Mount Miriam Cancer Hospital
Construction of Mount Miriam Hospital started and the building was completed
1974 with total cost of RM2.5 million. The site adjacent to present College
General (Major Seminary) was cleared for the project. Funds were raised
through donation drives, well wishers and the public at large.
The first patient admitted to the Hospital was on the 1st June 1976. For the
first 3 years, Mount Miriam Hospital admitted a few general medical patients
but was otherwise exclusively concerned with terminally ill cancer patients.
New oncology clinics were set up in 2010. First case of Positron Emission
Tomography (PET-CT) was done on 8th October 2010. It is a medical imaging
device which combines in a single gantry system both a Positron Emission
Tomography (PET) and an x-ray Computed Tomography, so that images acquired
from both devices can be taken sequentially, in the same session from the
patient and combined into a single superposed image.
Mount Miriam Cancer Hospital has added SRS & SRT to its array of
radiotherapy treatments. This breakthrough in technology uses a highly
focused beam of X-ray radiation. It is designed to benefit brain tumour
patients and those with a variety of nonmalignant brain diseases. The
medical team, which comprises of a Radiation Oncologist, Neurosurgeon,
Medical Physicist, Therapy Radiographer and nurses will provide the best
course of treatment needed.
