Columbia Asia, which has been in Malaysia for almost two decades, has changed the Malaysian healthcare landscape with 11 hospitals in operation, the latest being its Petaling Jaya hospital which opened three months ago.
The healthcare provider is now looking at building more hospitals in Klang, Johor Baru and Penang.
SE Asia CEO Kelvin Tan says “Columbia Asia is one of the more efficient hospitals in terms of cost because of our model and philosophy. Our proposition to the community is to provide efficient and effective healthcare. These are the two things that matter. Effectiveness is about the patient’s outcome because at the end of the day, you go the hospital because you want to get well and go home.”
