Sneak-peek into Pulai Springs Healthcare Centre

 

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.

As in previous years, the Open House event was hosted in Dewan Kencanapuri with live-cooking stations that served Hari Raya specialties, desserts and drinks.

 

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.

 

When I first learnt about their Healthcare project, I thought that it was a step in the right direction about an investment into the future of healthcare in this community, and looked forward to seeing this becoming a reality.

 

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.

 

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.

 

The brand-new Reception desk

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 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.

 

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.

 

Thanks GM Sunny, for the sneak-peek into
the Pulai Springs Healthcare Centre

This included specialist consultations across multiple disciplines, general medical treatment as well as day-care surgeries and procedures.

 

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.
