Sultan Idris Shah Serdang Hospital, previously known as the Serdang Hospital, is a government-funded multi-specialty tertiary district general hospital located in Sepang District, Selangor, Malaysia. The location of the hospital borders the South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE) to the east and the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and the UPM own teaching hospital to the west. It is clearly seen from the North–South Expressway at the Kajang Interchange.
Design
[edit | edit source]From planning to construction, the hospital was built on the concept of 'hospital of the future'. Sultan Idris Shah Serdang Hospital is the first hospital in Malaysia to use aluminium coating to give it a shiny exterior. It is also the first hospital in Malaysia to use a futuristic cooling system to maintain the hospital temperature and reduce electricity usage.[citation needed]
Other unique features of this hospital are:
- Steel structure (total 6100 tonnage)
- Modular OT
- Rooftop garden (5 acres of the 45-acre (180,000 m2) total landscape area)
- Application of autoclave light concrete block (ALC)[1]
The hospital is surrounded by a park measuring 45 acres (180,000 m2). The landscape of the hospital is also known to be therapeutic to the patients.
