Mawar Medical Center Achieves Significant Financial Milestone Post-Reopening
Mawar Medical Center (MMC) has marked a major milestone in the institution’s journey since reopening in September 2019, successfully achieving a net profit of RM4.34 million for the fiscal year (FY) 2025.
Speaking at the hospital’s annual general meeting, chairman Datuk Seri Lee Tian Hock emphasized the stable financial progress and reported a significant increase in revenue.
The hospital’s total revenue grew impressively by 11.8%, climbing to RM80.7 million from the RM72.2 million recorded in the previous fiscal year.
This robust financial performance is a clear and strong indicator of the center’s expanding patient base and its continuous, successful efforts to enhance and diversify its service offerings.
Average monthly revenue also saw a very healthy year-on-year increase, rising to RM6.7 million from RM6.0 million in FY2024, confirming the consistency of the growth.
This steady financial expansion is directly attributable to the hospital’s increased operational capacity, which has dramatically grown from just 28 beds when it reopened in 2019 to 97 licensed beds, with an average of 84 operational beds used throughout FY2025.
The combination of an expanded bed capacity, increased patient confidence, and a growing portfolio of specialist services underscores the successful turnaround of the Mawar Medical Center and its solidification as a key private healthcare provider in the region.
Prudent Management and Strategic Investments in Clinical Excellence
Despite a slight dip in the overall gross profit margin due to rising operational costs, Mawar Medical Center demonstrated prudent financial management by significantly reducing its debt while strategically reinvesting millions in advanced medical technology and critical infrastructure.
While the hospital’s overall gross profit saw a minor increase to RM35.2 million, the corresponding gross profit margin experienced a modest decline from 47.9% to 43.6%.
This drop was primarily attributed to the natural rise in operational costs common across the healthcare sector.
In terms of financial management efficiency, the hospital’s operating profit, excluding management fees, fell by 9.4% to RM12.6 million.
However, a major highlight of the fiscal year was the hospital’s successful debt reduction effort: the debt owed to Matrix Medicare Sdn Bhd was substantially cut from RM22.0 million to RM12.7 million, showcasing a very prudent and responsible approach to long-term debt management and financial stability.
Crucially, these financial adjustments did not compromise the hospital’s unwavering commitment to providing high-quality care.
A significant portion of the Mawar Medical Center FY25 profit was strategically channeled back into the institution, with RM9.4 million invested directly toward modernizing infrastructure and acquiring advanced medical equipment.
The hospital’s clinical staff expanded to include 25 resident consultants and 41 visiting consultants, who collectively support 18 specialist outpatient clinics.
These expanded services now include vital new disciplines such as medical oncology, neurology, and gastroenterology, further broadening the hospital’s clinical reach.
Pioneering Procedures, Staff Welfare, and Community Support
Mawar Medical Center cemented its reputation as a leader in medical innovation in FY2025 by introducing several groundbreaking procedures that were regional or national firsts, simultaneously prioritizing staff welfare and community commitment.
In FY2025, Mawar Medical Center solidified its position as a leader in medical innovation by introducing several procedures that were firsts either nationally or regionally.
These groundbreaking medical procedures include intravascular ultrasound and intravascular lithotripsy for advanced, minimally invasive cardiac treatment, as well as the cutting-edge use of the Cori Robotic System for robotic-assisted total knee replacement surgeries.
Furthermore, the hospital successfully performed multiple cases of advanced endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and transoral outlet reduction for post-bariatric patients, showcasing surgical versatility.
These clinical achievements have deservedly earned the hospital several prestigious awards, including the “Best Private Hospital” title in Negeri Sembilan and specific accolades for the excellence of its cardiology and orthopaedic departments.
Beyond clinical success, Mawar Medical Center demonstrated a strong commitment to staff welfare and social responsibility.
A total of RM3.06 million was awarded to employees as performance bonuses, with salary increments of up to 5.28% granted to 291 employees.
The hospital also demonstrated its deep community commitment by disbursing RM906,000 in welfare subsidies specifically for underprivileged patients and reinvesting a surplus of RM183,700 to provide financial support for its 167 dialysis patients, reinforcing its foundational role in public health and social support within the community.
Ambitious Future Expansion and Facility Enhancement Plans
Looking forward to FY2026, Mawar Medical Center has detailed an ambitious and significant expansion plan aimed at further increasing capacity and launching specialized facilities to serve its growing patient demographic and enhance overall care quality.
The strategic plan for the upcoming fiscal year includes the addition of 12 new inpatient beds and 16 new daycare beds, substantially boosting the hospital’s capacity to manage both short-stay and complex patient care needs.
Critically, the plan also features the construction of a new hybrid operating theatre, a third conventional operating theatre, and the introduction of 13 new specialist clinics to further broaden the clinical scope.
Mawar Medical Center is also planning to launch a dedicated Health Screening Centre, a specialized facility designed to expand its service offerings toward preventive care and early detection for the surrounding community.
These aggressive expansions are strategically designed not only to comfortably accommodate the growing patient base but also to continually enhance the quality, efficiency, and breadth of care provided.
The hospital has already completed several key infrastructure upgrades, including the opening of a 13-room First Floor Specialist Clinic and a new 12-bed Dahlia Ward on the second floor.
Recognizing that staff satisfaction is directly linked to patient care quality, the center has also invested in new amenities for its employees, such as a dedicated gymnasium and a doctors’ lounge, ensuring that the well-being and support of its expert clinical team remain central to delivering exceptional patient care and sustained institutional success.
