A medical graduate from the University College of Dublin with a Master in Public Health from the University of Liverpool, Dr Kamal Amzan has always been passionate about hospital management, particularly in the areas of governance, quality and standard of care.

He has held multiple senior leadership roles within IHH Healthcare Malaysia, including Head of Medical Affairs and Quality, Chief Operating Officer of Gleneagles Hospital Kuala Lumpur and Pantai Hospital BatuPahat, and Chief Executive Officer of Gleneagles Hospital Johor. In January 2024, he was appointed Regional Chief Executive Officer for IHH Healthcare Malaysia’s Southern and Eastern hospitals, overseeing five institutions across the region. As of August 2025, he serves as the Chief Executive Officer of IHH Healthcare Malaysia, overseeing a network of 18 hospitals nationwide.

Dr Kamal believes that influencing people and empowering them are prerequisites to a sustainable change. Going by the philosophy, “Something well done is better than something well said”, he is in the industry playing the “infinite” game and advocates the creation of a culture that is value driven to advance, enhance and improve the standards of care.

He currently serves on the board of the Association of Private Hospitals Malaysia (APHM), where his role involves shaping national healthcare policies and advancing private sector standards. He is also the author of Weathering the Storm, a book that chronicles how Gleneagles Hospital Johor navigated the COVID-19 pandemic to protect patients and staff.
