Sunway Medical Centre (SMC) in Sunway City just made history, snagging Hospital of the Year – Malaysia at the Healthcare Asia Awards 2026 for the fifth year in a row.
And that’s not all, the hospital also bagged Smart Hospital Initiative of the Year – Malaysia, recognising its cutting-edge use of digital tech to make healthcare smoother, faster, and more patient-friendly.
With over 300 resident consultants across 80 specialties and 28 Centres of Excellence, SMC isn’t just resting on its laurels.
Every patient gets a treatment plan tailored just for them, proving that SMC knows healthcare is personal.
Tech That Feels Like the Future
SMC is turning medical care into a tech-savvy experience. In 2025, it introduced Malaysia’s first Photon-Counting CT System, delivering ultra-high-resolution scans across a wide range of medical needs.
Meanwhile, its AiBLE™ Spine Surgical Suite is taking robotic spine surgery to the next level, supporting minimally invasive procedures not just in Malaysia, but across Southeast Asia.
Dr Seow Vei Ken, CEO of SMC, says the awards are proof of their mission:
“We are committed to advancing healthcare through innovation, clinical excellence, and better patient outcomes. Cutting-edge digital solutions aren’t just gadgets; they help us give world-class care every step of the way.”
Growing Bigger, Better, and Smarter
SMC isn’t slowing down. Its sixth block, Tower F (Children’s Pavilion), will increase the hospital’s capacity to over 1,000 beds.
The expanded facility will be supported by a multidisciplinary team dedicated to delivering personalised, holistic care.
Add to those three major international accreditations:
- JCI
- ACHS International
- MSQH
And it’s clear that SMC is a trendsetter in healthcare.
The hospital is already topping global charts: ranked among Newsweek’s World’s Best Hospitals 2026, Asia’s #1 for cataract surgery, and a top contender in ophthalmology and orthopaedics.
With a lifestyle-friendly approach to health and innovation at every corner, SMC is proving that world-class healthcare can feel as exciting as your favorite lifestyle upgrade.
