    Sunway Medical Centre Maintains Its Position as Malaysia’s Leading Paediatrics Provider for Third Consecutive Year in Latest Newsweek APAC Rankings

    Sunway Medical Centre Retains Malaysia’s Top Spot in Paediatrics for Third Consecutive Year in Newsweek’s APAC Rankings. Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway City (SMC), Malaysia’s largest private quaternary hospital, has once again secured the nation’s top ranking in Paediatrics for the third consecutive year, according to the prestigious Newsweek Best Specialized Hospitals Asia Pacific (APAC) 2025 rankings. Additionally, SMC has earned a spot among the top 30 hospitals in the Asia Pacific region for Paediatrics and has also ranked in the top 75 hospitals for six other key specialties—Neurology, Neurosurgery, Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, Oncology, and Orthopaedics.

    Dato’ Lau Beng Long, President of Sunway Healthcare Group, expressed pride in the hospital’s continued recognition for clinical excellence, particularly in paediatric care. He highlighted the hospital’s Children’s Health and Development Centre, which hosts the most extensive range of paediatric subspecialties in Malaysia—offering 26 subspecialties supported by 50 experienced consultants. A notable milestone is SMC’s launch of Malaysia’s first private hospital 24-hour standalone Children’s Emergency Department, designed as a dedicated, comforting space for children, separate from the adult emergency unit.

    Further cementing its leadership in specialised care, SMC is also known for its advanced paediatric services in areas such as haematology, gastroenterology, oncology, and transplant medicine. It was the first private hospital in Malaysia to successfully perform a paediatric kidney transplant, reinforcing its pioneering role in complex treatments. Dato’ Lau also noted that SMC continues to strengthen its adult specialties, including cardiology, oncology, neurology, gastroenterology, and orthopaedic surgery.

    Dr. Seow Vei Ken, Chief Executive Officer of Sunway Medical Centre, said the recognition underscores the hospital’s commitment to clinical excellence and patient-focused care, especially in paediatrics. He highlighted the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) as a key component of SMC’s paediatric ecosystem, featuring 17 fully equipped beds, 24/7 care by three paediatric intensivists, and a team of highly trained nurses to manage complex cases across various medical and surgical needs.

    As the flagship hospital of the Sunway Healthcare Group, SMC is home to over 300 resident medical consultants across 60 medical specialties and 28 Centres of Excellence. With the upcoming completion of its sixth building, Tower F (Children’s Pavilion), SMC will expand its capacity to more than 1,100 beds—further reinforcing its role as a leading healthcare provider in the region.

    This latest achievement adds to SMC’s growing list of accolades, including its recent recognition as Malaysia’s top hospital and one of the world’s top 250 hospitals in the World’s Best Hospitals 2025 ranking by Newsweek. It also claimed the Hospital of the Year (Malaysia) title at the Healthcare Asia Awards 2025—an honour it has received for four consecutive years.

    These consistent recognitions solidify Sunway Medical Centre’s status as a regional healthcare leader, driven by a mission to deliver world-class, compassionate care across all stages of life.

    Sunway Medical Centre and Selcare Forge Strategic Alliance to Provide Critical Heart Health Services in Selangor

    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.
