This centre represents a substantial investment from EW's founders, Prof. Dato' Sri Dr. Mike Chan and Prof. Dato' Sri Dr. Michelle Wong.
Thoughtfully designed, it seamlessly integrates advanced medical science with the therapeutic benefits of Sabah's natural environment, setting a new standard in global healthcare.
Hajiji commended the vision and dedication of the founders, emphasising the center's role in enhancing Sabah's healthcare capabilities and positioning the region as a premier destination for medical wellness tourism.
"This facility is a game-changer for Sabah, merging state-of-the-art medical science with our unique natural environment," said Hajiji adding that it not only strengthens the local healthcare sector but also elevates Sabah's status on the global medical tourism map.
The centre's inauguration aligns strategically with Sabah's broader ambitions to become a leading hub for advanced healthcare and medical wellness tourism.
Sabah's advantageous location in Southeast Asia, as part of the BIMP-EAGA and ASEAN regions, provides a significant edge in attracting international investment and talent.
"We are positioning Sabah at the forefront of the global health and wellness revolution. This investment underscores our commitment to enhancing the quality of life and fostering international collaboration in medical innovation," Hajiji said.

Expanding access and reducing costs are crucial steps toward making these transformative treatments available to a wider population," he noted.
Dr. Khalid further acknowledged Sabah's potential as a global medical wellness tourism destination, praising its blend of high-quality medical facilities and the region's stunning natural beauty.
The center will offer an extensive range of services, including over 60 advanced regenerative medicine and holistic wellness therapies.
