“Our investment in this new facility reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality, accessible healthcare to the community of Seremban and surrounding areas. With growing townships within a 15km radius and evolving healthcare needs, this expansion positions Columbia Asia Hospital Seremban as a one-stop specialist hub for advanced tertiary care,” said Dr. Chan Boon Kheng; Asia OneHealthcare Managing Director and Group CEO.
The upcoming 13-storey facility, spanning approximately 68,000 square meters, will integrate the hospital’s current North and South wings into a single, future-ready structure. This purpose-built expansion will boost capacity from 114 bed and 32 clinics to 347 beds and 100 clinics, supported by over 650 parking bays for the convenience of patients and visitors enhancing access to quality care for Negeri Sembilan’s 1.2 million-strong community[1].
A key highlight of the development is the introduction of an Oncology Centre, which will offer both Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy services under one roof. The hospital will also house a Dialysis Centre and be equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging capabilities, including PET-CT, to enhance precision in cancer detection and treatment planning.
Established in 1999 as one of the earliest private hospitals in the region, Columbia Asia Hospital Seremban has played a pivotal role in meeting the healthcare needs of Negeri Sembilan’s growing population. Over the past 25 years, the hospital has grown from a single building to a dual-wing facility with 114 beds and 60 consultants. The new development represents a transformative leap in scale, capability, and patient experience[2].
The construction of the new hospital building is expected to be completed by 2028, with full operations commencing in 2029.
Columbia Asia Hospital – Seremban remains steadfast in its mission to raise the standard of private healthcare, providing safe, efficient, and patient-centred services for communities in Negeri Sembilan and beyond.
