I
was pleased to accept the invitation from Pulai Springs Resort to their Hari
Raya Open House celebration not only as an annual tradition but also to get the
latest update on their project to develop the Pulai Springs Healthcare Centre.

Dressed
in Baju Raya finery, General Manager Sunny Soo, and PR Communications
Manager, Charlotte Monterio, warmly welcomed guests to the event and encouraged
us to help ourselves to the buffet spread.
They
were also quick to assure me that later, there will not only be an update on
their Healthcare Centre project but guests who were keen to have a sneak peek,
will also have the opportunity to visit the recently refurbished premises.
In
the spirit of Hari Raya, the Open House event kicked off with live
entertainment by a vocalist singing with a band who presented popular Raya
songs, followed by a colourful performance by traditional dancers.
When
GM Sunny stepped up to give his welcome address, guests were reminded about the
professional partnership between Pulai Springs and the Qualitas Medical Group
that will manage the Healthcare Centre.
Night view of the new access road into
the Resort and the Healthcare Centre
I
am familiar with the facilities in Pulai Springs Resort and the
work-in-progress to refurbish the former Golf Clubhouse into the Ambulatory
Care Centre (ACC) of the Pulai Springs Healthcare Centre. This single-storey
building structure will remain virtually unchanged to provide easy access and
wheelchair friendly facilities.
Earlier
on, I arrived at the Resort via the new access road that had a separate new road
that led directly to the ACC lobby, designed for patients to enjoy convenient
valet services as well as patient-relations services.
I
remembered the concept of the ACC which will be equipped with a fully-fledged
Operating Theatre to perform procedures and will only have a few beds for
day-care stays.
The brand-new Reception desk
The
ACC aims to provide a range of specialist medical treatments and procedures to
outpatients, in medical emergencies as well as referrals to other medical
specialists.
A
brief update on the project was provided by Hj Kalamhamidi Abu Bakar, PhD,
Director and Senior Principal of Perunding Mediconsult, the Advisor for QMC Sdn
Bhd and Pulai Springs Healthcare Centre.
Soon
after his presentation, guests were invited to visit the Healthcare Centre
group-by-group, for a sneak peek of the premises and I did not hesitate to
join.
The ward with a few beds for day-care stays
While
the façade of the building appeared to be brand new, the furnishings and
fitting-out of equipment inside, was still in progress.
From
the reception area to the consultation rooms and treatment rooms, we could
visualize the medical services that will eventually be provided.
This
included specialist consultations across multiple disciplines, general medical
treatment as well as day-care surgeries and procedures.
Thanks GM Sunny, for the sneak-peek into
the Pulai Springs Healthcare Centre
The
Centre will also be equipped with an on-site pharmacy, fully-equipped
laboratory services, along with advanced imaging and diagnostic services.
This
Healthcare Centre which is taking shape in Pulai Springs aims to provide
comprehensive, high-quality outpatient services in a comfortable and welcoming
environment. Fully-licensed by the Ministry of Health, it is scheduled to be
fully-operational very soon.
