Johor Bahru, 8th March 2025 – Gleneagles Hospital Johor proudly celebrates a significant achievement in 2024, having successfully restored mobility to thousands of patients through its comprehensive orthopaedic care services. This milestone reflects the hospital’s dedication to delivering world-class treatment and innovative surgical solutions.
Central to this achievement is the hospital’s success in performing over 200 robotic knee replacement surgeries. This advanced procedure has set a new benchmark in orthopaedic care, offering patients improved surgical precision, reduced pain, and faster recovery times. As a result, Gleneagles Hospital Johor has become a trusted destination for patients seeking effective mobility solutions.
With the increasing demand for orthopaedic services, particularly from patients in Indonesia, notably Batam, the hospital has seen a growing influx of international cases. The introduction of robotic knee replacement surgery has been a key driver in attracting patients seeking minimally invasive solutions with quicker recovery outcomes.
To accommodate this rising demand, both locally and internationally, Gleneagles Hospital Johor is set to expand its services with the launch of a new ward equipped with dedicated rehabilitation facilities. This expansion reflects the hospital’s proactive approach to ensuring patients receive comprehensive care throughout their recovery journey.
Speaking on this achievement, Dr. Kamal Amzan, CEO of Gleneagles Hospital Johor and Regional CEO (Southern & Eastern) of IHH MY, said:
"Our success in restoring mobility to thousands of patients reflects not only the dedication of our orthopaedic team but also the remarkable collaboration across departments. Our integration of AI-driven imaging in radiology, the adoption of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols in anaesthesiology, and the unwavering support from our nursing and rehabilitation teams have all played a crucial role in achieving better surgical outcomes. As we expand with a new ward and enhanced rehab facilities, we remain committed to providing exceptional care to meet the growing demand both locally and internationally."
Dr. Manamohan, speaking on behalf of the Orthopaedic Department at Gleneagles Hospital Johor, added:
"This milestone is a proud moment for our entire team. The success of our robotic knee replacement programme is the result of strong collaboration with key departments. Our partnership with radiology for precise imaging, the anaesthesiology team’s commitment to ERAS for improved recovery, and the dedicated care from our nursing and rehabilitation teams have all contributed to delivering positive patient outcomes. With the upcoming expansion of our facilities, we are prepared to continue providing advanced orthopaedic care to improve the lives of even more patients."
With these achievements and expansion plans, Gleneagles Hospital Johor continues to reinforce its position as a regional leader in orthopaedic care, dedicated to advancing healthcare standards and improving patient well-being.
