Ipoh, 2 May 2024 – KPJ Ipoh Specialist Hospital ("KPJ Ipoh”) has reached a key milestone with over 100 robotic-assisted total knee
replacement surgeries successfully completed since the introduction of the technology in August 2024. The achievement underscores
the hospital’s growing focus on integrating technology to support surgical precision and planning in orthopaedic care.

Chin Keat Chyuan, President and Managing Director of KPJ Healthcare said, “Crossing the 100-surgery mark in just seven months
reflects the strong capabilities of our team at KPJ Ipoh and the growing confidence in robotic-assisted procedures. I extend my
congratulations to the entire team for their dedication in reaching this important milestone. This achievement reflects their determination
to push the boundaries of innovation in patient care and it also supports our ongoing efforts to develop the KPJ Health System — a more
connected, future-ready model that brings together care, research and education to deliver better value for patients.”

The robotic system, known as CUVIS, is used globally in total knee replacement ("TKR”) procedures. It supports surgeons by generating a
3D simulation for pre-surgical planning and assists in achieving improved alignment during surgery. At KPJ Ipoh, the system is operated by
consultant orthopaedic surgeons with specialised training in robotic-assisted techniques.

"We still rely on surgical expertise, but digital tools allow us to plan and execute procedures with greater consistency. This milestone
reflects the role of robotic-assisted systems in supporting precision and improving the surgical experience for both surgeons and
patients,” added Dr Luis Chen Shian Liang, Medical Director of KPJ Ipoh.

Osteoarthritis remains one of the most common causes of joint-related pain in Malaysia, especially among older adults. For patients with
advanced cases where conservative treatment is no longer effective, TKR is often recommended. Robotic-assisted tools are increasingly
used to complement existing surgical methods.
