TE Asia Healthcare Partners to transform HSC Medical Centre into a top regional orthopaedic hospital
TE Asia Healthcare Partners acquired HSC Medical Centre (HSC) in December 2019 with the intention to turn it into the foremost orthopaedic hospital in the region.
HSC has been operating since 2003 and is an award-winning medical centre and one-stop advanced health screening hub. Apart from offering comprehensive health screening, it also offers cardiac and endoscopy services, and will soon provide general surgery services.
TE Asia decided to acquire HSC as it fits many of TE’s requirements. HSC is conveniently located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, within walking distance of the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. This location is very strategic to both local and foreign patients as well as convenient for doctors and staff. In addition, the HSC building still has room for expansion. HSC currently has 7 hospital beds, 1 cardiac laboratory and 1 operating theatre. TE Asia plans to expand HSC’s facilities to include 40 beds and 4 operating theatres.
TE Asia will be partnering with top orthopaedic surgeons to transform HSC into a specialty orthopaedic centre that will offer cutting-edge technology. The centre will be helmed by these experienced and eminent orthopaedic surgeons, who are widely recognised and are also thought leaders in their field. The surgeons will be supported by well-trained staff nurses and allied staff experienced in helping with orthopaedic treatments.
HSC’s orthopaedic services will be focusing on the joints and spine, including knee and hip replacements. This includes diagnostic, surgical and non-surgical orthopaedic services. Non-surgical services include steroid injections and physiotherapy.
The orthopaedic services at HSC are due to be launched at the end of the first quarter of 2021.
When asked about what makes HSC different from other hospitals in the region, TE Asia director Anwar Anis said, “There are similar hospitals offering orthopaedic services in Malaysia but not of the scale that HSC plans to do. We will be bigger and more focused in providing orthopaedic treatments than our competitors.” In addition, the doctors practising in HSC will be doing so on an exclusive basis.
