Malaysia-based KPJ Healthcare Berhad has launched its first Neuroscience and Stroke Centre of Excellence (CoE) at Damansara Specialist Hospital 2 (DSH2), marking the second Centre of Excellence established under the KPJ Health System (KPJHS) and expanding the Group's specialised capability in complex neurological and stroke care.
The establishment of the Neuroscience and Stroke CoE advances KPJHS by extending structured clinical pathways into high-acuity specialties that require rapid coordination across emergency care, imaging, intensive care and rehabilitation. This development reflects the Group's continued focus on strengthening specialised services while maintaining consistent standards of care across its network.
The Centre brings together multidisciplinary teams across neurology, neurosurgery, emergency medicine, radiology, intensive care and rehabilitation within a coordinated system designed for neurological emergencies. This integrated model enables faster decision-making, timely intervention and continuity of care throughout the critical stages of stroke treatment and recovery.
The CoE framework serves as a reference model for neuro and stroke service development across the KPJ network. Beyond clinical services, the Centre supports structured education and training initiatives and contributes to clinical research in neurology and stroke management under KPJHS. The launch forms part of KPJ Healthcare's roadmap to establish 15 Centres of Excellence by 2030 under KPJHS.
