SEREMBAN: Mawar Medical Centre (MMC) has invested RM10.6mil in infrastructure upgrades and advanced medical equipment for financial year 2026 (FY26), says Pusat Hemodialisis Mawar (PHM) chairman Datuk Seri Lee Tian Hock.
The investment is part of the hospital’s ongoing expansion, which also saw its licensed bed capacity grow from 97 to 109, while average operational beds increased from 84 to 97.
“When the hospital began operations in 2019, we had only 28 licensed beds. Today, MMC has evolved into a comprehensive multidisciplinary specialist hospital, boasting 109 licensed beds, three operating theatres, and one hybrid operating theatre,” he said at PHM’s 29th AGM. PHM owns MMC.
MMC, he said, has always been clear about its direction in an increasingly complex operating environment and especially when investments are needed, and the necessary improvements that need to be executed. These efforts are gradually being reflected in the hospital’s business performance.
Lee said in FY26, the hospital’s revenue increased from RM80.7mil in FY25 to RM89.1mil, representing a growth of 10.47%. “The average monthly revenue also rose from RM6.7mil to RM7.4mil.
“This indicates that our patient numbers are growing and the range of healthcare services provided by the hospital is becoming more comprehensive,” he said.
Gross profit for FY26 stood at RM35.1mil, compared to RM35.2mil in FY25.
He said the hospital’s financial position has also continued to improve with outstanding interest-bearing debt owed to Matrix Medicare Sdn Bhd decreasing from RM12.7mil to RM8.9mil.
Lee said throughout FY26, the hospital introduced several advanced medical technologies, including Electroencephalography or EEG systems, Nerve Conduction Study or NCS systems, PICO laser systems, and carbon dioxide or CO2 laser technology.
A dedicated health screening centre involving an investment of RM2mil was also established. “These technologies have further strengthened our capabilities in neurological evaluation, neuromuscular diagnosis, dermatological treatments, and medical aesthetic services.
“For me, what matters most is that as these services continue to expand, patients in Negri Sembilan will no longer need to travel elsewhere for every advanced treatment,” he said.
Lee said MMC has always held another profoundly important and meaningful mission which was to provide more affordable quality healthcare. Over the past three financial years, PHM raised some RM2.51mil for welfare allocation.
“In FY26 alone, RM600,000 was utilised for welfare purposes, leaving RM1.92mil still available,” he said.
“Moving forward, these funds will continue to be deployed in a structured and responsible manner to assist patients in need, as well as to support community healthcare and welfare initiatives, ensuring these resources reach those who need them most.”
Lee said the 30-year land lease for the site currently housing MMC is set to expire on Dec 31, 2026 and the hospital has written to the Lands and Mines director-general to extend it for another 30 years.
“Moving forward, alongside strengthening our community care efforts, we will continue to promote education on preventive healthcare and raise public health awareness,” he added.
