Aligns with a Global Push

August 12, 2024, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur (PHKL) has officially introduced its Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) program, aligning with a global push for cost-effective and safe transitional care for patients requiring long-term intravenous (IV) antibiotics.

OPAT is a safe and cost-effective transitional care option for patients who require IV antibiotics for extended periods. This approach allows patients to receive treatment in the comfort of their own homes, reducing the need for prolonged hospital stays and associated costs.

For five decades, PHKL has been the heartbeat of Kuala Lumpur, steadfastly providing exceptional healthcare services to the community. The introduction of OPAT is a testament to the hospital's commitment to innovation and patient-centered care.

The OPAT program at PHKL is fully compliant with international standards and protocols, ensuring the highest level of patient safety and efficacy. The hospital has invested in state-of-the-art equipment and trained a team of experienced healthcare professionals to manage and monitor patients on OPAT.

The global push for OPAT is driven by a desire to reduce healthcare costs, improve patient outcomes, and enhance the quality of life for patients who require long-term IV antibiotics. PHKL's introduction of OPAT aligns with this global trend and further positions the hospital as a leader in innovative healthcare solutions.
