KPJ Healthcare's President & Managing Director Receives ASEAN Outstanding CEO Leadership Award
KPJ Healthcare Berhad ('KPJ Healthcare') is pleased to announce that its President & Managing Director, Mr Chin Keat Chyuan, has been conferred the ASEAN Outstanding CEO Leadership in Healthcare Excellence Award at the 2025 ASEAN Leadership and Partnership Forum.
The award was presented in recognition of Mr Chin's visionary leadership in steering KPJ Healthcare towards becoming a purpose-driven, patient-centric organisation aligned with ASEAN's aspirations for inclusive, innovative and sustainable growth.
Since assuming his role in September 2023, Mr Chin has led a comprehensive transformation agenda, focusing not only on financial performance, but also on cultural change, operational excellence and stakeholder value creation. Under his leadership, KPJ has undertaken a group-wide rebranding exercise, recorded its highest-ever financial results and implemented the KPJ Health System – an integrated framework that brings together clinical excellence, research and medical education across the Group.

KPJ Healthcare has also intensified its commitment to medical innovation through the expansion of its digital health ecosystem and the adoption of advanced technologies. Notably, the Group has rolled out its robotic-assisted surgery programme across key hospitals to enhance clinical outcomes, safety and the overall patient experience.
'This recognition is not mine alone,' said Mr Chin Keat Chyuan. 'It reflects the dedication of every member of KPJ Healthcare and the strong support we have received from our Board of Directors and shareholders. Together, we are transforming not just systems, but mindsets — nurturing a culture that places patients, physicians, people, partner and the planet at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is clear: to deliver healthcare that is not only excellent, but also compassionate, data-driven and sustainable.'
The forum, themed 'Unleashing ASEAN's Potential Through Innovative, Inclusive and Sustainable Growth,' was held at InterContinental Kuala Lumpur yesterday and jointly organised by the KSI Strategic Institute for Asia Pacific, ASEAN Economic Club (AEC), ASEAN Business Advisory Council (ASEAN-BAC) and ASEAN Business Club (ABC). It was co-organised by China Daily and supported by the World Digital Chamber (WDC).
The award not only recognises Mr Chin's leadership, but also affirms KPJ Healthcare's commitment to advancing healthcare in Malaysia and across the ASEAN region.
As part of its regional contribution, KPJ Healthcare is a strategic partner of the Malaysia International Healthcare ('MIH') Megatrends Conference 2025, an initiative led by the Ministry of Health Malaysia. MIH is a flagship platform that brings together healthcare leaders, policymakers and innovators across ASEAN to shape the future of healthcare delivery. This partnership reflects KPJ's ongoing commitment to fostering knowledge exchange, regional collaboration and investment in value-based, patient-centred care.
