Pantai to build hospital in Iskandar

Pantai Holdings Bhd intends to expand its network of hospitals to Iskandar Malaysia with the purchase of six hectares of land in the mixed development area of Medini, Iskandar.

An agreement was signed between Global Capital & Development Sdn Bhd (GCD), a consortium led by Mubadala Development Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pantai Hospital Johor Sdn Bhd.

"This development is a key step in establishing healthcare as a catalyst sector in Iskandar Malaysia and will set new benchmarks for quality healthcare to reinforce Malaysia's capacity for delivering world-class medical services to both Malaysians and foreign partners," Pantai Holdings Chairman Khairil Anuar Abdullah said in a statement today.

The planned healthcare complex will be built in phases and will eventually comprise a 300 bedded private tertiary hospital, a 150 suite medical office block with centres of excellence to address the healthcare needs of the population.
