Gleneagles Medical Centre

The Gleneagles Medical Centre is a 360-bed private hospital in the city of George Town in Penang, Malaysia. Founded in 1973 as the Penang Medical Centre, it was renamed after its acquisition by Parkway Pantai, a Singapore-based healthcare conglomerate. The hospital now consists of a 19-storey annexe, along with its original six-storey building.
History.
The Penang Medical Centre was established in 1973 and was originally a three-storey hospital with 70 beds. It was the brainchild of local, Penang-born tycoons, including Loh Boon Siew, who persuaded senior consultants from the Penang General Hospital to start a new private hospital.
The hospital was subsequently expanded to six floors in 1977. In 1989, Parkway Pantai, a Singapore-listed healthcare firm, acquired the majority control of the hospital, which was then renamed the Gleneagles Medical Centre. The hospital was expanded once again in 2013, with the completion of a 19-storey annexe.
