We sincerely welcome all distinguished guests, speakers, participants, and sponsors to this prestigious event hosted by Hospital Sultan Zainal Abidin (HoSZA) in collaboration with the Consortium of University Hospitals Malaysia. This symposium brings together healthcare professionals, medical educators, researchers, and technology experts who share a common purpose: to explore the extraordinary potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in transforming our teaching hospitals. In all trajectories all os us stand at the threshold of a new era, where digital transformation is not just an enhancement, but a necessity in redefining how we teach, learn, heal, lead and thus more important live.
AI is definitely an important component of SCRIPT (S=Sustainable, C=Caring and Compassionate, R=Respect, I=Innovation, P=Prosperity and T=Trust) rapidly changing the landscape of our nation, Malaysia especially healthcare. Its integration into clinical practice, hospital management, and medical education is unlocking new possibilities from predictive analytics and diagnostic precision to robotic-assisted procedures and personalized learning for medical trainees. These innovations offer us the tools to meet the evolving needs of our patients and communities with greater compassion, accuracy, and efficiency. What makes this year’s symposium especially meaningful is its expansion to the international stage. By opening our doors to global participation, we create a vibrant space for cross-border collaboration where insights, ideas, and breakthroughs flow freely between institutions and experts from all corners of the world. This global perspective will enrich our shared mission and inspire new partnerships in healthcare transformation.
Let this symposium be more than a platform for discussion, let it be a launchpad for action. I encourage all of you to engage fully, exchange boldly, and collaborate meaningfully. Together, we can harness the power of AI to revolutionize healthcare delivery, elevate medical education, and shape a more resilient, innovative, and human-centered future for our teaching hospitals.
Thank you once again for your presence. Let us make this a memorable and transformative experience for all.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t, Selamat Sejahtera dan Salam Madani.
On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my great pleasure to welcome all participants to the KHUAM Symposium 2025. This year’s theme, “Revolutionizing Healthcare Through Digital Transformation: Innovations, Challenges and Opportunities”, sets the stage for an exciting and insightful event, bringing together some of the brightest minds in healthcare, academia, and technology.
As the chair of this symposium, I am excited to see how this platform will foster meaningful exchanges and collaborations among healthcare professionals, educators, researchers, and AI experts. Our aim is to explore how AI can be harnessed to drive innovation, enhance clinical practices, improve hospital management, and revolutionise medical education at our teaching hospitals.
The integration of AI into healthcare is more than just a technological evolution—it is a necessary step towards addressing the growing demands of modern healthcare. From predictive analytics and decision support systems to personalised medicine and robotic surgery, AI offers endless possibilities for improving patient care and operational efficiency.
Throughout this symposium, I encourage you all to actively engage in the discussions, share your insights, and build connections with fellow professionals. Together, we can create a future where AI empowers teaching hospitals to deliver even higher standards of care, education, and research. I look forward to a productive and inspiring symposium, and I am confident that the outcomes from this event will continue to shape the future of healthcare in Malaysia.
Thank you and welcome once again.
