PETALING JAYA : KPJ Healthcare Berhad has launched a new mobile Klinik Waqaf An-Nur at Hospital Sultanah Aminah in Johor Bahru to ease congestion at public hospitals and improve access to affordable after-hours medical care.
In a statement, KPJ said the initiative is a joint effort between the Johor government, the state health department, Waqaf An-Nur Corporation Berhad, and the state health executive councillor's office.
Operating from 8pm to midnight, the mobile clinic offers consultations, basic medications, and medical certificates at subsidised rates equivalent to those at public healthcare facilities.
'This is also the first time a KWAN mobile clinic is operating within a public hospital setting in Johor, which reflects the strength of our collaboration with government partners,' Chin Keat Chyuan, president and managing director of KPJ Healthcare, said in a statement today. 'It is part of our commitment under the KPJ Health System to deliver more connected, inclusive care.'
KWAN, a CSR initiative based on the Islamic concept of waqaf, is funded by zakat contributions and charitable endowments. Since its inception, it has served over 2.2 million patients through eight static clinics, eight dialysis centres, and nine mobile units across Malaysia.
The mobile units have been operating in Johor since 2017, with the latest addition at Hospital Sultanah Aminah extending its reach to patients seeking care at public hospitals.
