History

In 1996, UPM established its Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, prompting plans for a nearby teaching hospital. Due to differing goals between UPM and the Ministry of Health (KKM), Serdang Hospital became a public hospital under KKM rather than a UPM teaching facility. On 14 October 2011, UPM Vice-Chancellor Radin Umar Radin Sohadi proposed collaboration with KKM to the Cabinet to support teaching, research, and clinical services. After discussions, UPM opted to build a teaching hospital as a complement to Serdang Hospital, focusing on stroke, prostate, geriatric, and zoonotic care. [1] Construction began on 27 October 2014 and finished on 15 March 2019, costing RM 582,227,497.73, far exceeding the initial RM 488 million estimate. [2] On 28 February 2023, Sharafuddin of Selangor officially opened the hospital, naming it after UPM's first Chancellor, Salahuddin of Selangor. [1]

Role as PPV

During the COVID-19 pandemic, HSAAS served as a vaccination center (PPV) in Selangor. [3]
