Nilai, 20th September 2025: Gleneagles Hospital Johor, a leading private hospital in Johor, proudly celebrates the graduation of the Diploma in Nursing students from Nilai University this September. This milestone marks the first cohort to complete their studies through the hospital’s Nursing Sponsorship Program, an initiative designed to nurture future healthcare professionals and strengthen Malaysia’s healthcare workforce.
Launched in 2022, the nursing sponsorship program underscores Gleneagles Hospital Johor’s commitment to advancing education and empowering young talents in the medical field. The initiative provides aspiring nurses with financial support, professional guidance, and career opportunities, ensuring they are well-prepared to deliver quality patient care.
The first batch of sponsored students was celebrated during Nilai University’s 26th Convocation Ceremony, graced by Chancellor YM Professor Emeritus Tengku Dato' Shamsul Bahrin and Vice-Chancellor Professor Dato' Dr Azhar Ismail. Upon graduation, these sponsored nurses will begin their careers with Gleneagles Hospital Johor, contributing to its mission of providing world-class healthcare services to the Johor community.
Under this program, selected students receive full tuition coverage, monthly allowances, and comprehensive medical benefits throughout their academic journey, enabling them to focus on academic excellence and professional growth. A key highlight of the initiative is the guaranteed employment opportunity at Gleneagles Hospital Johor upon successful completion of their studies — creating a clear and rewarding career pathway for passionate nursing graduates.
Speaking at the event, Ms. Sipika Singh, Deputy CEO of Gleneagles Hospital Johor, shared,
“As a leading healthcare provider, we believe that overcoming the nursing shortage is a shared responsibility. This programme demonstrates Gleneagles Hospital Johor’s role in complementing the government’s efforts to build a stronger and more resilient healthcare workforce in the future.”
