KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 15): Master township developer KL Wellness City Sdn Bhd (KLWC) aims to provide more than 4,000 job opportunities for medical professionals at its healthcare-themed development.

In a statement on Tuesday (Feb 14), KLWC said the Nobel Healthcare Park, which consists of the medical, business, wellness and retail suites, has a fully connected ecosystem of specialists and ancillary medical services interlinked with adjacent International Hospital @ KL Wellness City, approved as a tertiary hospital with 624 beds and scalable to 1,000-bed capacity.

KLWC managing director Datuk Dr Colin Lee said as the local professional workforce in the healthcare sector is migrating overseas in pursuit of other opportunities, KLWC is committed to taking a part in retaining them.

“Malaysia has a lot to offer the younger generations.

“We do not hope to see them looking across border and leaving the country thinking the pasture is greener, in the healthcare sector as well as across other industries,” said Lee.

Meanwhile, Commonwealth Medical Association president Dr Muruga Raj Rajathurai said the healthcare industry is a vital sector for any country, an effort to retain local workforce requires a concerted effort, to provide opportunities for professional development, and create a more supportive and appealing work environment for healthcare professionals in Malaysia.

“With state-of-the-art medical facilities and services integrated into its ecosystem, I believe KL Wellness City can attract local talent and professionals with various employment opportunities and career prospects,” he said.
