- Prince Court
Prince Court’s Nuclear Medicine department performed its first Yttrium-90 Radiosynovectomy (RSV) treatment for Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (PVNS), a rare benign tumor at the joint. Yttrium-90 was injected into the left knee of the patient, minimising the common risk of disease reoccurrence. - Island Hospital
Island Hospital’s Cancer Centre team was the first in Malaysia to receive the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) 2024 Clinical Excellence and Patient Safety Award in December 2024, demonstrating our commitment to maintaining the highest level of clinical excellence. - Pantai
We performed the first artificial skin grafting in Northern Malaysia on two patients in 2024. Both cases involved wounds with exposed tendons and made use of two types of graft. The first graft was a matrix that promoted granulation over the tendon, while the second was an endofoam, which promoted the growth of new skin cells. The patients’ wounds healed in under three months – a quicker recovery time thanks to techniques utilised and optimal post-operative care.

In Johor, we became the first hospital in Malaysia to use artificial intelligence (AI) to detect anomalies in chest and brain imaging, setting a new standard in accuracy and efficiency. The Annalise AI can detect up to 124 abnormalities in under 20 seconds for chest X-rays, and up to 130 abnormalities in under two minutes for brain CT scans. - Pantai
We were the first hospital in Melaka to introduce robot-assisted surgery, and have successfully completed these high-tech procedures in diverse specialties including urology, gynaecology, hepatobiliary, colorectal surgery and general surgery. Based on early data, these advanced surgeries have led to a shorter length of stay and reduction in rate of blood transfusion.

changes over time; distinguish between fresh
and old rib injuries; and locate pneumonia
with greater precision.
