Evolving from being a household name in the country to international recognition
IJN was part of the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital until September 1992, when we were corporatised and established as a separate and specialist entity committed to delivering the most advanced standards in cardiovascular and thoracic medicine for adult and paediatric heart patients. IJN has since gained wider recognition as the leading cardiovascular and thoracic health center in the region as the rising number of referrals for complicated and demanding cases. Today we are an integrated one-stop center offering comprehensive cardiac services under one roof.
