Regional CEO of KPJ Southern Region Hospitals Azhar Abdullah said the collaboration would involve a special health package for every purchase of a housing unit developed by JLand in Perjiranan 13, Bandar Dato’ Onn, which has a gross development value of RM664.5 million.
He said this type of agreement is the first to be implemented by a private medical operator in Johor and is seen as a new benchmark, especially for all KPJ Hospitals throughout Malaysia.
“(An) estimated RM2 million worth of investment is involved in this collaboration, where three main elements will be featured from KPJ Bandar Dato’ Onn involving the use of this hospital’s medical facilities, health packages and emergency assistance,” he said in a statement today.
He said the collaboration combined elements of health and technology that are in line with the times, and residents of Perjiranan 13 would enjoy at least three added values for every purchase of a housing unit in the area.
“Among the interesting functions we like to feature is that each housing unit in Perjiranan 13 will be equipped with a panic button that can be accessed from a mobile phone.
“In the event of an emergency, the homeowner will be given exclusive treatment, including ambulance services, directly,” he said.
Azhar said the units would also be equipped with a health package that would allow the owner to receive a full health checkup every year for three years with the cost having already been paid during the house purchase.
He said this was part of KPJ’s intention to create a residential area with a complete concept, including medical facilities, while adding that the Covid-19 pandemic should serve as a warning for the community to be more sensitive to health issues.
“This health screening service includes offering blood tests, heart examinations and also consultations with specialist doctors from their home units,” he said.
Meanwhile, JLand director-in-charge Zamri Yusof said the development of residential-type properties in Perjiranan 13 covered four phases with Phase 1 – comprising 211 units of two-storey terrace residential houses – expected to be launched in July this year.
He said the development of this residential and commercial property on approximately 27.19ha of land is expected to be fully completed within the next six years.
