JOHOR BARU: KPJ Healthcare Bhd
is allocating about RM500mil as capital expenditure over the next two years to expand its operations.
KPJ president and managing director Datuk Amiruddin Abdul Satar said the capex would be used to build three new hospitals and upgrading of existing hospitals in the country.
The hospitals are in Bandar Datuk Onn in Johor Baru and Kuching and they are expected to be completed by end-2017 and in Perlis, which should be ready by earl 2017.
"Malaysia is our main focus as the country still offers good growth prospects in the private healthcare services as the country is progressing and the economy is growing well," he said after the AGM on Thursday.
He said except for Kuala Lumpur and Johor Baru which have good private healthcare facilities and specialist hospitals, other state capitals still lacked private hospitals.
Amiruddin said KPJ would focus on expanding its operations by building hospitals in other states in the country to meet with the growing demand for private healthcare.
