KUALA LUMPUR: Radium Development Berhad, a homegrown property developer known for its affordably priced homes across the Klang Valley, has officially ventured into the healthcare sector with the launch of its first medical facility, Radium Hospital @ Ayer Keroh.
Currently known as A Famosa Specialist Hospital, the facility will be repositioned under the newly established Radium Healthcare Sdn Bhd, marking a significant milestone in the group’s diversification strategy.
Strategically situated adjacent to the Melaka International Trade Centre (MITC) and within close proximity to the PLUS Highway, the tertiary-level hospital is designed to cater to the evolving healthcare needs of Tier 2 towns. It will serve a broad patient base ranging from middle- to high-income groups, insurance holders, corporate clients, and medical tourists.
“As a brand built on the belief of ‘Building Good’, our venture into healthcare is a natural extension of our mission to serve Malaysians from all walks of life,” said Datuk Gary Gan, Group Managing Director of Radium. “Just as we’ve provided quality housing solutions, we’re now committed to offering the same reliability, compassion, and excellence in healthcare.”
Set to commence operations in the first half of 2028, Radium Hospital @ Ayer Keroh will be the centrepiece of Radium Centricity, a proposed 7.11-acre integrated development focused on health, wellness, and well-being. The wider masterplan will eventually include residential and commercial components, supporting the hospital with lifestyle and healthcare-related services.
The hospital will house Centres of Excellence in traumatised care, cardiology, infertility treatment, and neonatology—areas identified as critical to Melaka’s healthcare landscape.
“Our vision is to create a healthcare system that is inclusive, ethical, and adaptable,” said Dr Arun Kumar, CEO of Radium Healthcare. “This hospital represents the first step in building a network of community-focused facilities that meet the highest clinical standards while remaining affordable to the public.”
Radium Healthcare’s business model emphasises long-term sustainability through a combination of internal funding, strategic borrowings, asset-light structures, and operational efficiency. The group is also investing in technological upgrades and rigorous safety protocols, while pursuing MSQH accreditation to ensure clinical excellence.
Partnerships will be a core component of Radium Healthcare’s approach. The company is working closely with local corporates and NGOs, and has formed a strategic collaboration with M Life Healthcare Sdn Bhd, helmed by Dr Arun Kumar.
“With Dr Arun’s leadership and our shared vision, we’re confident that Radium Healthcare will emerge as a strong private hospital group in Malaysia,” added Gan.
With more healthcare developments in the pipeline, Radium’s latest move aligns with national goals to enhance healthcare accessibility and improve the quality of life for Malaysians.
