JOHOR BAHRU, 8 October 2024 – Regency Specialist Hospital (RSH) proudly introduces the newly opened Regency Medical Care Centre (RMCC), strategically located in The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey. As the first ambulatory care centre located in a shopping mall in Johor, RMCC is designed to be a one-stop healthcare hub, providing convenience and accessibility to quality medical services right in the heart of the city.
The opening event, graced by Yang Berhormat Tuan Ling Tian Soon, the Johor Health and Environment Committee Chairman, further reinforces RMCC’s pivotal role in supporting the health needs of local and international patients.
Yang Berhormat Tuan Ling Tian Soon commended RMCC for aligning with government initiatives aimed at boosting medical tourism and improving community health and said “RMCC exemplifies the success of public-private partnerships in advancing healthcare. It not only strengthens Johor’s position as a healthcare hub but also encourages proactive health management and disease prevention for the benefit of all.”
As Malaysia moves toward achieving its goal of becoming a premier global healthcare destination by 2025, the medical tourism sector is poised to generate an estimated annual revenue of RM2 billion in that year.(1) Aligned with this, the upcoming Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, expected to be finalized during the 11th Singapore-Malaysia Leaders' Retreat, will further strengthen healthcare collaboration and enhance medical tourism across borders.(2)
“Medical tourism is a rapidly growing sector, and by combining world-class medical technology, skilled professionals, and a commitment to patient-centred care, RMCC has the potential to be a driving force in attracting international patients, particularly from Singapore, Indonesia and other neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia.”, said Ms Chin Wei Jia, Executive Director and Group Chief Executive Officer of HMI Medical, highlighting RMCC’s role in boosting Malaysia’s medical tourism industry.
In recent times, Johor has also seen an increase in health cluster outbreaks from food poisoning to the influenza virus and dengue cases in June 2024.(3) As a convenient ambulatory care centre, RMCC focuses on health screenings, specialist services, occupational health, and diagnostic imaging to enhance patient care by connecting to Regency Specialist Hospital’s renowned healthcare expertise.
In line with rapid technological advancements, as seen in the government’s 2022 initiative to test medical robotics across five hospitals,(4) RMCC is equipped with state-of-the-art technology—such as X-ray, ultrasound, Digital Mammogram (Tomosynthesis), CT scan, and Bone Densitometry Examination (DEXA), to ensure fast and accurate diagnoses, leading to improved health outcomes.
Speaking at the launch, Ms Serena Yong, Chief Executive Officer of Regency Specialist Hospital, outlined RMCC’s commitment to becoming a leading healthcare hub for patients from all walks of life, both domestically and internationally. “What truly sets RMCC apart is our focus on early detection, preventive care, and overall health management. As we embrace technological advancements, we continually strive to enhance our offerings for the benefit of our patients. The new HMI One app, designed for local and international patients exemplifies this commitment by simplifying scheduling appointments at RMCC."
RMCC is now open, ready to serve the community and international visitors alike. With a steadfast commitment to advancing health and well-being, RMCC aims to leave a lasting impact through accessible, high-quality healthcare services.
In conjunction with its opening, special offers await the first 150 customers who sign up for any two of the wellness packages at RMCC to receive complimentary services worth RM500! Find out more at www.regencymedicalcare.com
