Gleneagles Hospital Johor Brings Healthcare to the Metaverse
19 Feb 2025

Gleneagles Hospital Johor is leveraging the metaverse to enhance patient care. Through the innovative ‘Value in Every Step’ Metaverse Health Hunt, the hospital is demonstrating how cutting-edge technology and compassionate healthcare come together to deliver a better experience for patients.

Held in February 2025, the exclusive media event gave participants a first-hand look at how innovation is shaping modern healthcare. Through an immersive 3D metaverse journey combined with a guided hospital tour, the guests explored key facilities at Gleneagles Hospital Johor, including the Cancer Centre, Accident & Emergency Unit, Health Screening Centre, and the soon-to-be-launched Level 7 Rehabilitation Facility.

“The ‘Value in Every Step’ Metaverse Health Hunt & Media Tour reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering meaningful healthcare experiences through innovation and patient-centred care,” said Dr Kamal Amzan, CEO of Gleneagles Hospital Johor and Regional CEO (Southern and Eastern), IHH Healthcare Malaysia.

“By integrating advanced technology with compassionate, personalised treatment, we ensure that every step of a patient’s journey from diagnosis to recovery is not only effective but also reassuring and transformative. This event allowed us to demonstrate how our expertise and dedication contribute to building trust and improving access to holistic care across the region.”

Advancing Treatments & International Patient Care

Gleneagles Hospital Johor continues to set new benchmarks in minimally invasive procedures, improving patient outcomes and reducing recovery times. Since May 2023, the hospital has performed over 250 Obstetrics & Gynaecology robotic surgeries and 100 robotic total knee replacements, reinforcing its reputation as a centre of excellence in robotic-assisted procedures.

During the event, media representatives also toured the Premier International Patient Lounge, a dedicated space designed to streamline care for patients from Batam, Pekan Baru, and Dumai. With multilingual staff, private amenities, and personalised services, the welcoming lounge reflects the hospital’s commitment to delivering seamless, world-class healthcare experiences.

One of the event’s standout moments was a live demonstration of the hospital’s PET-CT technology, featuring the region’s first Gallium scanner and Johor’s second fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) scanner. These advancements enhance cancer diagnosis accuracy and treatment planning, ensuring patients receive faster and more precise care.

With continuous innovation at its core, Gleneagles Hospital Johor remains committed to enhancing patient care. The upcoming Level 7 Rehabilitation Facility will provide a comprehensive approach to post-treatment recovery, further strengthening the hospital’s holistic wellness ecosystem.

As healthcare evolves, Gleneagles Hospital Johor is at the forefront - proving that innovation and empathy go hand in hand.
