CMH Specialist Hospital to undergo major expansion works
NSCMA president Datuk Seri Lee Tian Hock said the project will cost over RM100 million
THE NEGRI Sembilan Chinese Maternity Association (NSCMA) will embark on a major expansion project to enhance the physical capacity of the hospital and elevate the quality of care and service provided.
NSCMA president Datuk Seri Lee Tian Hock said the project will cost over RM100 million and involves 5.14 acres of the hospital area in Seremban.
He said it will be carried out in five strategic phases to ensure a seamless transition while minimising disruptions to ongoing medical services.
"A critical part of this expansion is the new multi-storey car park, which will cover 0.42 acres or around 1,700 square metre.
"The new multi-storey car park will offer 310 parking spaces across 6 floors with total built up area of 9,800 square metres. "This will significantly enhance our parking capacity. Once both the new car park and the medical block are fully constructed, the total number of parking spaces available will increase to 447," he said.
"The car park construction, with an estimated cost of RM10 million, is expected to be completed by October 2025," he said.
He said the expansion is strategically planned in five key phases to ensure a smooth progression and minimal disruption to our daily operations.
After the car park’s completion, he said Block A and C will be demolished to make space for new buildings, followed by essential infrastructure work to support this growth.
"Next, we will begin constructing the new Medical Block, which will include additional patient beds and clinics, before completing the final phase of renovating the entrance to Block B, improving both functionality and accessibility.
"During the construction period, traffic adjustments will be implemented to facilitate the project. From March 1, 2025, to April 30, 2025, the left entrance road will be temporarily closed, with hospital access diverted to the right entrance. Normal traffic flow will resume on May 1, 2025," he said.
Lee added that the expansion is a vital step toward ensuring that the hospital continues to provide the best possible care to the broader community.
"Together, we are building a stronger, healthier future for our patients and our community," he added. – February 17, 2025
