Putra Medical Centre

What Putra Medical Centre does

Putra Medical Centre (PMC) is a 121-bed acute care private hospital headquartered in Alor Setar, Kedah, Malaysia, serving patients across Kedah and northern Peninsular Malaysia. Operated through Unique Luxury Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bursa Malaysia-listed PMCK Berhad (ticker: PMCK), the hospital provides 24/7 emergency services, inpatient care, outpatient specialist consultations, diagnostic imaging, and surgical procedures across 14+ medical specialties staffed by 47 specialist consultants (29 resident plus 18 visiting). The company was founded in 1991 by Dato' Dr. Lim Kim Huat following a personal experience with inadequate healthcare access in Kedah, and has grown from an initial 62-bed facility into a multi-site healthcare provider. PMC holds MSQH accreditation and has received multiple regional awards including Healthcare Asia Awards 2026 and ACES Awards 2025.

The business operates a hub-and-spoke model: the main 121-bed Alor Setar hospital is complemented by UNIK Polyclinic 24 Hours & Dental Clinic in Kulim, UNIK Dental Clinic in Semenyih (Selangor), and Rym Dx Laboratory in Lunas Kulim, collectively forming a network that addresses primary care, specialty dental, and diagnostic testing beyond the acute care core. Ancillary offerings include the PUTRA Health Screening Packages 1-10 spanning preventive to executive tiers, vaccination services, eye care and cataract surgery, OGDS/colonoscopy, and inpatient accommodation tiers from four-bed wards to Platinum and Deluxe VIP rooms. Revenue is generated through professional services billing — inpatient admissions, outpatient specialist consultations, surgical procedures, diagnostic imaging, laboratory tests, and health screening packages — with payments accepted via cash, cards, insurance/TPA billing, and corporate accounts. Technology infrastructure comprises hospital information systems, PACS/RIS for radiology workflows, and sustainability-focused facilities including MyCREST five-star certified infrastructure at the Kulim site.

The go-to-market is primarily direct-to-consumer, anchored on 24/7 emergency services and walk-in admissions, supplemented by corporate wellness and occupational health programs targeting employer accounts. Marketing spans the corporate website, an active social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, content marketing via an 'Ask Our Expert' blog series, and CSR-driven community health awareness initiatives. PMCK Berhad completed its listing on Bursa Malaysia's ACE Market in 2025 following a 2024 conversion from private to public limited company, marking a transition that provides capital for further expansion of the multi-site model across northern Malaysia and potentially the wider Peninsular market.
