History[edit | edit source]

Putrajaya Hospital (HPj) is situated on a 27.2-acre area in Precinct 7, Putrajaya. It was constructed in 1998 at a cost of RM283 million and began operations in stages on November 1, 2000. Initially, HPj had 278 beds, which increased to 341 beds in 2012 with the establishment of a Low Risk Maternity Center in Precinct 8. As of January 2018, the hospital officially operates with 369 beds.[1]

Future Developments[edit | edit source]

The Malaysian government has awarded engineering firm George Kent (M) Berhad a RM364.9 million contract to complete an endocrine extension to Putrajaya Hospital. This extension will enhance the hospital's capabilities as a tertiary referral center for endocrine diseases, including diabetes and hormonal disorders.[2][3]

Putrajaya Hospital is accredited by the Malaysian Society for Quality in Health (MSQH), demonstrating its commitment to providing quality healthcare services.[4]
