Putrajaya Hospital among world's best
PUTRAJAYA: The Putrajaya Hospital (HPj) has made history by being recognised as one of the World's Best Hospitals in 2025 by Newsweek and Statista, a recognition that not only brings pride but also proves the excellence of the national healthcare system.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar said the recognition was not merely a number or title but a reflection of the dedication shown by every doctor, nurse and medical staff who work tirelessly to provide the best care to patients.
"This success belongs to all the patients who believed and gave their support, the families who loyally stood by, and the society that appreciates the noble efforts of these healthcare heroes.
"May Putrajaya Hospital continue to be a symbol of excellence and an inspiration to all medical institutions in the country," he said in a post on his official Facebook page today.
A check on the Newsweek and Statista websites showed HPj ranked 29th with a score of 71.59 per cent.
Meanwhile, former Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah also extended his congratulations and appreciation to all HPj staff on the achievement via a social media post.
He said the prestigious recognition was the result of an independent and transparent assessment based on key parameters including recommendations and evaluations by fellow medical professionals, hospital quality metrics, and patient experience.
"This success is proof of the ongoing commitment of every hospital member – from the frontliners to the administrators – in delivering high-quality, safe, and patient-centred care.
"May this recognition continue to inspire all of us to uphold excellence and further strengthen HPj as the nation's preferred healthcare centre," he said. – BERNAMA

ONE'S health is a matter that should never be neglected. Unfortunately, some suffering from long-term diseases, desperate to be rid of what ails them, can be susceptible to unscrupulous businesses. In that regard, is there any truth that a deputy minister is promoting a health product for diabetes patients? Verdict: FALSE The Health Ministry has asked the public to be wary of a video on social media that misuses the identity of Deputy Health Minister Datuk Lukanisman Awang Sauni to promote a diabetes care product. It said that the deputy minister had never endorsed such a product and added that his image was generated using artificial intelligence! "The public is advised to only use health products registered with the Health Ministry and not to purchase any health products from unaccredited sellers or vendors, especially through online platforms," it said in a Facebook post on Sunday (June 8). The ministry said consumers should only use health products after consultation with and guidance received from qualified medical practitioners. The ministry also urged the public to report any unregistered health products to its pharmacy services programme through the public complaint management system (SisPAA) at "The ministry strongly condemns the unethical use of AI technology," it said, adding that use of unauthorised health products was dangerous and could even lead to death!
