WhoWe Are

Clinical Research Centre Hospital Rehabilitasi Cheras (CRC HRC) was initially established in 2015. Back then it was called Unit Penyelidikan HRC. It was later officially inaugurated by Datuk Dr Shahnaz Binti Murad, former Deputy Director General of Health (Research and Technical Support) on 18th August 2017. Now it houses several dedicated staff members from various medical field and research expertise. CRC Hospital Rehabilitasi Cheras is part of 37 network of CRC across Malaysia which sits under the Institute of Clinical Research (ICR). We actively assist investigators in both Investigator Initiated Research (IIR) and Industry Sponsored Research (ISR), focusing more on rehabilitation medicine. We conduct Research Consultation Clinic (RCC) throughout the year to help researchers with their projects. We also provide research-related training to healthcare staff and researchers from multiple institutions. Since its establishment, CRC HRC has assisted in almost 200 research projects in Hospital Rehabilitasi Cheras.
