History. JSEDC commenced its operations in August 1970, with the appointment of Othman bin Mohd Saat, the then Chief Minister of Johor, as its chairman and Basir Bin Ismail as its chief executive. Its first office was located at Level 2, Sultan Ibrahim Building, Johor Bahru, with two staff.
Besides offering modern medical services, he said that there will also be “traditional and alternative treatments like Ayurveda and acupuncture by international brand operators, besides providing various healthcare facilities.”
“We expect the clientele for the medical suites will comprise locals, Asean nationalities particularly Singapore and Indonesia, and those from the Middle East as well as China, Korea and Japan. The medical suites are expected to boost the service sector, particularly the medical tourism sector, in tandem with the state government’s aspiration to transform the state of Johor into a regional medical hub,” Kamaruzzaman said.
Also present at the event was Johor Chief Minister Datuk Mohamed Khaled Nordin.
“This strategic development is important as Johor Baru has experienced a major population increase, which has spurred a major economic growth. The existence of the IIBD in the city will enhance the standard of living of the local community,” Khaled said.
