About Meditek Equipment Sdn Bhd

Meditek Equipment Sdn. Bhd, incorporated in 1977, is a fully owned local company with total equity held by Bumiputra interests. It is headed by a distinguished physician with widespread industry networks and contacts. Whilst its primary focus is in the procurement and installation of medical equipment, it plays a diversity of roles in the healthcare industry including project scoping, project management and overview.

 

In the 1970s, Meditek was the pioneer to introduce the automated blood chemistry machine to the private sector. The introduction of Hycel computerized auto analyzer resulted in the cost reduction of blood tests conducted from RM15.00 to RM5.00. Since then, Meditek has been involved in the supply of medical and laboratory equipment to various government hospitals and universities throughout the country.

In 1982, Meditek Equipment Sdn. Bhd. provided the conceptual aspects of the development of the Subang Jaya Medical Centre as the first fully dedicated hospital building, the first private open heart surgery center in the country. Meditek’s duties included the coordination of the total development of this hospital. This involved the appointment of manpower (professional, semi-professional and non-professional staff) requirement, equipment development for a full-scale general hospital including facilities for open heart surgery, commissioning the whole hospital, and to engage the management team that – up to today – is still serving within the hospital. It is the first hospital that is completely computerized in terms of the financial, accounting and administrative aspects of the hospital. Meditek was also required to institute the rules and regulations necessary to preserve the relationship between the owners, the hospital and the non-equity holding specialists.

Meditek contributed to the management team for Subang Jaya Medical Center for the first two years of its existence to ensure the smooth running of the whole hospital.

Selangor Medical Centre, located in Shah Alam is owned by KOSAS and Perangsang. The original proposal to have a hospital in Shah Alam was forwarded by our Managing Director, Dato’ Dr. Amir Abbas in 1972. Meditek was involved in the project for the first three years. In 1977, a piece of land was located as a site for the hospital.

In October 1998, Meditek Equipment Sdn. Bhd. was appointed the consultant medical equipment planner and hospital planner for both Kepala Batas Hospital and Pekan Hospital. The sizes of these two hospitals are 108 beds each. Kepala Batas Hospital was successfully handed over in December 2002, and Pekan Hospital in 2007.

In the year 2002, Meditek was appointed the consultant medical equipment planner for Gua Musang Hospital. The proposal for equipment to Gua Musang Hospital has been accepted.

In 2004, the Ministry of Health awarded Meditek a request to prepare a proposal on the disposal of medical devices. The paper, titled “Guidance Notes for Disposal of Medical Devices”, was completed in December 2004.
