7-star spital !

but i didn't see any heli landing pad.
they should use air ambulance to pick up rich2 patient in case of emergency.
else they will get stuck in a traffic jam and i c u in heaven.

i thought even some US general hospital use air ambulance...am i right?.

MOST hospitals in the US have helipads. Important as pts need to be airlifted to tertiary centers. If they really want such a 'highly specialized' place, one would hope they have emergency transfer facilities like a helipad.

Prince Court offers medical care in a five-star setting
Published: 2008/06/12

http://www.btimes.com.my/Current_News/BTIMES/Industries/BizFocus/iprince.xml/Article/Current_News/BTIMES/Images/btgraph8/rowley.jpg

Vasantha Ganesan finds out what is it that makes Prince Court Medical Centre stand out and its expansion plans.

IF IMITATION is the best form of flattery, the chief of Kuala Lumpur's Prince Court Medical Centre, is probably blushing.

The hospital is only eight months old, not fully operational or officially launched, but requests are already coming in to replicate its model abroad.

Prince Court, which boasts services that one would find in a five-star hotel, has also started treating quite a number of medical tourists from as far as Australia, New Zealand and the UK.

Located on Jalan Kia Peng, the hospital did a soft-opening in October 2007 and it will only be fully operational next month.

Prince Court is owned by state-owned oil company Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) and managed by Vamed Healthcare Services Sdn Bhd and its partner the Medical University of Vienna International Hospital Operations GmbH.

"We have had a hospital in the Middle East which wants to replicate this model. We have had Thais, Cambodians and Mogolians come to see our facility," chief executive officer Stuart D. Rowley said.

Rowley said that the hospital which had planned to establish itself in Malaysia, then regionally before being recognised globally, was pleasantly surprised to see its current level of foreign patients touch 30 per cent.

A total of 710 inpatients and 8,000 outpatients have thus far, sought treatment at the hospital.

Based on the response so far, Rowley may achieve his goal to make the hospital "the best in Asia" within the next five years sooner than anticipated.

Prince Court is named so, given its location where historically, a number of royalty lived including the current monarch.

Built at a substantial cost, including land and equipment, the hospital expects to be operationally profitable by the end of the second year and achieve net profit in eight years.

"By the end of year two, our cash flow will be positive," Rowley said.

"By July 1 2008, we will be fully operational and all our services will be offered from then," he said, adding that it has 53 clinics and 60 doctors/specialists.

"We provide every possible clinical specialty with the exception of in-patient psychiatry," he said.

The hospital opened its doors last October operating 12 beds. Today, it has 48 beds and all 300 beds will be available in October or November this year.

It will also have 800 nurses by then, up from 200 today.

The medical centre, which has six floors, and another three floors of parking space, measure some one million sq ft.

Its pull factors include it being the only private hospital offering a surgical robot for treatment in men's health, and later for gynaecology and cardiac surgery.

Its 10 operating theatres are said to be among the cleanest in the world with Laminar Flow ventilation which produces almost particle-free air at the operating table, thereby reducing significantly the risk of infection.

The hospital's emphasis on infection control is so stringent that it has 3,730 hand basins and 3,900 hands-free hygiene automatic dispensers and a full-time professor of microbiology heading the infection control programme.

Rowley said that the hospital will soon have the country's first bladeless excimer/ laser for Lasik (eye) surgery.

any news on the hotel project behind dis hospital???

No need to go overseas for superior treatment
Published: 2008/06/12

PRINCE Court Medical Centre was built with the aim of helping Malaysians receive superior medical treatment without having to travel abroad.

Another goal was to establish itself as the premier centre for medical tourism in Asia. To this end, there are already plans to expand the hospital and its services.

There is land for expansion at the current site of the hospital, which its chief executive officer Stuart Rowley hopes to develop in 2010.

"Initially, to enable us to cater for medical emergencies, we want to have a helipad to fly in our patients. This would also be a requirement if we were asked to provide emergency and a burns service for the F1 Grand Prix," Rowley said.

"In the second phase we would be planning for a medi-hotel, medical rooms, supporting services and a rehabilitation centre," he added.

The medi-hotel will cater to both the families of the medical tourist as well as patients who require less intensive care but need nursing supervision.

"The concept is on the drawing board," Rowley said.

The hospital has also set up five centres of excellence that cover oncology, plastic surgery, cosmetology & burns, urology, nephrology and men's health, women & children's health and heart and lung.

It plans to develop each dedicated segment with state-of-the-art technology.

"Malaysia has the potential to become the leading healthcare tourism provider in Asia. We want to replace Thailand, India and Singapore as the place of choice," he said.

PCMC Breaks New Ground With Robotic Surgery
September 04, 2008 21:57 PM

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 (Bernama (http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/newsgeneral.php?id=357219)) -- The Prince Court Medical Centre, Malaysia's newest private healthcare facility, is breaking new ground with robotic surgery through a robotic surgical system, its Medical Director, Prof Dr Cyril D. Toma, said Thursday.

The robotic surgical system consists of a computer-mediated workstation with a high quality video-display and hand-input devices, a wire network to communicate the surgeon's movements and a cart bearing the system's robotic arms.

"The robotic system has great advantages. The robotic arms position and hold the video camera with greater accuracy and steadiness than any human being could," he told reporters at a media launch and live robotic surgery at the centre here.

With the robotic system, he said, the surgeon was seated comfortably instead of standing beside patients, reducing stress and fatigue, a critical factor during long procedures.

