Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC) has been honoured in Newsweek’s Best Specialised Hospitals Asia-Pacific 2024, cementing its position as a leading tertiary hospital in Malaysia.

SJMC received accolades across seven key specialties: Paediatrics, Orthopaedics, Cardiac Surgery, Endocrinology, Neurology, Oncology, and Cardiology.

Leading specialised care in Asia-Pacific

For the second consecutive year, SJMC ranked among the top 50 hospitals in Asia-Pacific for Orthopaedics, and Paediatrics. Additionally, Endocrinology, Oncology and Neurology remain steadfast in the listing with improved rankings this year.

The hospital also made its mark in Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery as newly recognised specialties.

“We are deeply honoured by this recognition and to establish ourselves as a leading authority in healthcare, shaping best practices and advancing patient care,” said Bryan Lin, SJMC Chief Executive Officer.

“This achievement is a testament to our exceptional team, who are dedicated, compassionate and committed to our patients and our communities.”

The Asia-Pacific region, home to over 4 billion people, is experiencing a growing demand for healthcare, particularly specialised care.

With the proportion of individuals over 60 projected to surpass a quarter of the population by 2050, the region has become a global leader in healthcare investment.

In response, SJMC offers a comprehensive range of specialised services, ensuring patients have access to top-tier expertise.

Renowned for its clinical outcomes, the hospital adopts a holistic and person-centred approach to patient care.

SJMC pioneering medical achievements

Since its inception in 1985, SJMC has earned a reputation as a trusted tertiary hospital in Malaysia, with its cancer centre certified by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards International (ACHSI).

The hospital has pioneered several medical milestones, including Malaysia’s first open-heart surgery, stem cell and paediatric liver transplants, adult and paediatric bone marrow transplants, and brain neurosurgery.

In 2021, SJMC performed the country’s first total knee replacement daycare surgery.

Earlier this year, SJMC was ranked third in Newsweek’s World’s Best Hospitals 2024 – Malaysia.

The ranking process involved over 8,000 medical experts, including doctors, hospital managers, and other healthcare professionals, who participated in surveys to recommend and assess hospitals in their specialisations.

The Best Specialised Hospitals Asia-Pacific 2024 ranking evaluated more than 3,000 hospitals, honouring the best in the region across multiple specialties.
