Sunway Medical Centre boosts heart care access

Sunway Medical Centre, Malaysia’s leading private quaternary hospital, has joined forces with SELCARE to transform cardiac care under the Skim Rawatan Jantung Negeri Selangor.

This partnership, formalized through a memorandum of understanding (MoU), prioritizes early diagnosis, screening, and treatment for heart disease, targeting vulnerable communities.

Graced by Jamaliah Jamaluddin, Selangor State Executive Councillor for Public Health, the collaboration leverages Sunway Medical Centre’s expertise and SELCARE’s outreach to deliver free or subsidised care, ensuring no Anak Selangor is left behind.

This initiative empowers Selangor residents with accessible, high-quality heart care, fostering healthier communities.

Sunway Medical Centre’s cardiac excellence

Sunway Medical Centre drives this partnership with its renowned Heart, Lung & Vascular Centre, one of 28 Centres of Excellence.

“We are dedicated to providing top patient care,” said Dr Seow Vei Ken, CEO of Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway City.

“Our 13 cardiologists and advanced facilities, like MRI scanners and cardiac CTs, enhance accessibility for underserved communities.”

The hospital’s comprehensive cardiology services cover adult and paediatric care, supported by a state-of-the-art diagnostic centre.

Its catheterisation laboratory and coronary care beds ensure cutting-edge treatment.

Moreover, Sunway Medical Centre’s commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) shines through, aligning with SELCARE’s mission to bridge healthcare gaps.

This collaboration amplifies the Skim Rawatan Jantung Negeri Selangor, offering free or subsidized services.

Consequently, vulnerable residents gain access to life-saving screenings and treatments.

The partnership builds on Sunway Medical Centre’s reputation for excellence, ensuring impactful outcomes for Anak Selangor.

Furthermore, the MoU signing, attended by state officials, underscores the initiative’s significance.

By combining private-sector expertise with public health goals, Sunway Medical Centre sets a new standard for inclusive care.

SELCARE’s role in community health

SELCARE, under the SELGATE Group, strengthens this partnership with its extensive healthcare network.

“We are proud to partner with Sunway Medical Centre,” said Dato’ Noor Hisham Mohd Ghouth, SELGATE Group CEO.

“This highlights SELCARE’s mission to connect policy with private-sector strength.”

SELCARE administers key programmes like Iltizam Selangor Sihat and Selangor Saring, benefiting over 600,000 individuals.

Additionally, SELCARE’s grassroots engagement complements Sunway Medical Centre’s medical prowess.

Together, they tackle financial and logistical barriers, ensuring underserved communities receive timely care.

This public-private collaboration sets a benchmark for healthcare equity. By aligning state welfare with Sunway Medical Centre’s advanced facilities, the partnership addresses critical gaps.
