IHH Healthcare donates RM1.0 million to flood relief efforts in Malaysia andreadies medical support teams to render further aid
“Our hearts go out to all victims of the floods in Malaysia. With many thousands displaced from the widespread destruction and many struggling to recover from the aftermath, there remains strong need for large-scale, continuing humanitarian aid.
We are therefore partnering with the Malaysian Red Crescent Society and MERCY Malaysia to support their critical work on the ground. As a healthcare provider that is deeply connected to Malaysia, we are also ready to extend further support and medical assistance for those impacted.
Even as relief work is now focused on restoring livelihoods and rebuilding communities, a second wave of floods cannot be ruled out. IHH will stand ready to alleviate the burden on affected communities and offer more assistance as the situation requires.”
Dr Prem Kumar Nair
Group Chief Executive Officer, IHH Healthcare
“In these challenging times, IHH Healthcare Malaysia remains steadfast in our commitment to the community, standing as a trusted healthcare partner. Beyond providing quality care, we are extending our reach by partnering with established humanitarian organisations engaged in flood relief efforts. Together, we aim to provide comfort, reassurance and hope to Malaysians as we face these difficulties side by side.”

In light of recent floods across Malaysia, IHH Healthcare Group is donating RM1.0 million to the Malaysian Red Crescent Society (“MRCS”) and MERCY Malaysia, with RM500,000 allocated to each organisation. This contribution aims to support critical relief efforts and address the widespread postflood effects.
Alongside the financial assistance, the Group’s IHH Healthcare Malaysia operations stand ready to offer on-site support and assistance.
The donation to MRCS will bolster their emergency fund, so they can extend essential services such as providing meals, medical aid, hygiene kits and psychosocial assistance for victims of the floods.
The donation to MERCY Malaysia will support mobile clinics providing essential healthcare to flood-hit rural areas, prioritising vulnerable groups. Efforts include home visits, evacuation centre care, and rehabilitating clinics to restore services and strengthen long-term resilience in impacted regions.
On the ground, IHH Healthcare Malaysia hospitals have been contributing aid to affected communities.
Pantai Hospital Ipoh, in collaboration with the City Council, brought hope and relief to flood victims in Fairpark and Bercham Ipoh. Essential items, such as mattresses and gas stoves, were donated to those in need, demonstrating the hospital's unwavering commitment to community support.
Pantai Hospital Sungai Petani contributed a boat to Bomba Sukarelawan Sungai Petani to aid in rescue missions across flood-stricken areas, including operations in Jitra and Kelantan. The hospital has also distributed food and essential supplies to victims stranded in their homes in Jitra. Additionally, Pantai Hospital Sungai Petani and Pantai Hospital Laguna Merbok have organised donation drives to further
assist affected communities.
IHH Healthcare remains committed to supporting its communities through this challenging time.
