Healthcare accessibility in the rapidly evolving township of Batu Kawan takes a significant leap forward with the commencement of operations at Columbia Asia Hospital-Batu Kawan. This marks Columbia Asia’s 13th hospital in Malaysia, further strengthening its presence as a leading private healthcare provider in the country.