Prof Toma said the medical centre offered world-class breast cancer service and the latest bladeless lasik eye centre which would commence on Oct 1.

It also offered a comprehensive range of medical services housed under five centres of excellence (CoE) -- Heart and Lung; Urology, Nephrology and Men's Health; Women and Children; Plastic Surgery, Cosmetology, Dermatology and Burns, and Oncology.

The centre's chief executive officer, Stuart D. Rowley, said the centre aimed to raise the standard of quality healthcare available in the country and to set the benchmark for international medical best practices for Malaysia and Asia.

"All our initiatives are implemented with the global aim of becoming the best private hospital in Asia within the next five years," he said, adding that it targeted a rati o of 70 per cent Malaysians to 30 per cent medical tourists.

The centre, a 300-bedded private medical facility located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, was opened in 2007 and is supported by an international management team and the medical expertise of senior clinical specialists from the Medical University of Vienna (MUV-Austria).

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is now home to yet another private medical centre.

The Prince Court Medical Centre (PCMC), situated on Jalan Kia Peng off Jalan Tun Razak here officially opened its doors on Thursday.

At a news conference, its chief executive officer Stuart Rowley said the centre aimed to provide the best possible healthcare to its patients.

"We want to raise the standard of healthcare available in the country and to set the benchmark for medical best practices for Malaysia and Asia," he said.

In terms of patient profile and market, Rowley said the centre targeted a ratio of 70% Malaysians and 30% medical tourists.

Although the PCMC may look like a five-star hotel from the outside, the focus is nonetheless providing top-class healthcare to its patients.

Rowley dismissed claims that PCMC's rates are higher than other hospitals and private practices.

"We cater to people who are looking for world-class medical facilities and services at market prices. Compared to other private hospitals in the country, our room rates are highly competitive and medical fees are priced the same," Rowley added.

PCMC boasts five centres of excellence - heart and lung; urology, nephrology and men's health; women and children; plastic surgery, cosmetology, dermatology and burns; and oncology.

Since its low-key operations in October last year, PCMC has to date had some 1,000 local patients and 235 medical tourists from 38 countries.

Petronas unit spends RM600m on futuristic hospital
by Venus Hew, 08 Sep 2008 11:10 AM
THEEDGEDAILY

KUALA LUMPUR: Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) subsidiary Prince Court Medical Centre Sdn Bhd (PCMC) has invested over RM600 million in its futuristic 300-bed hospital, which turned fully operational yesterday, said Prince Court director and chief executive officer Stuart D Rowley.

Speaking to The Edge Financial Daily at the media launch of the hospital in Jalan Kia Peng here yesterday, he said a significant amount of the investment was spent to purchase state-of-the-art medical equipment.

The hospital has been in operation since its soft launch last October. “One of our most expensive equipment was the one for robotic surgery that cost over RM6 million,” Rowley said, adding that the total cost of equipment is about RM200 million.

“All our initiatives are implemented with the goal of becoming the best private hospital in Asia within the next five years,” he said.

The hospital is targeting the higher-end market with most of the patients comprising top-ranking officials in their respective organisations.

“We have patients from the major corporations and embassies. Furthermore, we have just signed an agreement with our insurance company, ING Insurance Malaysia,” he said.

The hospital is managed by Vamed Healthcare Services Sdn Bhd, and it has entered into agreement with the Medical University of Vienna (MUV) for the provision of medical expertise and lending senior expertise directly from its headquarters in Vienna.

Rowley said PCMC was expected to operate at a loss for the first two years. “We expect to be cash flow positive after two years. We have a high number of staff coupled with relatively low number of patients, which are slowly increasing. So, we are expected to be operating at a net profit position only after seven and a half to eight years.”

He said it was looking at setting up a rehabilitation centre in three to five years, specialising in providing services for stroke and trauma patients.

According to Rowley, PCMC targets a ratio of 70% Malaysian and 30% medical tourists or foreign patients. The room rates are RM350 and RM1,000 per night for the single room and suites, respectively.

PCMC cost RM34m higher than original plan

KUALA LUMPUR: The RM391 million building cost of the Prince Court Medical Centre (PCMC) was RM34 million higher than the original contract awarded to Peremba Construction Sdn Bhd, said Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi yesterday.

The prime minister said the original contract valued at RM357million was given to Peremba through an open tender in September 2002.

“Under the contract, Peremba was required to complete the building of PCMC in 30 months or not later than April 2005,” he said in a written reply to Hee Loy Sian (Petaling Jaya Selatan-PKR) in Dewan Rakyat.

Abdullah said the company, however, was unable to complete the project within the agreed period and had asked to be given additional time.

“PCMC had agreed to give the additional six months until October 2005,” he said.

Nevertheless, he said the contract with Peremba was terminated in October 2006 when it was still unable to complete the works despite the extension.

Abdullah said in December 2006, PCMC appointed Sunway Construction Sdn Bhd to replace Peremba to complete the unfinished works.

“Sunway was chosen because it has a good work performance record. It was also a contractor in building KLCC Convention Centre which it had completed within the agreed period,” he said.

Following that, Abdullah said Sunway had completed the remaining construction of PCMC in June last year.

Hospital Woos Malaysian Professionals To Come Home

KUALA LUMPUR, March 5 (Bernama) -- Prince Court Medical Centre will continue to woo Malaysian healthcare professionals to come home by offering them the same world-class working atmosphere.

