ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH
Baru Healthcare was created inside a clinic, not a boardroom. After three decades of frontline primary care through Klinik Tenaga Baru and Klinik Cheras Baru, we kept seeing the same pattern: by the time someone walked through our door, the damage was already done. So we built the thing that comes before the door.
We spent 30 years treating the crisis. Now we're training people to avoid it.
THE ORIGIN
For 30 years, our partner clinics, Klinik Tenaga Baru and Klinik Cheras Baru, have served families across Kuala Lumpur. Thousands of consultations. Coughs, blood pressure, diabetes, X-Rays, Rehabilitation, Mental Health Issues, stress and many more as the ordinary business of keeping a community well.
But somewhere in those thousands of visits, a pattern kept surfacing. They weren't sick. They were depleted and medicine, as it's normally practised, had almost nothing to offer them until they got sick enough to qualify for treatment. That gap — between "you're fine" and "you need psychiatric care" is where most people actually live. And it's where almost nobody was working.
Baru Healthcare exists to work in that gap.
OUR PARTNERS
Dr. Kanendra (MB BCh BAO) is a general practitioner with over nine years of clinical experience across hospital and primary care settings. He is a Certified Mental Health Practitioner and an HRD Corp Accredited Trainer.
"I trained for years to treat illness. Then I spent nine years watching people arrive too late. At some point you stop asking 'how do I treat this?' and start asking 'why did nobody train them before this happened?'" — Dr. Kanendra
His approach is deliberately un-clinical in delivery. Sessions are interactive and conversational, built on real clinical cases and real human stories rather than slides full of theory. Participants don't leave with notes they'll never re-read, they leave with a personal SWOT, a 30-Day Mental Fitness Journal, and a 90-Day Action Plan they can actually run.
The clinician's rigour — a real medical baseline, not motivational guesswork
The trainer's accessibility — HRD Corp accredited, corporate-floor tested
The practitioner's honesty — he'll tell you when something is beyond training and needs clinical care
He continues to practise in primary care while delivering corporate training programmes across Malaysia. That's deliberate. He still sees patients because he refuses to teach from theory.
