KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 4 — Lembaga Tabung Haji (LTH) aims to expand its shariah-compliant hospital segment nationwide in stages, as part of its real estate investments.
Chairman Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim said as such, Muslim Bumiputera doctors now have an opportunity to collaborate with it in expanding the business segment.
“The shariah-compliant hospital segment has been identified as an area which would benefit LTH depositors and provide sustainable returns.
“We will carefully review each application to open shariah-compliant hospitals, and give approvals, if it can be shown to be competitive and there is a need for one in the area concerned,” he said.
He told reporters this at a press conference after witnessing the signing ceremony for the sales and purchase of the Hospital Pakar An-Nur Hasanah in Bangi, Selangor, between LTH and Bangi Gateway Medical Sdn Bhd, as well as Medic IG Sdn Bhd here, today. — Bernama
