… why Putra Medical Centre

Putra Medical Centre – PMC’s origins can be traced back to 1991 when our pioneering founders Dato’ Dr. Lim Kim Huat (“Dato Dr. Lim”) and Yu Ching Hsiu acquired “Unique Luxury”, a private limited company, with the intention to venture into the operations of a medical centre. At the time, Dato Dr. Lim was already with 17 years of experience as a medical doctor, including running his own private clinic, Pusat Lim and Yu, for 4 years. The private clinic was previously located on 20B Jalan Pintu Sepuluh, Kampung Lubok Peringgi, 05100 Alor Setar, Kedah. Thus, the setting up of a medical centre was the next milestone in the journey of his blossoming medical career.

Dato Dr. Lim is a typical Northern native of Peninsula Malaysia. He was born and raised in Ayer Hitam, Kedah and had spent most of his childhood swimming in rivers catching catfish, herding animals, and diving chest deep into the paddy fields. His northern roots and being a son of this revered mainland state gave him the opportunity to understand and connect with the many races and cultures that make up this quaint royal state. Kedah of yesteryears was renowned as the ‘rice bowl’ of Malaysia and while it has an abundance of land and rich paddy fields, it had minimal modern amenities and barely any advanced medical expertise.

One day in his second year of university studies to become a medical doctor, Dato Dr. Lim received a telephone call from home. His mother was diagnosed with uterus cancer. Without second thought, he dropped all his plans and rushed home.

For the subsequent months, Dato Dr. Lim fetched his Mother, Chong Yeon, as she piggy backed on their little moped using the Old Roads of Ayer Hitam to Penang Island. Cutting through Alor Janggus, passing by Alor Setar and Simpang Empat, the Old Road was dimly lit and had stretches of unpaved section. Moped riders oftentimes had to ride onto the 2 feet allowance for freight lorries to pass. On your left, a river canal deeper than any man, on your right would have been lorries zipping past you at 70km/h only a few feet away – the journey would have been considered dangerous by today’s standards. However, they had no choice. Despite getting suspended from university, he continued his days working part time and accompanying his mother for her medical treatment – surgery and rounds of chemotherapy. All that travelling gave Dato Dr. Lim a lot of time to ponder about his future.

In later years, this personal experience actually inspired him to set up a medical centre on the mainland, so that advance medical treatment is made available to the people of Kedah, and all humble folks of the Northern states have access to modern medical facilities.

Dato Dr. Lim’s Mother travelled to Penang just to seek for medical treatment. In later years, this personal experience actually inspired him to build a medical centre here in Kedah.

Our medical centre began operations with 2 medical officers, 8 resident specialist consultants, and 62 beds, offering accident and emergency services, as well as otorhinolaryngology, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, radiology, and orthopaedics specialist services. Today our team of consultants increased to 29 resident specialist consultants and 18 visiting specialist consultants.

Putra Medical Centre has been serving the local communities of Alor Setar and have over recent years grown to become one of the premier healthcare providers in Kedah and the Northern region of Peninsula Malaysia. Our medical consultants and specialists provide quality healthcare and treatment assisted by diligent nurses and allied healthcare professionals. Putra Medical Centre provides an extensive list of medical services and specialties including Anaesthesiology, Cardiology, Dental Service, Ophthalmology, Cataract Operation, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, ENT Surgeries, General Surgery, Radiology, Physiotherapy, High Dependency Unit with Ventilator and more.

Patient’s Testimonial

Mrs. Lee A.H

“I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Chew Chang Eek, Resident Physician (Internal Medicine), and his incredible team at Putra Medical Centre for their outstanding care and dedication in treating my mother. Your professionalism, compassion and unwavering commitment have truly made a difference. Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure her well-being – it means the world to us.”

Ibnu Khalifah bin Ridzuwan al Halim

“Pada pendapat saya, hospital swasta mampu milik utk rakyat Marhaen. Pernah bawak anak tgh malam sebab kena croup, jumpa dr dan ambil gas di kecemasan beserta ubat, dikenakan bayaran yg agak mampu bayar, maybe lebih murah daripada pergi ke klinik swasta pada waktu tgh malam. Juga pernah bawak isteri utk dapatkan konsultasi gynae, servis daripada Dato’ Dr Lim Tze Chou sangat professional dan terbaik!!”

Mdm. Lina

“Highly recommended! Dr. Ahmad Hafiz clearly explained the treatment and cause of my ear problem. Very gentle, skillful, passionate and wide experience. I enjoyed the series of treatments here.

His treatment approach is suitable for various ages including kids and senior citizens. Do not hesitate to consult with this ENT specialist, one of the best ENTs in Kedah!”

Mrs. Gan

“I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Emergency team for the outstanding care and treatment provided during my recent visit.

After undergoing surgery, I am now in the recovery phase, and I cannot thank the team enough for their unwavering support throughout this journey. The level of attention shown by every member of the team has truly made a difference in my healing process.

Please continue to uphold this high standard of care and service. Your dedication and commitment to your patients do not go unnoticed. Thank you for your excellent work.”
