With a rapidly ageing population and longer life expectancy, access to basic medical services and support is the foundation for building a vibrant and well-balanced society. This has inspired “Sunsuria Care”, a collaborative platform for Sunsuria Berhad’s community driven initiatives. Sunsuria Care Hub is one of the first initiatives with the aim to provide access to basic healthcare, starting with residents of Sunsuria City.

The common concerns among Malaysians boiled down to three things: housing, geriatric care, and the rising cost of healthcare. To help mitigate some of these concerns, Sunsuria Berhad provides accessibility to basic healthcare needs that is people centric. Hence, making basic medical support and services an integral part of the community service framework. This holistic and proactive approach strengthens the community resident’s health, making the community care service system the first line of defence in protecting public health.

Sunsuria Berhad’s commitment to create a sustainable multigenerational living environment is based on the philosophy of “Building Today, Creating Tomorrow”. This means building a well-balanced, integrated township where the residents and businesses thrive in an active, vibrant, and healthy environment.

Healthcare services within reach

Sunsuria Berhad is proud to launch the Care Hub where the underlying foundation is to create a living environment that aims at integrating healthcare access for Sunsuria’s multigenerational residents. This is the first-of-its-kind comprehensive platform rolled out by Sunsuria Berhad. The platform bridges the gap between the suburban community’s need for healthcare support that are integrated with rapid urban development. Sunsuria Berhad rolled out the maiden project in the company’s flagship development Sunsuria City, a township that spans across 525 acres of land, servicing its community.

Opened daily, including weekends and public holidays, the Sunsuria Care Hub will be managed by a doctor, assisted by two trained nurses. The trained nurses are stationed to provide complimentary first-aid assistance, vital sign check-ups and general health advice. When needed, Sunsuria City’s community could engage the nurses for home care nursing services at a minimal fee. The care hub’s nurses will facilitate the township’s residents in obtaining basic health advice services either face-to-face or via phone call and WhatsApp. 

Medical equipment such as vital sign detector, wheelchairs, crutches, walkers, glucometers, breast pump, etc. are also available for short or long-term rent. The nursing staff will also guide and educate the users on the correct usage of the equipment and monitor the progress of their health at an affordable rate. The aim is to help families reduce their basic healthcare expenses and support the needs of the different generations within Sunsuria City.

The Sunsuria Care Hub will also host health talks and workshops facilitated by doctors and certified professionals on common health topics, as well as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid demonstrations.

The service is expected to expand into medical clinics by the end of 2023 to provide Sunsuria City’s residents access to primary healthcare support.

The nurses at the community nursing station are ever ready to provide health assessments and relevant advice to the community.

A solid assurance in caring for the people’s health

Tan Sri Ter Leong Yap, Executive Chairman of Sunsuria Berhad, Audrey Ooi, Chief Executive Officer of Sunsuria Healthcare, and Dr. Diana Tan, the Director of Sunsuria Care Hub jointly presided over the launch ceremony of the nursing station earlier, marking a new milestone where the Company leads a new era in the healthcare industry.

Sunsuria Berhad will be adding senior-friendly amenities such as designated nursing rooms in common areas, nursing care suites, and wheelchair-friendly features, i.e., mini-ramps, stretcher lifts, wider doorways, and bathroom grab bars in future developments. The group hopes that the products and services provided will be inclusive, accessible, and convenient while catering to the needs of the community.