Its chief executive officer, Stuart D. Rowley, said the professionals would be happy to come back because they are used to working in world-class services.

"We can offer them here when they come back.

There are opportunities for them to establish their practices back in Malaysia," he told reporters after signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Meuraxa Hospital of Banda Aceh here, Thursday.

The hospital is Malaysia's internationally-accredited private healthcare facility with 300 single-bedded rooms and suites and offers an exclusive touch of a world-class hotel to their patients.

Rowley said another four doctors and 12 nurses would join the hospital.

"Malaysia has been losing a lot of its talent for a number of years. We call it brain drain. We believe what we can offer here will be the brain gain," he said.

He said even the Malaysian nurses working in the Middle East had more experience.

"They work with different cultures so they bring back the richness," he said.

Rowley also said a number of senior clinical specialists working in Australia and UK had indicated they wanted to bring their families back because they wanted their children to experience their culture.

On the MOU, Rowley said, it was the hospital's first step towards establishing a strong corporate responsibility programme in the region since commencing operations in July 2008.

"Among others, the MOU details the development of a structured Continuous Professional Development Programme (CPD), Standard Operating Procedures and quality and safety indices for patients.

"It also extends to providing education and training expertise as well as advice on development and accreditation to the Indonesian district healthcare facility," he said.

He said the 24-month development initiative would involve attachment programmes at the hospital.

The CPD Programme is expected to commence this month, said Rowley.

Also present at the ceremony were the mayor of Banda Aceh, Mawardi Nurdin and deputy director of health (medical), Department of Health, Federal Territory Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, Dr Supathiratheavy Rasiah.

The Austrian and Hungarian governments rebuilt Meuraxa Hospital after the devastating earthquake and tsunami destroyed the old facility in 2004.

The RM544 million hospital, owned by Petroliam Nasional Bhd, serves not only the rich but also the low income and the less fortunate.

It offers medical services for the less fortunate through its corporate social programme whereby free operations are given to children with cleft lips and palate, bone and muscle cancer as well as hole in the heart.

Prince Court Hospital Also Serves Less Fortunate

KUALA LUMPUR, March 5 (Bernama) -- The services of the RM544 million Prince Court Medical Centre, owned by Petronas, are not only for the rich but also for those with low income and the less fortunate.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Senator Datuk Amirsham A. Aziz said the hospital offered medical services for the less fortunate through its corporate social programme.

"Free operations are given to children with cleft lips and palate, bone and muscle cancer as well as hole in the heart," he said during the question and answer session at the Dewan Rakyat Thursday.

The medical treatment for bone and muscle cancer also include chemotherapy and physiotherapy, he said when answering the question of Hee Loy Sian (PKR-Petaling Jaya South) who wanted to know the cost of building the medical centre and whether it offered services to the less fortunate.

Amirsham said the hospital also provided free eye test in schools and worked together with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia to provide specialist training in its efforts to bring forth experts in the field of bone and muscles.

Located in Kuala Lumpur's city centre, the medical centre was established to provide international level medical services besides meeting the government's call to make Malaysia a centre of medical tourism.

Among its medical services include specialist treatment in the areas of cancer, plastic surgery, gynaecology and paediatrics.

Prince Court sasar tarik 30% pelanggan antarabangsa
http://www.princecourt.com/

The medical centre is affiliated with the Medical University of Vienna (http://www.meduniwien.ac.at/homepage/doormat-navigation-english/en/)

KUALA LUMPUR 6 Mac - Hospital swasta milik Petronas, Pusat Perubatan Prince Court (PCMC) yang baru dibuka tahun lalu menyasarkan pertumbuhan perniagaannya kekal stabil pada tahun ini dengan lebih 30 peratus pesakit antarabangsa.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutifnya, Stuart D. Rowley berkata, orang ramai dijangka tetap memilih PCMC untuk mendapatkan rawatan walaupun hospital itu merupakan pusat perubatan yang berstatus mewah.

"Kami yakin menerima pesakit antarabangsa dan tempatan walaupun berlaku krisis ekonomi global dan bilangannya tidak akan berkurangan kerana kami menawarkan infrastruktur yang lengkap dan moden,'' katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian selepas menandatangani memorandum persefahaman (MoU) di antara PCMC dengan Hospital Meuraxa (Meuraxa), Banda Aceh, Indonesia mengenai Program Pembangunan Profesional Lanjutan (CPD) di sini baru-baru ini.

Turut hadir ialah Datuk Bandar Banda Aceh, Mawardi Nurdin dan Timbalan Pengarah Kesihatan (Perubatan), Jabatan Kesihatan, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur dan Putrajaya, Dr. R. Supathiratheavy.

Program CPD akan dijalankan selama dua tahun di antara kedua-dua buah pusat perubatan berkenaan bermula bulan ini.

Ia melibatkan beberapa bahagian penting seperti pembaikan kualiti perubatan, bilik pembedahan, pengurusan penjagaan kritikal, pengurusan kemudahan dan pengemasan, pengurusan makanan serta perkhidmatan kecemasan.

Ketika ditanya mengenai doktor terlatih yang berkhidmat di PCMC, Rowley menambah, pihaknya mengambil doktor-doktor profesional tempatan yang pulang dari luar negara.

Selain doktor, kebanyakan jururawat PCMC merupakan kakitangan perubatan yang berpengalaman dan pernah berkhidmat di Asia Barat.

