Puteri Nursing College

At KPJ Healthcare, training and building a value-added workforce is an integral part of our services and responsibilities. Heralding the nation's call to solve the challenge of inadequate supply of nurses, KPJ Healthcare boldly took ownership of the critical situation and blaze the way to establish our own Puteri Nursing College (PNC) in 1991 and became the first corporate body to obtain Government mandate to upgrade the nursing qualification to Diploma level and implement the 3-year course using the new curriculum.

Since then, PNC has initiated and led the country's nursing training by offering more specialised courses in major disciplines like Operating Theatre Department Practices, Bachelor of Nursing and other clinical areas through collaborative effort with reputable universities around the globe.

Human Resource

KPJ Healthcare's unceasing emphasis and strong investment in human resource development was reaffirmed when our pioneer group of nursing graduates achieved 100 percent passes in 1994. To date, KPJ Healthcare stands tall with PNC's untainted record of excellence and aspires to further establish PNC as the first international nursing college in the region.

Professional Education

Fully acknowledging the human potential as the most important element in enhancing professionalism, management expertise and turning visions to realities, KPJ Healthcare has further initiated and launched strategic affiliations with international partners and foreign universities to provide continuing professional education to its team of consultants and staff.

By helping to train and further develop healthcare professionals, KPJ Healthcare has undertaken the sponsorship of doctors, pharmacists, nurses, paramedics, and other support personnel to meet the constantly growing demand for quality healthcare services in the country.

Overseas Programs

To strengthen professional skills and knowledge in the respective areas of healthcare specialisation, overseas attachment and programs such as hospital design brief planning and biomedical engineering in Dublin, Ireland, cardiothoracic surgery nursing and health information technology in Perth, Australia are being undertaken.

Malaysian Institute of Healthcare Management

In an effort to create professionally qualified healthcare managers in the country, KPJ Healthcare has embarked on a health management development program with the establishment of a dedicated healthcare management institution Malaysian Institute of Healthcare Management (MIHM) offering the Post- graduate Diploma Program in Health Services and Hospital Management, conducted locally by MIHM in collaboration with a premier university in United Kingdom.

The First

For the first time and until to-date, KPJ Healthcare is the only private healthcare player who has invested in the training and further education for healthcare managers to boost the nation's manpower and management needs in the sector into the next millennium.
