KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Oct 1 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KPJ Healthcare Berhad (“KPJ Healthcare”), Malaysia’s largest private healthcare provider, has entered into a strategic partnership with NetSfere, a global provider of secure enterprise messaging and collaboration solutions, to roll out an encrypted communication platform across its network of 30 hospitals nationwide.

Under this partnership, NetSfere will provide KPJ Healthcare with a secure, compliant and centrally managed communication platform to safeguard sensitive information while enabling seamless collaboration among healthcare professionals. The platform offers end-to-end encryption, voice and video calls, secure file sharing and advanced IT administration controls to support compliance with Malaysia’s Personal Data Protection Act (“PDPA”) and healthcare industry standards.

Hosted on Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) in Malaysia, NetSfere ensures data sovereignty while offering real-time crisis alerting, centralised IT governance and full auditability. The platform includes Net-C, an AI assistant that enables clinicians and hospital staff to securely access workflows and information in real time, enhancing productivity and improving patient outcomes. All data is securely retained within Malaysia, supporting compliance with the Malaysian Society for Quality in Health (“MSQH”) and Joint Commission International (“JCI”) standards.

The solution was first introduced at KPJ Pasir Gudang Specialist Hospital in March 2024, followed by Johor Specialist Hospital and Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital. Early adoption at these hospitals has demonstrated strong uptake and clear improvements in secure clinical communications. NetSfere will continue to expand across the Group, supporting doctors, nurses, clinical teams, and hospital management in delivering care more efficiently and safely.

Chin Keat Chyuan, President and Managing Director of KPJ Healthcare said, “This partnership with NetSfere strengthens how our people connect and work together, as well as protects the trust our patients place in us. It gives our teams a secure platform to communicate and collaborate while ensuring the highest standards of data privacy. By strengthening this capability across our network, we are building the digital foundations that will enable safer, smarter care as we advance the KPJ Health System.”

“We’re thrilled to bring NetSfere to all 30 KPJ hospitals to give patients and staff the peace of mind that they are protected,” said Anurag Lai, CEO and President of NetSfere. “Our platform was built to exceed international benchmarks for security, compliance and communication excellence. In today’s healthcare environment, protective IT governance is not just a technology choice, it’s a clinical imperative.”

This partnership underscores KPJ Healthcare’s commitment to advancing innovation under the KPJ Health System, which integrates clinical, education and research to deliver better value and outcomes for patients while elevating Malaysia’s private healthcare landscape.
