Sunway Medical Centre triumphs as global elite

Sunway Medical Centre (SMC) cements its status as a healthcare titan, leaping from 233rd to 193rd in Newsweek’s World’s Best Hospitals 2025 rankings.

It stands unrivalled among Malaysian hospitals, a feat driven by relentless excellence. This isn’t a fluke—it’s a showcase of top-tier care in Sunway City, answering the call for world-class medical options with gusto.

SMC joins the likes of Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins in the global top 250.

“This reflects our unwavering dedication,” declares Dato’ Lau Beng Long, President of Sunway Healthcare Group.

With 28 Centres of Excellence and 810 beds, Sunway Medical Centre blends cutting-edge treatment with a human touch, proving it’s a leader, not a follower.

What fuels Sunway Medical Centre’s rise?

Sunway Medical Centre earns its stripes through results. Newsweek’s rigorous survey—tapping doctors, patients, and managers—places it among 2,400 contenders worldwide.

It also boasts Malaysia’s first triple accreditation: JCI, ACHS, and MSQH. Hip surgery ranks sixth in Asia, eye surgery hits top three. This signals “premier healthcare in Malaysia” done right.

A powerhouse team drives the success. Specialists, nurses, and allied professionals collaborate seamlessly, tackling everything from knee replacements to cataracts.

Dato’ Lau’s recognition as a top CEO in Newsweek’s 2024 list underscores strong leadership.

Recent X posts highlight SMC’s efficiency—eye clinic wait times have shrunk, delighting patients and proving operational flair.

How Sunway Medical Centre redefines care

Innovation runs deep at Sunway Medical Centre. Offering 60+ specialities, it tailors healthcare to individual needs within a holistic framework.

The 2025 Newsweek jump reflects glowing patient feedback and solid quality metrics. Shared spaces feel warm, not sterile, fostering trust. That’s the edge—care that prioritises people over process.

Moreover, SMC pioneers progress. Its Asia rankings—second for cataracts, sixth for knees—build on two years in Newsweek’s Best Specialist Hospitals list.

“We aim to elevate healthcare standards,” Dato’ Lau asserts. The evidence backs it: triple accreditation and a climb to 193rd globally.

For “Sunway Medical Centre’s winning edge,” this is the benchmark.

Sunway Medical Centre doesn’t just lead Malaysia—it shines worldwide. From Newsweek’s acclaim to its state-of-the-art facilities, SMC fuses expertise with compassion.

Ranked 193rd globally and first at home, it delivers for hip fixes or eye ops alike. This is healthcare at its peak—bold, precise, and utterly dependable.
