Overview

About KPJ Sabah.

KPJ Sabah Specialist Hospital is a private multidisciplinary specialist hospital located in Luyang, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. Part of KPJ Healthcare Berhad, the hospital began operations in 2014 and has developed into a 282-bed facility providing specialist medical, surgical and diagnostic care for patients in Kota Kinabalu and across Sabah.

The hospital has established strengths in oncology, cardiology and orthopaedic care, supported by a broad range of specialist disciplines. Its services include cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, orthopaedic and trauma surgery, oncology, nephrology, neuroscience and stroke, gastroenterology and hepatology, ENT, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics and other medical and surgical specialties.

Cardiac care is an important part of KPJ Sabah's clinical offering. The hospital is equipped with a cardiac catheterisation laboratory and dedicated cardiothoracic operating facilities, supporting specialist assessment and treatment for cardiovascular conditions. Its oncology services include radiation treatment supported by a linear accelerator, alongside other cancer care services. Orthopaedic services cover musculoskeletal conditions, injuries and surgical care, while specialist departments provide additional support for neurological, kidney, digestive, women's and children's health.

KPJ Sabah Specialist Hospital also serves patients seeking specialist treatment in Kota Kinabalu from outside the immediate area. Its combination of cardiac, oncology and orthopaedic services, together with a wider multidisciplinary offering, makes it a significant private specialist healthcare option in Sabah.

I had a great experience with Dr. Mary J today. She is incredibly kind, detailed, and has such a positive, happy energy that immediately makes you feel comfortable. Even though I had a long wait time, she personally apologized and treated me with patience and genuine kindness the entire time. I came in for a gynecology consultation, and she took the time to go through my medical history carefully and explain everything clearly. I really appreciate her thorough approach and the way she listened to my concerns. I would definitely recommend Dr. Mary J to anyone looking for a compassionate and attentive specialist. She truly cares about her patients.

Initially, I was receiving treatment at another medical center before I decided to tranfer to KPJ Sabah Specialist Hospital. I was under the care of Dr. Noraidah and her two assistants Ms Rozezina & Ms Yolinda and they were extremely caring and attentive. I felt very comfortable and was able to openly discuss all of my health concerns without hesitation. They truly listened and explained everything clearly. Alhamdulillah, after the surgery and the follow-up treatments, my condition has significantly improved and everything is back to normal. I am very grateful for the professionalism, compassion, and excellent care provided. Highly recommended.

My husband was admitted to KPJ Sabah on 16 May. He was diagnosed with a stroke on his right cerebellum. Subsequently he has to do physio for recovery. I really want to thank the physio department in KPJ Sabah. They are the superb team led by Mr Lee and his physio Zul and Abby. They are so patient and encouraging also determined to help my husband in his recovery. Mr Lee has assured us to trust them and work hard in the first 6 months. My husband will be back to full recover. On 21 May, my husband can’t even stand and walk properly even with assistive device to support him. On 29 May, he was trained to walk on parallel walking bars. On 11/6 he has tried to walk with no support at all. Now he is moving around like normal people. Physio KPJ Sabah has been doing a really fantastic job. For anyone is looking for physio, KPJ Sabah Physio is highly recommended. They are very professional and the centre is well equipped too. Also want to thank the medical team in hospital especially Dr Bharathan. He has been always contactable whenever we need advice. Truly appreciate his care n concern. Keep up the good work. Thanks

My daughter’s first admission at KPJ – truly a great experience! From the admission process to discharge, everything was smooth and fast. The staff and nurses at the paediatric ward were so helpful, kind, and friendly 💖 And the food? Honestly, I loved it! Delicious and way better than I expected for hospital meals. My daughter was admitted to another private hospital in KK last year, but unfortunately the experience and hospitality there were quite disappointing 🥹 So grateful for how well everything went this time. And also thanks to Dr. Joanne Lee for your clear explanations, patience, and genuine care throughout my daughter’s stay. We truly appreciate your professionalism and kindness 🙏🏼
