Serdang Hospital

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Serdang Hospital is a government-funded multi-specialty hospital located in the district of Sepang in the state of Selangor, Malaysia. This hospital is located near Putrajaya, the Malaysian federal government administrative centre. The location of the hospital borders the South Kajang Valley Expressway (SKVE) to the east and the medical faculty of Universiti Putra Malaysia to the west. It is clearly seen from the North-South Expressway at the Kajang Interchange.

Serdang Hospital, which commenced operation on December 15, 2005, was built with the purpose of serving the roughly 570,000 population of Serdang, Putrajaya, Kajang and Bangi. It has a total area of 129,000 square metres and has 620 beds. The construction costs RM690 million and is one of the electronic hospital networks planned by the Malaysian Government.

It is designated as the reference center for cardiology, cardiothoracic, urology and nephrology surgery. The hospital will provide affordable, quality treatment for heart patients from the lower income group. The center will cooperate with the Selayang Hospital, which specializes in renal care and liver transplants.

From planning to construction, the hospital was built on the concept of 'hospital of the future'. Serdang Hospital is the first hospital in Malaysia to use aluminium coating to give it a shiny exterior. It is also the first hospital in Malaysia to use a futuristic cooling system to maintain the hospital temperature and reduce eletricity usage.

The management of Serdang Hospital heavily relies on information technology and uses the 'Total Hospital Information System'

The hospital is surrounded by a park measuring 45 acres. The landscape of the hospital is also known to be therapeutic to the patients.

The hospital also serves as a teaching hospital for medical students from the Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).
