OUR VISION

The Preferred Healthcare Provider

Our fundamental purpose is the delivery of exceptional diagnosis, health treatment and care to all our patients.

DELIVERING WHAT MATTERS TO YOU

Our Integrated Annual Report this year, which carries the tagline, "Delivering What Matters to You," aptly sums up how the team at KPJ continues to demonstrate a spirit of excellence, going above and beyond expectations, to deliver what matters to our diverse stakeholders.

While 2021 marked KPJ's 40th year of existence as a private healthcare operator, we did not dwell on any celebratory activities given the severity of the COVID-19 challenges that we had to contend with. Instead, we commemorated the year by maintaining a laser-focus on doing what we do best - caring for life. As we worked diligently to elevate patient care, we also focused our efforts on strengthening our clinical and hospital operations, as well as continued to make fundamental changes under the first phase of the "Re-Energising KPJ" transformation programme. As a result of the concerted efforts of our team, the Group made strides forward on the pandemic-mitigation, people and performance fronts in 2021.

Today, a reinvigorated KPJ continues to grow from strength to strength and is well positioned to continue creating sustainable value as the biggest private hospital group in Malaysia by bed count capacity and as a regional healthcare player focused on delivering world-class healthcare services.

Integrated Annual Report 2021

About this Report

Welcome to KPJ Healthcare Berhad's (KPJ or the Group) Integrated Annual Report 2021. This, our fourth Integrated Annual Report, serves as a platform for us to present a comprehensive and transparent account of the Group's businesses, strategies and performance as well as demonstrate how we continue to create value for our stakeholders.

KPJ's aspiration is to be the preferred healthcare provider to our patients and we are laser-focused on achieving this via our commitment to delivering exceptional healthcare. By carefully and expertly managing patient journeys in an excellent manner as per our "Care for Life" mantra, we continue to produce quality patient outcomes as well as create a sustainable pool of returning clients. We go all out to support this commitment by bringing the appropriate resources and strategies into play, all of which are enabling us to create a sustainable business that is positioned for long-term success.

REPORTING SCOPE AND BOUNDARY This Integrated Annual Report goes beyond financial reporting to encompass our non-financial activities for the period 1 January to 31 December 2021. Building upon our previous publications, it aims to present to KPJ's stakeholders, our progress in implementing our strategies as well as the challenges, risks and opportunities that had a significant influence on our ability to create value.

This report covers the activities of the Group's operations and all its subsidiaries in locations where it operates. However, as the Malaysian operations contribute some 96% of the Group's revenue, our reporting predominantly focuses on these operations and the related activities.

REPORTING FRAMEWORKS

In line with best practices, this Report adopts the Value Reporting Foundation's (formerly known as the International Integrated Reporting Council) Integrated Reporting Framework. The Framework is a principles-based, multi-capital, framework that is used to accelerate the adoption of integratedreporting across the world. Our reporting is also aligned with the updated Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2021 (MCCG 2021) that was released in April 2021, the Main Market Listing Requirements (MMLR) of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (Bursa Securities), the Companies Act 2016 (CA 2016), and both the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS).

Sustainability-related information has been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards Core option and is closely guided by Bursa Malaysia's Sustainability Reporting Guide (2nd Edition) to fulfil Bursa's sustainability-related listing requirements and FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index criteria. We also continue to be guided by our commitment towards the United Nations' Sustainability Development Goals (UN SDGs) and report on our contributions towards specific goals.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Integrated Annual Report contains forward-looking statements with the use of words or phrases such as "might", "forecast", "anticipate", "project", "may", "believe", "predict", "expect", "continue", "will", "estimate", "target", and other similar expressions. The report may also contain forecast information about KPJ Healthcare Berhad's future direction, strategies and growth opportunities. However, due to risks and uncertainties present in our dynamic business environment and operating landscape, these forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future operating or financial results.

APPROVAL BY THE BOARD
