Gleneagles Medical Centre (Penang) - Hospital Of Choice & The first private hospital in Penang Island

The Haematology, Oncology & Transplant Centre was set-up because of an urgent need to provide a proper facility for patients that have serious blood disorders or cancers to receive treatment in an environment as friendly, conducive and pleasant as possible, while minimizing the time in hospital and being more cost effective.

We believe in providing a friendly, conducive, pleasant and peaceful environment for the safe administration of treatment for cancer patients and patients with blood disorders. With such a facility, many patients do not require admission for chemotherapy.

As cost of care increases due to medications and treatments which are expensive, we hope to be able to contain the cost by providing day care facility which minimizes admissions. This in turn allows patients to spend quality time at home and minimum time in hospital.

The Haematology, Oncology & Transplant Centre is located on the 4th floor in GMC. This location allows an excellent view of Penang from its windows, which gives it an ambience of its own. The treatment area is purposefully designed to be as cosy and friendly as possible, a look alike of your sitting room. With television, music and a nice aquarium to keep patients occupied while on treatment. Furnished with 4 sophisticated recliners, the centre offers a pampered comfortable environment for patients to relax while having their treatment.
