Island Medical City, a proposed RM2 billion medical facilities development by Island Hospital in Penang. Located along Peel Avenue, this development will focus on medical tourism that has a projection of a 30 per cent annual growth.

This will be the first-of-its-kind medical hub in Malaysia and it will have the most advanced tertiary care facility with multiple specialities including oncology, orthopaedics, neurosciences and geriatrics.

Long-term phases of the project will include constructing more medical suites, other ancillary facilities, and eventually expanding its capacity to 1,000 hospital beds.

Along with the expansion, the development plans for the site included the following:

• Parcel 1: One block of 12-storey hospital with 2 level of basement carpark. An underground linkway will connect the new building to the existing hospital across the road.
• Parcel 2 : One block of 36-storey medical suite (380 units) with multi-level car parking bays.
• Parcel 3 : One block of 33-storey hotel with 440 bedrooms.
