BENCHMARKING VISIT TO SURAU AD-DEENIAH, PUSAT PERUBATAN UNIVERSITI MALAYA (PPUM)
14th April 2026 - The Department of Shariah Compliance, Sultan Ahmad Shah Medical Centre (SASMEC ) successfully conducted a benchmarking visit to Surau Ad-Deeniah at Pusat Perubatan Universiti Malaya (PPUM) on Tuesday, 14 April 2026. The visit was specifically organized to study the janazah management system implemented at PPUM, which is recognized for its systematic approach and extensive experience in handling janazah rites within a hospital setting. By observing these established procedures, the Department of Shariah Compliance delegation aimed to identify best practices and standard operating procedures that can be integrated to further enhance Shariah-compliant services at their own institution.
The delegation consisted of five members from the Department of Shariah Compliance and was led by Ustaz Abdul Rahman Al-Azmi. Upon arrival, the group was warmly received by Ustaz Mohd Shazni bin Abdullah, the Head of the Islamic Affairs Department at PPUM, alongside several other staff members.
It is hoped that the insights gained from this benchmarking visit will provide significant benefits to SASMEC as they strive to uphold the highest standards of Shariah compliance. The collaboration between the two medical centers highlights the importance of knowledge sharing in the pursuit of better service for the community.