Katanya, ia merupakan langkah tepat kerana tidak membazirkan guna tenaga selain memberi nilai tambah kepada PCMC sendiri.

Sementara itu, Mawardi berkata, pihaknya berharap program CPD itu dapat meningkatkan kualiti perkhidmatan Meuraxa yang merupakan hospital umum yang masih memberikan perkhidmatan kepada penduduk Banda Aceh yang pernah dilanda ombak besar tsunami pada 26 Disember 2004.

Prince Court expects healthy revenue
By Roziana Hamsawi Published: 2009/03/12

PRINCE Court Medical Centre (PCMC) is confident of maintaining a 30 per cent revenue contribution from its medical tourism business despite the current economic situation.

PCMC chief executive officer Stuart Rowley said when it first started its operations less than two years ago, it was not long before the 30 per cent target was achieved.

He said PCMC prefers to keep the figure conservative because of the industry's sensitivity, where a health scare in nearby countries can easily affect Malaysia too.

Rowly said medical tourism, or as he prefers to call it medical travel, is a growing business especially for Kuala Lumpur.

"Those who came here are a mix of Europeans and Asians," he said, adding that they were attracted by the quality healthcare Malaysia provides and what the country can offer them as a holiday destination.

Rowley spoke to reporters after signing an agreement with Bupa International, the world's largest provider of international expatriate health insurance.

Bupa International development and contracting manager Marie C. Blakey said the group operates in over 190 countries, and has a membership of more than 800,000 in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.

"The growth in these countries has been between 15 and 20 per cent year-on-year," she said.

Blakey said Bupa International hopes to capture a larger expatriate market by tying up with PCMC.

"Expatriates from Thailand who want to travel and seek treatment in PCMC can take advantage of what we can offer," she added.

Rowley added that PCMC patients who are Bupa International members will have a ease of mind when it comes to billing.

"Unlike other insurance companies, where patients have to pay first and claim from their insurance providers later, a Bupa International membership is as good as having a guarantee letter," he said.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 11 (Bernama) -- Prince Court Medical Centre (PCMC) sees its partnership with Bupa International as a driver to becoming a leading healthcare provider in Asia and promote medical tourism, said its chief executive officer, Stuart Rowley.

Expatriate patients in particular Bupa's members can now seek medical treatment at PCMC as it allows members worldwide easy access through its direct payment facility for in-patients, Rowley told reporters after signing an agreement with Bupa International, here.

PCMC today sealed an agreement with Bupa International, the world's largest international expatriate health insurer, which supplies quality individual and group medical cover to nearly 700,000 members in 190 countries worldwide.

It offers a range of company medical insurance and healthcare plans.

Rowley said Malaysia's growing reputation as a healthcare hub has also attracted a large number of visitors through medical tourism.

"We are targeting the Asian region, Middle East and there are a lot of existing demand coming from Australia and New Zealand for medical tourism," he said.

Prince Court targets sales of RM120m next year
By Sharen KaurPublished: 2009/03/18

http://www.btimes.com.my/articles/Prince1/pix_topright

PRIVATE healthcare provider Prince Court Medical Centre (PCMC) is targeting sales of RM120 million next year as more people sign up for its medical facilities, its chief said.

Chief executive officer Stuart D Rowley said 70 per cent of earnings will come from locals and expatriates, and the rest from its medical tourism business.

For its current fiscal year ending March 31 2009, PCMC is projecting a turnover of RM23 million.

"We've had steady growth since the opening in July 2008. We expect PCMC to have full occupancy within 18 months of operation and to be cash flow positive by the third year," he told Business Times in a recent interview in Kuala Lumpur.

The RM544 million hospital, located on a 3.2ha site in Kuala Lumpur, boasts services similar to a five-star hotel.

Owned by state-owned oil firm Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), it has 300 beds, 10 operating theatres and 63 medical consulting suites.

It has five centres of excellence that cover oncology, plastic surgery, cosmetology and burns, urology, nephrology and men's health, women and children's health, and heart and lung.

Rowley said 88 beds and four operating theatres are in use, treating locals, expatriates and medical tourists from Australia, New Zealand, the UK and US.

PCMC aims to form strate-gic alliances with insurance providers to help the community at large.

It has inked a deal with Bupa International, the world's largest provider of international expatriate health insurance, for its medical tourism business.

"Our mission is to be leading healthcare provider in Asia. We have a strategic plan focusing on seven key areas, to achieve this over five years," he said.

PCMC is managed by Vamed Healthcare Services Sdn Bhd and its partner the Medical University of Vienna International Hospital Operations GmbH.

It was set up to help locals receive superior medical treatment without having to travel abroad.

PCMC is not only for the rich, but also for those with low income and the less fortunate.

Another goal was to establish itself as the premier centre for medical tourism in Asia.

"There is a misconception that PCMC is very expensive. Our prices are highly competitive as all the other private hospitals," Rowley said, adding rooms and suites are at RM250 and RM1,000 a night respectively, inclusive of three meals a day.

Prince Court To Ride On Medical Tourism For Growth
March 29, 2009 11:07 AM
By Nor Baizura Basri

KUALA LUMPUR, March 29 (Bernama) -- Prince Court Medical Centre, which received an international accreditation recently, expects to ride on medical tourism for growth following continuous interests from overseas patients in quality healthcare services in Malaysia.

The Joint Commission International (JCI) is an authority on healthcare responsible for accrediting organisations which illustrate and practise high standards of medical care.

