Since its establishment in 2012, the Paediatric & Congenital Heart Centre (PCHC) at Institut Jantung Negara (IJN) has become a beacon of hope for children with congenital and paediatric heart conditions. Renowned for its world-class expertise and compassionate approach, the centre has earned its place as a leader in paediatric cardiac care in Malaysia and beyond.
Leading the Way in Paediatric Cardiac Surgery
Between 2020 and 2024 alone, the PCHC successfully performed 6,968 congenital heart surgeries, ranging from complex neonatal procedures for low birth weight infants to advanced minimally invasive surgeries. These remarkable achievements reflect IJN’s commitment to improving survival outcomes and quality of life for even the most vulnerable patients. Every success story is a testament to the skill, dedication, and innovation of IJN’s surgical teams.
Comprehensive Interventional Cardiology
The centre’s excellence extends beyond surgery. Through its Interventional Cardiology Laboratory (ICL), IJN has completed 5,197 life-changing procedures to date. These minimally invasive interventions further demonstrate IJN’s broad capabilities, giving children access to advanced care options that are less invasive, with shorter recovery times.
A Team Dedicated to Excellence
At the heart of IJN’s success is its team of highly skilled paediatric cardiologists, surgeons, and multidisciplinary specialists, all supported by state-of-the-art facilities. By combining the latest medical technologies with a patient-centred approach, IJN ensures every child receives care that meets the highest international standards.
More Than Medicine: Compassionate Support
Healing children’s hearts goes beyond medical treatment. With initiatives like Nadi PCHC, IJN extends support to families, offering guidance, community, and reassurance throughout their journey. This holistic approach ensures parents never feel alone, while children receive not just clinical excellence but also care delivered with compassion.
