MAKING PREMIUM HEALTHCARE AFFORDABLE
Putra Medical Centre Alor Setar started with a simple mission: to bring better healthcare to the people of Kedah. Founded by Dato’ Dr. Lim Kim Huat in 1995, the hospital began with just 62 beds and a small team of specialists. Fast-forward to today and PMC has 29 specialist consultant to afford our valued patrons everything from heart care to general surgery to gynaecology to orthopaedic fixes and more.
What sets us apart is our continued pledge and endeavour to keep healthcare affordable. Despite the rising cost of medical services, this hospital has worked hard to keep prices reasonable, ensuring that more people can access the healthcare they need. In so doing, we have earned a reputation for bespoke services that are backed by ongoing training for our staff and the latest in medical technology. We are also working hard to continuously improve and adapt, ensuring that our services remain accessible, efficient and of the highest quality for our community.

These efforts have been well-received, depicting just how much the community values this approach.
Footprint of Humanitarianism
On an equally essential note, our workforce wasn’t just focused on treating patients when Kedah was hit by floods. The hospital made it a point to look out for our staff, offering free medical help to those affected by the disaster, all while ensuring patient care continued without interruption. This level of commitment to both patients and employees reflects just how much PMC cares about the community.
Humanising The Personal Touch
The patient takes precedence here. Our approach to care is holistic. This means that the person is seen as a whole, and isn’t just measured by his or her symptoms. This includes paying close attention to the emotional and social aspects of one’s state, making sure all patients feel supported throughout their journey. PMC also goes beyond treatment by engaging with the community through health education programmes and partnerships with local groups. This helps to improve health outcomes for everyone.
