PJSC proudly announced the official launch of the state-of-the-art Prosthetic and Orthotic Unit on Saturday, 3rd August 2024. The momentous occasion was graced by The Guest of Honour, Yang Berhormat Dato Seri Setia Dr Haji Md Isham bin Haji Jaafar, Minister of Health and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of PJSC.

The ceremony began with the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah and Doa Selamat, followed by a welcoming speech by Dr Abang Haji Muhammad Fahmy bin Abang Haji Hepnie, the Head of Department and Consultant for Rehabilitation Medicine.

The Prosthetic and Orthotic Unit specialises in providing patients with customised and ready-made medical devices and external supports, particularly lower limb prostheses and orthoses (e.g., braces, splints, insoles, footwear, helmets). These devices are designed to maximise or restore patients’ functional mobility in their everyday lives. The unit is fully equipped with a Casting Room, Modification Room, Plastic Fabrication Room, Machine Room, Technicians’ Workshop, Training Studio, and Assessment Rooms. Complementing the facility are Certified Prosthetists and Orthotists (CPOs) and technicians who form part of a multidisciplinary team. They work closely with doctors, nurses, and other allied health professionals to help patients achieve their functional and quality of life goals. Conditions treated include cerebral palsy, limb amputation, stroke, and spinal cord injury, among others.

This new unit represents a significant advancement in our commitment to providing exceptional rehabilitative services. Our aim is to enhance the quality of life for individuals requiring prosthetic limbs and orthotic support through cutting-edge technology and personalized care.
