Construction
Sultan Idris Shah Serdang Hospital, which commenced operation on 15 December 2005, was built with the purpose of serving the roughly 570,000 population of Serdang, Putrajaya, Kajang and Bangi. It has a total area of 129,000 square metres and has 620 beds initially prior to its current expansion. The construction costs RM690 million and is one of the electronic hospital networks planned by the Malaysian Government. It was also listed as the IBS Project in Malaysia in 2005.
Design
From planning to construction, the hospital was built on the concept of 'hospital of the future'. Sultan Idris Shah Serdang Hospital is the first hospital in Malaysia to use aluminium coating to give it a shiny exterior. It is also the first hospital in Malaysia to use a futuristic cooling system to maintain the hospital temperature and reduce electricity usage.
Other unique features of this hospital are:
- Steel structure (total 6100 tonnage)
- Modular OT
- Rooftop garden (5 acres of the 45-acre (180,000 m2) total landscape area)
- Application of autoclave light concrete block (ALC)[1]
The hospital is surrounded by a park measuring 45 acres (180,000 m2). The landscape of the hospital is also known to be therapeutic to the patients.

In total, the hospital has 20 operating theatres, 19 wards and 620 beds.