Its chief executive officer, Stuart D. Rowley, said the accreditation would would serve as a competitive edge against other private hospitals in Malaysia to further penetrate the health industry market beside having cutting-edge technology for treatment.

"In order for medical tourism to be successful, insurance companies and large corporate organisations are looking for international accreditation.

"That's why it is imperative that we obtain the accreditation as quickly as possible.

"Besides, we also have many departments that have leading edge technologies and these will really help put Malaysia on the map," he told Bernama recently.

Rowley said despite the current economic situation, the medical tourism market was expected to grow further as the majority of medical tourists would come to seek curative treatment rather then procedures for aesthetic purposes.

"Fortunately or unfortunately, people always get sick no matter how healthy or unhealthy the economic climates, so there is always be demand for hospitalisation and as most people have insurance policies they are able to file a claim for treatment," he said.

Cheaper flights, hotel rates and medical services in Malaysia were also factors to attract international patients seeking better quality but less pricey medical services, he said.

"With a 16 percent increase in the number of medical tourists early last year, this international accreditation will play an important role in further amplifying that percentage this year," he said.

Currently, international patients contribute 30 percent to its business and locals 70 percent.

Beside its five centres of excellence -- heart & lung; oncology; plastic surgery, cosmetology, dermatology & burns; urology, nephrology & men's health and women and children, the hospital also provides other comprehensive range of healthcare services.

Prince Court has also invested in the Total Hospital Information System software that helps managing patient information from admission to discharge making it a seamlessly operation.

Through its collaboration with the Medical University of Vienna, the hospital also aims to be at the forefront of establishing innovative telemedicine, telepathology, teleradiology and telecytogenetics services in Malaysia.

Rowley said with an additional 2.4 hectares opposite the hospital, it could be expanded to cater to rising demand in the future.

The hospital, wholly-owned by Petroliam Nasional Bhd, currently has 300 beds, of which 77 beds have been opened, 10 operating theatres and 63 medical consulting suites.

Memegang status sebagai hospital mewah, kewujudan PCMC sememangnya mencatat satu penanda aras baru dalam industri perubatan di negara ini.

TATKALA usia kandungannya berusia tujuh minggu, pelakon terkenal tanah air, Rita Rudaini mengambil keputusan untuk mendapatkan rawatan sepanjang tempoh kehamilan dan bersalin di Pusat Perubatan Prince Court (PCMC).

Keputusan itu dibuat berikutan cadangan rakan artisnya, Nadia Mustapha. Nadia yang juga merupakan seorang pelakon mengenali beberapa doktor yang bertugas di sana.

http://www.kosmo.com.my/kosmo/pix/2009/0720/Kosmo/Rencana_Utama/ru_01.2.jpg

KEMUDAHAN bilik yang disediakan untuk pesakit membuatkan
mereka tidak terasa seperti berada di hospital.

Memilih Datuk Dr. Abdul Aziz Yahya sebagai doktor yang merawatnya, 8 Julai lalu, Rita selamat melahirkan bayi lelaki seberat 2.91 kilogram secara normal kira-kira pukul 1.20 pagi.

Bayi yang diberi nama Airit Rayyan Rizqin itu sememangnya satu anugerah yang tidak ternilai bagi Rita dan Aidil. Mereka bernikah pada 25 Februari tahun lalu.

"Keputusan memilih untuk dirawat di PCMC memang tepat. Apatah lagi, kali pertama saya pergi, sudah timbul rasa seronok melihat keramahan setiap kakitangan di sana. Daripada doktor dan jururawat hinggalah petugas klinik, nursery dan farmasi, semuanya memberikan khidmat yang terbaik.

RUANG santai di lobi PCMC berkonsepkan
moden kontemporari dan disertai dengan kafe.

"Sebagai contoh, jika mahu memanggil jururawat bertugas, tidak sampai 10 saat selepas loceng ditekan, mereka sudah sampai ke bilik kita. Di samping itu, penghantaran makanan juga sentiasa tepat pada masanya dan tidak pernah terlewat walau seminit.

"Apa yang pasti, dengan kemudahan dan khidmat kelas pertama seperti ini, setiap pesakit tidak merasakan mereka berada di hospital. Sebaliknya, seperti berada bersama keluarga sendiri," jelas Rita mengenai pengalamannya di PCMC.

Baru menyambut ulang tahun pertamanya pada 10 Julai lalu, PCMC kini semakin mendapat perhatian daripada masyarakat.

Pada usia setahun jagung, PCMC bukan semata-mata menjadi pusat kesihatan pilihan ramai, bahkan turut mendapat pengiktirafan daripada pihak berkuasa dalam penjagaan kesihatan antarabangsa terkemuka, Joint Commission International (JCI) menerusi anugerah akreditasi perubatannya.

Dimiliki sepenuhnya oleh syarikat minyak dan gas negara, Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas), PCMC dibantu oleh pasukan pengurusan antarabangsa dan kepakaran perubatan dari pakar klinikal senior.

Ia dilakukan melalui pengurusan konsortium yang terdiri daripada Perkhidmatan Penjagaan Kesihatan VAMED dan Medical University of Vienna (MUV).

Sebagai sebuah pusat perubatan moden, kewujudan PCMC sememangnya mencatat penanda aras baru dalam industri perubatan di negara ini, apabila menyediakan fasiliti bertaraf dunia untuk kemudahan semua.

