Sunway Healthcare breaks ground on RM800mil hospital in Johor

KUALA LUMPUR: Sunway Healthcare Group (SHG) has broken ground on its first hospital in southern Malaysia, an RM800mil facility targeted for completion in 2030.

Sunway Medical Centre Iskandar Puteri will have more than 400 beds and is expected to employ over 1,400 healthcare professionals. The multi-specialty tertiary hospital will be located within Sunway Group’s 2,000-acre Sunway City Iskandar Puteri township.

It will also house an integrated Cancer and Nuclear Medicine Centre offering radiotherapy and nuclear medicine services.

SHG said the hospital’s proximity to the Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone and the upcoming Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System Link would position it to serve Johor’s growing population and support medical tourism.

Sunway Group founder and chairman Tan Sri Jeffrey Cheah said quality healthcare was essential to sustaining Johor’s growth.

“We look forward to building a trusted medical institution that serves Johor and the wider region for generations to come,” he said.
