Mara takes first step towards setting up its own hospital
KUALA LUMPUR: Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) has taken the first steps towards establishing its first hospital by forming a special task force to drive the initiative, says its chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki.
Mara, a Malaysian development agency, has initiated the formation of a special task force to establish its first hospital, Hospital Mara. Chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki revealed that Mara already possesses a robust healthcare ecosystem, including 160 U.n.i KLINIK, U.n.i Farmasi, and U.n.i Dental outlets, as well as institutions producing medical and healthcare professionals.
Asyraf emphasized that the establishment of the hospital would serve as a teaching hospital, a center of healthcare excellence, and a catalyst for Bumiputera economic development. The hospital would complete Mara's education ecosystem, particularly that of UniKL Royal College of Medicine Perak (UniKL RCMP), which offers healthcare programmes including nursing, pharmacy, and physiotherapy.
