YIPP chairman Datuk Mansor Othman said construction of the 200-bed hospital on a one hectare site would begin after its groundbreaking ceremony in Dec-16.
He said the 14-storey hospital would have specialists in the fields of pediatrics, gynecology, surgery and cardiology, and would be equipped with a seven-storey car park, with 600 bays.
It is set to be the first syariah-compliant hospital in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia, and is expected to begin operations in early 2020.