Menurut Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif PCMC, Stuart D. Rowley, perkhidmatan penjagaan diasaskan daripada lima pusat kecemerlangan yang ditubuhkan untuk memberi rawatan khusus dalam bidang-bidang tertentu. Menerusi lima pusat ini juga, maka terhasil pula perkhidmatan rawatan dan perubatan lain yang menjadi pelengkap dalam proses pemulihan seseorang pesakit.

"Lima pusat tersebut ialah Onkologi iaitu kajian atau rawatan dalam merawat tumor; Jantung & Paru-Paru (khas untuk rawatan terhadap organ tersebut); Wanita & Kanak-Kanak (terbahagi kepada tiga komponen iaitu Obstetrik, Ginekologi & Pediatrik); Pembedahan Plastik, Kosmetologi, Dermatologi & Kecederaan Kebakaran serta Pusat Urologi, Nefrologi & Kesihatan Lelaki.

"Setiap pusat kecemerlangan ini menyediakan rawatan terperinci dengan menggunakan alatan dan mesin berteknologi tinggi. Contohnya, Sistem Pembedahan Robotik 4 Tangan da-Vinci, Sistem LASIK (Femtosecond Visumax & MEL 80 Excimer) iaitu pembedahan mata tanpa pisau; Sistem Kamera Berkembar Head Gamma & PET-CT dan sebagainya.

"Menerusi teknologi serba canggih ini, pesakit pasti akan dirawat sebaik mungkin dengan bantuan daripada doktor-doktor pakar bertauliah dan berpengalaman luas dalam bidang masing-masing," jelas Rowley kepada Kosmo! dalam satu temu bual di PCMC baru-baru ini.

http://www.kosmo.com.my/kosmo/pix/2009/0720/Kosmo/Rencana_Utama/ru_01.4.jpg

Rawatan eksklusif

Rawatan eksklusif lain yang ditawarkan termasuklah prostatektomi robotik iaitu pembedahan menggunakan robot untuk membuang kelenjar-kelenjar prostat. Pembedahan paling minimum untuk membuang sel kanser payu dara atau menutup lubang kecil di jantung dengan penggunaan kamera kecil berteknologi tinggi turut disediakan.

http://www.kosmo.com.my/kosmo/pix/2009/0720/Kosmo/Rencana_Utama/ru_01.5.jpg

KAKITANGAN di bahagian Klinik Pakar Perunding Wanita dan Kanak-Kanak
sentiasa bersedia memberi khidmat terbaik kepada pelanggan.

Semua kemudahan canggih yang ada itu membuktikan keunggulan PCMC yang mempunyai visi untuk menjadi pendahulu dalam menyediakan penjagaan kesihatan terbaik di seluruh Malaysia dan rantau Asia.

Dengan jumlah kakitangan seramai 800 orang, Rowley sentiasa optimis tentang masa depan PCMC dalam mencapai visi tersebut.

Lebih menarik, pengurusan PCMC sentiasa mengutamakan persekitaran kerja yang baik dalam suasana harmoni. Sebab itulah, setiap kakitangan dianggap sebagai satu keluarga yang besar.

Aspek ini menjadi nilai tambah kepada PCMC dalam menggamit kehadiran lebih ramai pelanggan yang memilih untuk menerima rawatan di sana.

Resipi kejayaan

Salah seorang kakitangan yang bertugas di bahagian pembantu perkhidmatan pelanggan, Yuvavani Subramanium, 32, mengakui dia bertuah kerana bekerja di PCMC yang sentiasa mementingkan kerjasama dan hubungan erat antara pekerja.

http://www.kosmo.com.my/kosmo/pix/2009/0720/Kosmo/Rencana_Utama/ru_01.6.jpg

SETIAP pesakit diberi perhatian sewajarnya bagi
membolehkan proses pemulihan berjalan lancar.

"Sepanjang bekerja di sini, saya tidak pernah rasa diketepikan. Malah, setiap pekerja bertanggungjawab dalam memastikan imej PCMC dijaga.

"Saya memang seronok dan sentiasa bersemangat untuk menjalankan tugas dan memberi khidmat terbaik kepada pelanggan," ujar Yuvavani. Dia bersama enam orang lagi kakitangan telah dipilih sebagai Pekerja Terbaik sempena meraikan ulang tahun pertama PCMC baru-baru ini.

http://www.kosmo.com.my/kosmo/pix/2009/0720/Kosmo/Rencana_Utama/ru_01.7.jpg

HIASAN yang diterapkan memberi ketenangan
kepada pengunjung yang datang ke sini.

Bagi Jururawat Klinikal di Wad Pembedahan, Rosezalina Mohd. Razali, 40, PCMC sudah dianggap sebagai rumah keduanya yang begitu istimewa.

"Tidak dapat dinafikan bahawa persekitaran kerja yang positif di PCMC menjadi faktor setiap pekerja sentiasa komited menjalankan tugas mereka. Di sini, kami tidak pernah membezakan pangkat seseorang. Sebaliknya, sentiasa mesra antara satu sama lain.

"Mungkin itulah resipi kejayaan hospital ini dari kaca mata pesakit dan keluarga mereka yang berkunjung ke mari," kata Rosezalina yang merupakan antara jururawat terawal bertugas di PCMC bermula tahun 2007, sebelum dibuka secara rasmi pada 2008.

Three key management staff of Prince Court Medical Centre have been asked to go on leave pending the outcome of an audit review.

