MEDICAL
INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE CLINIC OF THE YEAR IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC
LAURENT BLEU MEDICAL CLINIC
Laurent Bleu Medical Clinic describes itself as “ a harmonisation between medical and wellness , based on the philosophy that true health is the successful integration of many aspects of a person ’ s life ”.
A one-stop wellness centre based in Kuala Lumpur , it provides medical and laboratory services through a comprehensive , multidisciplinary approach . Its treatments come with state of the art , evidence-based solutions that are customised to suit the individual needs of patients .
Laurent Bleu comprises three distinct entities — a Medical Clinic , Diagnostic Services with a pathology lab , x-ray and ultrasound scanning , and Dietetic Services . These work closely together to provide a multidisciplinary approach to medical treatment and lifestyle interventions for total wellness .
Its approach resonates strongly with the World Health Organisation ’ s definition of health as “ a state of complete physical , mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity ”. It not only follows the philosophy that “ health is integrated ”, but is able to offer services that reflect this .
The clinic is headed by a team of medical doctors and supported by dedicated nursing , dietetics , technical , and administrative staff . Located at UCSI College , the clinic is open to staff at the university , students , and the general public to offer comprehensive medical services .
In addition to daily outpatient treatment , its services cover a wide

range of health screenings that include general consultations , vaccinations , medical check-ups , dressings , nebuliser treatments , blood tests , and a path lab . Its medical officers are general health practitioners who are also experts in skin science , healthy ageing , and wellness .
Laurent Bleu ’ s diagnostic services deliver a full range of diagnostics and health screening in tandem with high-tech laboratory equipment for testing , such as for pregnancy , thyroid problems , diabetes , insomnia , high cholesterol , cancer screening , and menopause .
Its dietetic services are headed by a dietitian who works closely with doctors , nurses , and lab technicians . Consultation is provided on a range of subjects from healthy eating to therapeutic diet plans .
Over the last year , the clinic has brought in COVID-19 lab facilities through the integration of shared
resources and professional expertise at UCSI , a private university also in Kuala Lumpur . Through this collaboration , the clinic has been able to offer COVID-19 tests at affordable prices .
Meanwhile , its sustainable weight management programme is unlike others in how it addresses weight issues . Taking a one-stop multidisciplinary approach , it encompasses a doctor and dietitian , as well as a health psychologist to provide a deeper insight into eating habits . It is a holistic programme that prioritises both sustainable weight loss and weight gain .
This year , the clinic , which will be rebranded as the UCSI Medical Clinic , intends to continuously assess the needs of the community to inform the direction of its expansion . It also plans to take a macro view of what Malaysia needs as a whole and how it can offer solutions across the nation .
