    About this ebook

    IN AN AREA ONCE HOME TO AN OIL PALM PLANTATION CALLED SEAFIELD ESTATE that was nestled in Selangor, Malaysia’s Klang Valley, Subang Jaya has matured rapidly into a modern community with plenty of amenities including schools, public transportation, a fully integrated high speed broadband Internet service network, large retail anchor stores, and vibrant commercial districts that have thrived much like other areas in and around the Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area. Just this year, Empire Gallery joined other two other major shopping complexes in serving a business district that also serves as a hub for many large universities and international education consulting firms.

    Just under a 40-minute drive from Kuala Lumpur International Airport is Sime Darby Medical Center Subang Jaya, a private hospital that not only has served community residents for more than a quarter of a century but also has become increasingly the choice of international patients, whom through word of mouth and medical referrals, have come to know first hand the hospital’s holistic emphasis on ensuring the availability of the latest medical technologies and therapies for diagnosing and treating a broad range of medical conditions and disease.

    Each year, more health travelers come to Sime Darby to seek treatment for world-class medical care at affordable rates far lower than what would be possible in other nations, especially the United States. The editors of Patients Beyond Borders invite you to learn more about Sime Darby’s facilities, specialties, and achievements in this special edition of Patients Beyond Borders Focus On.

      Patients Beyond Borders Focus On - Josef Woodman

      FOCUS ON: SIME DARBY MEDICAL CENTER SUBANG JAYA

      AS MUCH AS I ENJOY KUALA LUMPUR and its awe-inspiring sights—most notably the immense and incomparable Petronas Twin Towers—I usually visit Malaysia for business, not pleasure. And, increasingly, when I’m visiting this unassuming nation in Southeast Asia, I see tremendous signs of rapid expansion and innovation.

      Along with growth in nearly every sector, Malaysia has evolved into a top international healthcare destination offering world-class care at affordable prices. Sime Darby Medical Center in Subang Jaya has played a leading role in this metamorphosis, consistently setting medical firsts among its Malaysian healthcare peers since opening in 1985.

      With an impressive list of awards and honors, this private hospital caters to global patients with a staff of internationally trained specialists, a corps of nurses who exemplify the best Malaysian traits of compassion and hospitality, and facilities with the latest, most effective technologies. And, as a major bonus, medical charges and hospitalization costs remain remarkably affordable—among the best healthcare deals a patient can find in safe, accessible surroundings.

      Sime Darby Healthcare is easily among Malaysia’s most formidable standard-bearers for quality care. The rapidly growing state of Selangor is already well known for first-rate private hospitals, and in 2009 this medical center became the first in the area to earn the world’s highest level of international hospital accreditation—from the Joint Commission International, whose rigorous standards focus on the criteria that affect patient care the most. As Elaine Cheong, Sime Darby Healthcare’s chief executive officer for the medical business unit, says, Providing high-quality care is a team effort and one that gives both our employees and [our] doctors a feeling of prestige to work in an accredited hospital.

      Located within an easy drive of Kuala Lumpur’s city center and the international airport, Subang Jaya is an exceptional example of suburban development. A little more than 35 years ago, the area was predominantly a palm oil plantation. Today it is the largest residential municipality in the Klang Valley. Home to prominent colleges and universities, Subang Jaya offers dining in every imaginable culinary tradition, entertainment spots complete with live bands and dance floors, and, as in Kuala Lumpur, exceptional shopping.

      Most importantly, Sime Darby Medical Center Subang Jaya, like many of its internationally accredited peer hospitals in Malaysia, rounds out its commitment to high-quality care with gracious, friendly customer service—the essential ingredient that makes even the most challenging medical trip palatable and maybe even surprisingly pleasant.

      ABOUT SIME DARBY MEDICAL CENTER SUBANG JAYA

      ESTABLISHED IN 1985 IN THE HEART OF THE SUBANG JAYA DISTRICT in Selangor, Sime Darby Medical Center Subang Jaya (SDSJ) is the area’s largest healthcare provider. This tertiary-care hospital, with 393 beds and 14 operating theaters, has a staff of 170 physicians and surgeons and 650 nurses, all of whom speak English as well as other languages including Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and Spanish.

      Offering all major specialties, the hospital management and staff pride themselves on the use of revolutionary medical technologies and on their international reputation for clinical excellence. Operated by the Sime Darby Healthcare Group and owned by one of Malaysia’s oldest and largest conglomerates, Sime Darby Berhad, SDSJ averages up to 1,800 outpatients and 300 inpatients each day. More than 15,000 international patients come to SDSJ each year, including 2,500 from Japan, 1,300 from European nations, and 900 from the US and