Three key management staff, including the chief executive officer (CEO) of internationally accredited private healthcare facility Prince Court Medical Centre (PCMC), has been asked to go on leave pending the outcome of an audit review.

PCMC is owned by Petronas Hartabina Sdn Bhd, a unit of state-owned oil company Petroliam National Bhd (Petronas), and managed by Vamed Healthcare Services Sdn Bhd and its partner, the Medical University of Vienna International Hospital Operations GmbH.

"Interim changes to key personnel of the Prince Court Medical Centre have been effected on June 22 2010. These changes were required pursuant to a routine audit review," PCMC said in a statement issued in response to Business Times' queries on recent developments involving the hospital's management.

"It is the opinion of the hospital that, in the interest of objectivity, the chief executive officer, the chief medical officer and the legal adviser be requested to proceed on leave to enable the process to be concluded satisfactorily. The persons concerned have fully cooperated with these requirements."

The changes have not in any way affected the day-to-day operations of the hospital or the level of patient care. Interim personnel had immediately taken over the relevant functions, it added.

"It has always been our aim to provide and promote superior care and expertise, and this will continue. The hospital continues to receive the full and uncompromising support of its operator and we look forward to staying on track in the delivery of our services and commitments," PCMC said.

Business Times has not been able to reach PCMC CEO Stuart Rowley, who is also listed as a director of Petronas Hartabina since 2005.

It is believed that Vamed Healthcare Services managing director Stuart Pack has stepped in to take over some responsibilities and will stay on until the audit is completed.

Sources said that hospital staff were briefed on developments last Thursday and will again be addressed tomorrow to explain the situation and ensure continued smooth operations at the hospital.

It is also understood that the hospital has been experiencing a high turnover of staff in recent months.

PCMC had been a subject of much discussion since its opening in late 2007 over the lavish amount spent to build and equip it.

While the official price tag for the 300-bed hospital is reported as RM544 million, many say that the price has crossed the RM1 billion mark, including for the leasehold land (for current and future development) and equipment.

In an interview with Business Times in May 2008, the CEO said that he expected the hospital to be operationally profitable by the end of the second year and to achieve net profit in eight years.

Last year, it was reported that the hospital, which focuses particularly on health tourism, was looking to achieve RM120 million sales in the financial ear ended March 31 2010.

A check with the Companies Commission of Malaysia revealed that in the financial year ended March 31 2009, the hospital posted a loss before tax of RM203.25 million on the back of RM24.12 million in revenue.

Results for the financial year ended March 31 2010 were not available.

It is understood that the management has briefed Prince Court Medical Centre's staff about Stuart Rowley's resignation.

The chief executive officer of internationally accredited private healthcare facility Prince Court Medical Centre (PCMC), Stuart Rowley, has tendered his resignation, sources say.

Rowley was one of three key management staff of the hospital that was asked to go on leave on June 22 2010, pending an outcome of an audit review.

It is understood that the audit findings are currently being reviewed.

The other two key personnel told to go on leave are the chief medical officer (CMO) and the legal adviser. It is not known if the CMO and legal adviser have resigned.

In a press statement to Business Times last week, PCMC had said that the three were requested to take leave in the interest of objectivity and to enable the audit to be concluded satisfactorily.

PCMC is owned by Petronas Hartabina Sdn Bhd, a unit of state-owned oil company Petroliam National Bhd (Petronas), and managed by Vamed Healthcare Services Sdn Bhd and its partner, the Medical University of Vienna International Hospital Operations GmbH.

Business Times was unable to confirm if Rowley, who is also listed as a director of Petronas Hartabina since 2005, has resigned from this post.

The hospital has assured that changes have not affected the day-to-day operation or the level of patient care, and interim personnel had taken over relevant functions.

Vamed Healthcare Services managing director Stuart Pack is said to have stepped in to take over some responsibilities and will stay on until the audit is completed.

Pack could not be reached to confirm the developments as he was in a meeting. It is understood that the management has briefed the hospital's staff about Rowley's resignation.

Rowley could not be reached for comment.

PCMC had been a subject of much discussion since its opening in late 2007 over the lavish amount spent to build and equip it.

Prince Court Medical Centre hit by high operational cost
By ANITA GABRIEL
anita@thestar.com.my

PETALING JAYA: Prince Court Medical Centre Sdn Bhd suffered a huge net loss of RM451mil on the back of a RM82mil revenue for the financial year ended April 2010, according to filings with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (CCM).

The luxury healthcare facility, wholly owned by Petroliam Nasional Bhd, had non-current liabilities and current liabilities of RM714.3mil and RM35.1mil respectively. Reserves were in negative territory at RM178.3mil.

It was earlier reported that in financial year 2009, the hospital made a loss of RM203mil on revenue of RM24mil. This would bring its accumulated losses over the two years to RM654mil. Noteworthy is that the hospital, which had its soft launch in October 2007, was reported to have cost RM544mil to construct.

Records of the hospital's financial performance for FY2011 were not available in CCM. The company's auditor is Ernst & Young.

There are nine directors on the Prince Court board, including three who are also on the Petronas board George Ratilal (Petronas executive vice-president, finance), Datuk Mohammed Azhar Osman Khairuddin and Datuk Anuar Ahmad (executive vice-president, gas & power business).

In a recent interview, Prince Court interim chief executive officer Stuart J V Pack, who has been holding that post since July last year, attributed the losses to high operational cost that far outweighted revenue.

