In 2003, the Haemodialysis Centre was inaugurated, marking a significant milestone in our healthcare services, with the appointment of a Resident Nephrologist, Dr. Ng Yew Sang. Over the years, the center has grown exponentially, catering to the needs of an increasing number of patients.

 

Currently, the Haemodialysis Centre serves a thriving community of patients, offering vital renal care and support. With 23 chairs now available, the center operates across three shifts to accommodate the demand for treatment. Throughout its journey, the center has been blessed with dedicated staff members, including our beloved Sr. Patricia, who began her tenure as a staff nurse and has now ascended to the role of manager in the HDC. Her steadfast leadership and unwavering dedication have played a pivotal role in the center’s growth and success, ensuring that it continues to uphold the highest standards of care for its patients.

On November 27th, 1983, my 41-year journey with Fatimah Hospital began, shaping my life profoundly. It felt like stepping into a second home in the Maternity Ward, where warmth and camaraderie defined my daily existence. The Our Lady Sisters, my compassionate mentors, guided me professionally and bestowed invaluable life lessons. Over the years, Fatimah Hospital wove a tapestry of dedication, compassion, and shared commitment to others’ well-being.

 

As I stand on the brink of retirement, the echoes of four decades resound within me. This journey was more than a career; it was a beautiful tapestry of unforgettable moments. Fatimah Hospital holds a special place in my heart, and bidding farewell is a mix of gratitude and nostalgia. Reflecting on this transformative journey, I am grateful for the positive and challenging experiences that molded me into a better person. With heartfelt appreciation, I wish Fatimah Hospital continued success in its mission to provide compassionate healthcare.

 

May laughter echo through its walls, and may the bonds among colleagues and with patients remain as resilient as ever.

It has been a great pleasure being a member of the ‘Fatimah Family’ over the last quarter of century, witnessing its growth into a renowned tertiary referral medical Centre in the state of Perak. I am grateful to have opportunities to work with a group of caring, dedicated consultants and supportive hospital staff.

 

We work, we sweat, we stress, we laugh, we play, we enjoy together, and we support each other. We are not just co-workers, but brothers-sisters, and best friends forever.

 

Happy 50th anniversary to our unique boutique hospital called ‘Fatimah’

“It would be very difficult for me to leave MY Hospital Fatimah, but the time will come one day.” These were his words penned down in the 40th Anniversary magazine of Hospital Fatimah.

 

“I will serve MY Hospital Fatimah till I can, till my last breath, and see it celebrating its 50 years.”

 

As he is no longer in our presence, I am very sure he is IMMENSELY PROUD and HAPPY TO SEE ‘HIS’ HOSPITAL FATIMAH has grown up BEAUTIFULLY to half a century. Looking back to his first day joining and his last days with Hospital Fatimah, ‘his’ dedication and passion for the hospital have never ever PAUSED or STOPPED.

 

Happy memories, supportive friendships, and enduring relationships have made him journey through years of togetherness with Hospital Fatimah. Each moment in Hospital Fatimah is very precious to him. It is a great honour to be a part of Hospital Fatimah and to be given this recognition. Happy 50th Anniversary Hospital Fatimah, and may you continue to grow and succeed in the future. Thank you, BROTHERS OF MERCY, THE MANAGEMENT, DOCTORS, AND STAFF FOR MAKING ME A PART OF HOSPITAL FATIMAH.

“Hospital Fatimah is indeed a very special place to me. I have many fond memories of the Hospital. Firstly, because I was born here in hospital four years after it was established. Secondly, I used to live right behind the hospital here in Jalan Carlos, Ipoh. Thirdly, my mum used to be a staff in this Hospital many years ago. So, I have had many memories of this place”
