Malaysian tycoon Jeffrey Cheah's Sunway Healthcare starts work on $196M Johor hospital
Sunway Healthcare, part of billionaire Jeffrey Cheah's Sunway Group, has broken ground on an RM800 million (US$196.2 million) hospital in Johor, its first in the southern Malaysian state.
Malaysian tycoon Jeffrey Cheah's Sunway Healthcare has commenced construction on a $196 million, multi-specialty tertiary hospital in Johor. The Sunway Medical Center Iskandar Puteri is set to be completed by 2030 and will feature over 400 beds and employ more than 1,400 healthcare professionals. The hospital is part of Sunway Group's Sunway City Iskandar Puteri, a 2,000-acre township with around 7,000 residents.
The development is expected to boost investment and talent in the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone. Cheah, Sunway Group's founder and chairman, emphasized the importance of quality healthcare for Johor's growth. Sunway Healthcare also plans to expand its presence in Johor with additional facilities such as a fertility center, an ambulatory care center, and elder-care facilities.
By 2032, the firm aims to operate eight hospitals across Malaysia with a combined capacity of over 3,400 beds.
