THOMSON Hospital Kota Damansara, the flagship tertiary-care healthcare provider of TMC Life Sciences Berhad, has announced the branding of Kota Damansara MRT station to MRT Kota Damansara Thomson Hospital.
This strategic initiative emphasises the importance of accessibility to quality healthcare services and underscores Thomson Hospital’s commitment to sustainable access to healthcare.
The proximity of the MRT Kota Damansara Thomson Hospital station to the hospital, directly linked with a completely shaded walkway, facilitates convenient access for patients and visitors and promotes environmental sustainability by encouraging the use of public transportation.
Deputy Health Minister Datuk Lukanisman Awang Sauni, who expressed his support for the initiative, saying, “Today’s occasion is one of great importance, as it signifies the culmination of the government’s efforts in bridging the gap between healthcare and transportation.
“Having an MRT station situated right next to a healthcare facility is a step in the right direction towards making healthcare more accessible.”
Offering access to care for over 50 specialties and sub-specialties, Thomson Hospital is a one-stop solution for tertiary care, delivering healthcare to our community tailored to their needs.
Meanwhile, TMC Life Sciences Berhad chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Mokhtar Shariff said a key element in the company’s unwavering support to excellence is ensuring that healthcare remains accessible to everyone.
“This MRT station branding represents a significant enhancement in our ability to serve both local and international patients, particularly from Indonesia, China, Bangladesh, and beyond,” he remarked.
As TMC Life Sciences charts a path towards net zero carbon emissions by 2050, the renamed MRT station will play a great role in promoting increased use of public transport to travel to the hospital.
A collaboration between Thomson Hospital Kota Damansara and Malaysia’s Mass Rapid Transit Corporation (MRT Corp), today’s event symbolises a new chapter in enhancing healthcare access for the community and underscores a shared commitment towards advancing healthcare accessibility and sustainability in Malaysia.
In pursuing greater accessibility and healthcare awareness, 10 wheelchairs and health screening packages were presented to deserving Kota Damansara community members at the event.
As part of a Community Service Initiative, Thomson Hospital worked jointly with Kota Damansara state assemblyman Muhammad Izuan Ahmad Kasim to address pressing needs of the community, contributing to accessibility of healthcare for local Damansara citizens.
This initiative was held to also celebrate Thomson’s 30 years of delivering healthcare to the community. – Aug 8, 2024
