Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja’afar said the 240-bed hospital will be built on a 0.946-hectare site and received pre-establishment (zoning) approval from the Ministry of Health in 2019.

 The construction and operation of the hospital will be managed by Sena Healthcare Services, with work expected to begin at the end of 2025.

“An investment of RM150 million will be allocated for the construction and initial operating costs of the hospital.

“For the first phase, 120 beds will be available, with the remaining beds to be added later,” he said to reporters at the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signing ceremony for the hospital’s construction and operations, witnessed by the Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun.

 Tunku Nadzaruddin added that the hospital will serve as a new landmark for the district and will provide significant benefits to the local community, including residents of Jempol, by creating job opportunities and contributing to the local economy.

Meanwhile, Aminuddin said that private sector involvement in providing healthcare services would help alleviate the burden and pressure on citizens to access more systematic treatment.

He noted that this effort aligns with the government’s goal to ensure that the public can enjoy a better standard of living, as well as the strategic location of the hospital, which is situated along the main road connecting the districts of Seremban, Kuala Pilah, Jempol, and Tampin, as well as the states of Johor and Pahang.

“This hospital will provide services to residents in these districts, with a population of nearly half a million people.

“Even residents from border areas such as Muar, Segamat, Muadzam, Rompin, and Mersing will have the option to seek treatment here,” he said.

Aminuddin also highlighted that the presence of professionals, including specialist doctors and support staff such as nurses and technicians, would indirectly contribute to the local economy by creating more job opportunities for the community.
