I am not too sure why the government agree to selling stakes to IJN to PLC. At the end of the day, the patients will suffer. About 85% of patients are government officers, pensioners and from poor social economic status. They may not be able to afford further care from this institution.
The newly developed Cardiology Department in Hospital Serdang has only 2 cardiac catheteization labs, as compared to 4 (may be up to 8 if the new wing is fully functioning) in IJN. The infrastructure is not there to cope with the demands from the public.
If IJN wants to be more profitable, then they should tap to medical tourism. Get more international patients and use their reputation as one of the world's best.
