Columbia Asia Hospital Cheras Officially Launches New Wing to Strengthen Community Healthcare
Cheras, Malaysia, 22 April 2026 – Columbia Asia Hospital Cheras (CAHC), a member of Asia OneHealthcare, officially unveiled its new wing with expanded facilities today, marking an important milestone in its efforts to meet growing healthcare needs in Cheras and surrounding communities through greater capacity, enhanced facilities, and broader specialist care.
The launch was officiated by YB Dato’ Hajjah Hanifah Hajar Taib, Deputy Health Minister, underscoring the importance of continued efforts to strengthen healthcare access and capacity in rapidly growing urban communities. Also present at the event were Puan Engku Marina Engku Hatim, CAHC’s Regional Chief Executive Officer, and Dr Chan Boon Kheng, Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer of Asia OneHealthcare.
The expansion comes at a time when population growth, ageing demographics, and increasingly complex health conditions are placing greater demand on healthcare systems, particularly in fast-developing urban areas such as Cheras and its surrounding townships.
“In a fast-growing community like Cheras, timely access to quality healthcare matters more than ever. This expansion is not just about increasing capacity, but about strengthening our ability to respond to more complex healthcare needs, support earlier intervention, and deliver better outcomes for the communities we serve,” said Puan Engku Marina.
To meet these evolving needs, the hospital has introduced a brand-new four-storey block with three additional basement levels, designed to complement its existing facilities and improve patient access and flow. With this expansion, the hospital’s capacity has increased from 78 to 180 beds, including 3 additional isolation beds, 56 additional single rooms and 8 beds in Ambulatory Surgical Care Unit. Specialist clinics have expanded, alongside a dedicated Health Screening Centre to support preventive health and early detection, significantly enhancing its ability to serve communities across Cheras Selatan, Balakong, Sungai Long, Kajang, Seri Kembangan, Serdang, Putrajaya, and Cyberjaya. A Dialysis Centre is also in development and is expected to commence operations by the end of 2026.
The expansion further strengthens the hospital’s clinical capabilities with the introduction of high-demand subspecialties such Neurosurgery, Gynae-Oncology, Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Hand and Microsurgery, Orthopaedic Trauma, Breast and Endocrine Surgery, reflecting the growing need for more specialised and comprehensive care within the community.
As Columbia Asia marks 30 years in Malaysia, the expansion of Columbia Asia Hospital Cheras reflects a broader journey of growth, service, and continued investment in community healthcare. Over the years, Columbia Asia has expanded its footprint and capabilities across the country while also strengthening efforts in preventive care, health awareness, and community outreach.
As we mark 30 years of serving communities across Malaysia, this expansion reflects how Columbia Asia continues to evolve to meet changing healthcare needs. It is not just an investment in infrastructure, but a long-term commitment to keeping quality and trusted care accessible for the communities we serve,” said Dr Chan Boon Kheng, Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer of Asia OneHealthcare.
With this expansion, Columbia Asia Hospital Cheras reinforces its role as a trusted healthcare provider in the Klang Valley, supporting individuals, families, and businesses with accessible, high-quality care closer to home.
Columbia Asia Hospital Cheras is located at Lot 33105 & Lot 33106, Jalan Dutamas 1 & Jalan Suakasih, 43200 Cheras, Selangor.
