The hospital CRC of Hospital Sultanah Aminah Johor Bahru was the second CRC to be established in the southern region of peninsular Malaysia in 2007, existing within the network of 37 CRCs within the Ministry of Health Malaysia. It was the first in the state of Johor, followed by the establishment of the CRC units of Hospital Sultan Ismail, Johor Bahru and Hospital Pakar Sultanah Fatimah, Muar in 2012 and 2015 respectively. The CRC network of Johor strives to promote the conduct of high quality and ethically responsible research within Johor. The CRC units also organise professional development courses and assist clinicians and postgraduate students in the conduct of their clinical research projects as well as provide guidance to new investigators and researchers on study design, methodology, protocol writing, statistics consultation et cetera.
