The cancer centre is offering extensive cancer treatment services and support in the region
A new state-of-the-art Cancer Centre to provide comprehensive cancer treatment services to cancer patients across the region was launched by Gleneagles Medini Hospital.
The RM25 million Cancer Centre is a welcome boost to the RM400 million already invested in the hospital since it began operations in 2015.
“The advanced oncology services offered by Gleneagles Medini Hospital Johor would boost the state’s economy,” said Menteri Besar of Johor, Dato’ Dr Sahruddin Jamal, who officiated the event.
The Cancer Centre offers end-to-end cancer treatment services and support including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy and biological targeted therapy, delivered by a highly experienced and skilled multi-disciplinary team of medical specialist consultants, nurses, counsellors and other paramedical professionals.
The hospital is also equipped with the latest Elekta Synergy Radiotherapy with C-RAD system which offers 3-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3DRT), Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) and Volumetric Arc Therapy (VMAT) or Rapid Arc. The cutting-edge technology enables more precise, accurate and quicker treatment using a lower dose of radiation so that patients can quickly resume their normal routine while enhancing overall quality of life.
Gleneagles Medini Hospital Johor is currently operating with almost 150 beds and will add another 30 beds by end of 2019.
