Sunway Medical Centre and SELCARE Join Forces to Enhance Cardiac Care Accessibility in Selangor. In a landmark public-private healthcare initiative, Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway City (SMC) has officially entered into a strategic partnership with SELCARE, the healthcare operator under the Selangor State Government’s Skim Rawatan Jantung Negeri Selangor. The formal signing of this memorandum of understanding (MoU), witnessed by YB Jamaliah Jamaluddin, Selangor State Executive Councillor for Public Health and Environment, marks a major step towards improving early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease across the state, especially for individuals from vulnerable and underserved communities.
This collaboration reinforces SMC’s commitment to corporate social responsibility by combining its medical excellence with SELCARE’s strong grassroots outreach. Sunway Medical Centre, Malaysia’s largest private quaternary hospital, brings to the table its extensive cardiac expertise, advanced diagnostics, and a team of 13 adult and paediatric cardiologists. With comprehensive cardiac subspecialties and cutting-edge technology such as MRI scanners, cardiac CTs, catheterisation laboratories, and coronary care units, SMC aims to make high-quality cardiac care more accessible to those in need. Dr Seow Vei Ken, CEO of Sunway Medical Centre, expressed confidence that this partnership would positively impact the lives of Anak Selangor by offering essential heart services either free of charge or at subsidised rates.
On the other side of the partnership, SELCARE, the operational healthcare arm of Selgate Healthcare and a subsidiary of the Selangor State Government’s Selgate Corporation, continues to play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between public health policy and actual healthcare delivery. According to Dato’ Noor Hisham Mohd Ghouth, CEO of SELGATE Group, the partnership underlines SELCARE’s ongoing mission to connect policy with private sector capabilities to ensure inclusive, affordable, and effective healthcare. SELCARE currently manages key state health programmes including Iltizam Selangor Sihat (ISS), Selangor Saring, and Skim Rawatan Jantung Negeri Selangor, which collectively benefit over 600,000 people nationwide. Its network spans more than 2,000 clinics and 200 hospitals across Malaysia, reinforcing its capacity to provide healthcare access to the masses.

This strategic alliance represents a model example of how synergistic public-private partnerships can address critical healthcare challenges. It aligns state-backed welfare schemes with private sector excellence to deliver meaningful impact, especially in life-threatening areas like heart disease. It is a step forward in ensuring no Selangor resident is left behind when it comes to their health and wellbeing.
Sunway Medical Centre continues to build on its reputation as a world-class medical institution, recognised by multiple international healthcare accreditations including Joint Commission International (JCI), the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS), and the Malaysian Society for Quality in Health (MSQH). Ranked among the top 250 hospitals globally by Newsweek in 2024 and 2025, SMC is also the flagship hospital of Sunway Healthcare Group, which was recently honoured with the 2024 Sustainability & CSR Malaysia Award for Community Care and Sustainability.
Looking ahead, Selgate Healthcare is set to expand its footprint with the launch of the Selgate Group of Hospitals, starting with facilities in Rawang and Sepang in 2025. These hospitals will offer comprehensive specialty services and advanced diagnostics, forming part of a larger vision to build eight new hospitals over the next decade. This ambitious expansion, combined with its digital health innovations and integrated care network, positions SELCARE and SELGATE as transformative forces in reshaping the future of community-centered healthcare in Malaysia.
