KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 (Bernama) -- Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway City (SMC) retained its top spot for paediatrics in Malaysia for three years in a row, according to the latest Best Specialised Hospitals Asia Pacific (APAC) Newsweek 2025 rankings.
SMC, in a statement today, said the country's largest private quaternary hospital ranks 30th for paediatrics and is also featured in the top 75 APAC hospitals for neurology, neurosurgery, cardiology, cardiac surgery, oncology and orthopaedics.
President of Sunway Healthcare Group Datuk Lau Beng Long expressed pride for the continued recognition of its healthcare in the region, especially SMC's paediatrics being the top in Malaysia.
He said SMC's Children's Health and Development Centre offers the most comprehensive paediatric subspecialties among hospitals in Malaysia, with 26 subspecialties and 50 consultants.
He added that the hospital also pioneered the nation's first private hospital 24-hour standalone Children's Emergency Department, operating separately from the adult Accident & Emergency Department, serving as a one-stop centre that offers urgent, comforting care for infants, children and adolescents.
'The hospital also excels in exceptional niche paediatric expertise, including haematology, gastroenterology, oncology and transplant medicine. Sunway Medical Centre became the first private hospital in Malaysia to successfully perform a paediatric kidney transplant, yet another testament to its drive for clinical excellence.
'In addition, the hospital continuously enhances the depth and breadth of its other major adult clinical disciplines like cardiology, oncology, neurology, gastroenterology and orthopaedic surgery,' he said.
Meanwhile, SMC Chief Executive Officer Dr Seow Vei Ken said the recognition reaffirms the hospital's commitment to clinical excellence and patient-centred care, especially paediatric services.
'Sunway Medical Centre continues to be at the forefront as Malaysia's top private paediatric service provider, offering a comprehensive ecosystem of specialised care for children,' he said.
