Penang Adventist Hospital (PAH), a premier healthcare institution with a century-long legacy of excellence, has once again been recognized for its commitment to holistic and high-quality medical care. Newsweek, in collaboration with global data firm Statista, has named PAH among Asia’s top private hospitals for 2025, reinforcing its standing as a leader in specialized healthcare.
The prestigious ranking acknowledges hospitals that provide exceptional patient care, particularly in knee and hip surgeries, shoulder procedures, and cataract and refractive eye surgeries. The selection process involved stringent criteria, including recommendations from healthcare professionals, accreditations and certifications, and patient-reported outcomes.
PAH, a flagship Adventist healthcare institution in Malaysia, attributes its success not only to medical expertise and advanced technology but also to its commitment to a patient-centered, holistic approach to healing.
Rooted in the values of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, PAH believes that true healthcare goes beyond physical treatment, addressing the emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being of every patient.
This recognition comes as PAH celebrates its 100th anniversary, marking a century of dedicated service to the community. In consonance with its commitment to excellence and innovation, PAH recently unveiled its most ambitious project yet—a state-of-the-art 19-story tower block. This expansion will significantly increase its capacity with additional beds and advanced medical facilities, ensuring that PAH continues to provide world-class care while meeting the evolving healthcare needs of the region.
“This recognition isn’t just about our medical excellence—it’s about the compassion that drives us, the innovation that fuels us, and the trust that keeps us going,” PAH shared in a social media post, expressing gratitude to patients, healthcare professionals, and the wider community for their continued support.
This marks another milestone for PAH, which was previously recognized by Newsweek in 2024 as one of the Best Specialized Hospitals in the Asia-Pacific region for orthopedics. As part of its mission, the hospital continues to provide world-class medical care while upholding Christian principles of service, integrity, and healing.
PAH remains committed to advancing healthcare in Asia by blending medical innovation with faith-driven service, ensuring that every patient experiences not just treatment but whole-person healing.
