How our people go above and beyond to touch lives and transform care.
Gleneagles Hospital Penang Turns 48
From a humble three-storey building staffed by 70 employees, to the sprawling 19-storey multi-building complex run by 1,100 staff today, Gleneagles Hospital Penang certainly has much to sing about on its 48th birthday on 3 July. And what better way to remember its illustrious history than a heartwarming video highlighting the hospital’s milestones and its ever-growing family.
Commenting on the principles and spirit of Gleneagles Hospital Penang, Ivan Loh, Chief Executive Officer of Gleneagles Hospital Penang said, “Excellence is never by accident. It is always the result of sincere intention, strong efforts and intelligent execution by the team - all of whom work to complement one another towards achieving a single goal, which is to deliver unparalleled quality healthcare to our patients.”
Many things may have changed, but one thing remains constant – the team’s relentless pursuit of excellence in clinical and services standards. Cheers to Gleneagles Hospital Penang, and we wish the team many more fulfilling years of touching lives and transforming care.