He added, however, that cost had gone down year-on-year. “I reduced cost and made sure we don't spend any more than we need to. Once we get it right, then we can bring it up along with additional revenue. Teaching the management team to do this is very important. So, if they want to spend money, first question is where is the return? Managers clearly understand that they don't spend a dollar out, without getting the dollar back,” he said.

Pack said the operating losses of the medical centre were steadily declining due to several cost-cutting measures, including staff reduction, renegotiation of fixed-service contracts and cuts in energy costs.

He, however, declined to reveal the financial headline figures of the medical centre.

Prince Court has realigned its financial year. Stuart said: “So at the end of this year, the financial year will start from January next year.”

In a recent article in StarBizWeek, Stuart had dismissed reports that the facility made a loss of over RM200mil in FY2009 as “a number taken out of context with no explanation.” He, however, declined to provide any explanation.

In mid-2008, during a question-and-answer session in Parliament, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Tan Sri Amirsham A Aziz, said Petronas had spent RM544mil on the construction of the hospital. He added that the facility was established after the oil company had weighed its commercial returns and the access it provided Malaysians to world-class health services.

In addition, he said, it was part of Petronas' corporate social responsibility.

Prince Court expects turnaround in 2 years
By Kamarul Yunus Published: 2011/08/27
http://www.btimes.com.my/Current_News/BTIMES/articles/petkot/Article/

KUALA LUMPUR: Prince Court Medical Centre Sdn Bhd, wholly-owned by Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), expects to turn around in the next two years.

Its chairman Datuk Anuar Ahmad said the company has put in place steps and necessary measures to make it profitable.

"It's a new facility. We did not expect the hospital to immediately make money. But we have seen encouraging results.

"Its revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation has improved by 20 per cent compared to last year," he said at a media briefing on Petronas' first-quarter results here yesterday.

Anuar was asked on the progress and follow-up to an audit, which was carried out to probe the heavy losses incurred by the hospital in the past two years.

"We have an audit last year and what happened from this, we have a new CEO (chief executive officer) and management. So, we don't have any investigating team to further look into the matter," he said.

Prince Court suffered a huge net loss of RM451 million on the back of RM82 million revenue for the year ended April 2010.

The luxury healthcare facility had non-current liabilites and current liabilities of RM714.3 million and RM35.1 million respectively. Reserves were in negative territory of RM178.3 million.

Earlier reports said the hospital made a loss of RM203 million on the back of revenue of RM24 million in 2009. This would bring its accumulated losses over the two years to RM654 million.

It was also reported that the hospital, which had its soft launch in October 2007, costed RM544 million to build.

Petronas president and chief executive officer Datuk Shamsul Azhar Abbas dismissed suggestions that the group plans to sell the hospital,

"No and I don't even thinking about it. It's an excellent facility. Furthermore, in the last six months, it has shown a lot of improvement.

"In the past one year, we did the audit and from this it has highlighted a lot of surprises," he added.

Petronas sacks firm managing Prince Court

Sources say the contract with Vamed Healthcare Services was ended on November 30,

Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) has terminated the services of the company managing its controversial Prince Court Medical Centre (PCMC).

Sources told Business Times that the contract with Vamed Healthcare Services Sdn Bhd was ended on November 30, although the initial contract was believed to be until March 2014.

Vamed, an international healthcare group, was managing PCMC in a partnership with the Medical University of Vienna.

The hospital, owned by Petronas Hartabina Sdn Bhd, has faced much criticisms in recent years with critics pointing to the high cost in building and equipping it.

With the premature cessation of Vamed’s services, the industry now believes that a second audit could be conducted on PCMC.

On June 22 last year, three key members of the management staff – the chief executive officer, chief medical officer and legal adviser – were told to go on leave pending outcome of an audit review.

Stuart Pack, the managing director of Vamed Healthcare Services, stepped in to take over some B5of their responsibilities, holding the position of interim chief executive officer at the hospital. The outcome of the initial audit was never disclosed
to the public.

The Vamed group , a ?713 million (RM3 billion) international healthcare concern, has representations in some 60 countries. Its work ranges from project development to planning, construction and managing hospital facilities and technical management.

Vamed has been in Malaysia for more than 20 years and has been involved in various government hospital projects.

A letter addressed to PCMC employees and obtained by Business Times said: “We wish to inform you that effective December
1, 2011, Vamed Healthcare Services Sdn Bhd and Medical University of Vienna have ceased to be the operators of Prince Court Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur.”

It said the management had appointed Dr Chong Su-Lin as interim CEO to manage the transition.

“We will communicate new developments during the transition period and an engagement session will be in the near future to address any enquiries and concerns that you may have,” the letter said.

Dr Chong, the National Key Economic Areas (NKEA) adviser to the Minister of Health, has 16 years working experience in the corporate healthcare sector including as chief executive of Sunway Medical Centre for 11 years.

On whether an audit is forthcoming for the hospital, Dr Chong said: "I am not authorised to comment and the board will speak when they are ready."

It is also unclear if Petronas will decide to take over the management of the hospital on its own or if it will hire a new hospital operator.

While the official price tag for the 300-bed hospital is reported as RM544 million, many said that the price had crossed the RM1 billion mark, including for the leasehold land (for current and future development) and equipment.

It incurred a pre-tax loss of RM450.58 million on the back of RM81.54 million revenue in its 2010 fiscal year.

In 2009, it reported a pre-tax loss of RM203.25 million on the back of RM24.12 million revenue.
