Sunway Medical Centre And Selcare Team Up To Deliver Heart Health Services In Selangor
06 May 2025
The Selangor state government recently witnessed the formalisation of a strategic collaboration between Sunway Medical Centre (SMC) and Selcare, the appointed programme operator under Skim Rawatan Jantung Negeri Selangor.
The occasion was graced by Jamaliah Jamaluddin, Selangor State Executive Councillor for Public Health and Environment. This partnership is set to enhance early diagnosis, screening and treatment for heart disease across the state, particularly for eligible individuals from vulnerable communities.
The signing of this memorandum of understanding underscores SMC’s dedication to corporate social responsibility initiatives by synergising its commitment with Selcare to advance public health through early intervention and accessible cardiac care.
Selcare, the health care arm of the Selangor state government and part of the Selgate Group, has long been instrumental in delivering affordable and inclusive health care to underserved populations.
Through this collaboration, SMC aims to strengthen public health by supporting accessible and quality health care, while Selcare will continue to bridge the gap between policy and medical services, facilitating access to high-quality care for communities who may face financial or logistical barriers.
Partnering with SMC, Malaysia’s largest private quaternary hospital marks a significant milestone in ensuring the reach and impact of Skim Rawatan Jantung Negeri Selangor.
By combining Selcare’s deep grassroots engagement with SMC’s world-class expertise, the initiative promises to bring real change in the lives of Anak Selangor with services delivered at no cost or highly subsidised rates.
“Sunway Medical Centre has always been dedicated to providing the highest standard of patient care,” said Dr Seow Vei Ken, SMC chief executive officer.
“We are proud of our 28 Centres of Excellence, including our renowned Heart, Lung and Vascular Centre, and our commitment to leveraging the latest medical technologies and expert health care professionals to serve our community.
“We have 13 cardiologists, covering both adult and paediatric care, and offer a comprehensive range of cardiology subspecialties while supported by full diagnostic centre with state-of-the-art facilities which includes the latest MRI scanners, cardiac CTs, catheterisation laboratory, and coronary care beds.
“This partnership with Selcare reflects our ongoing commitment to enhancing health care accessibility and delivering high-quality care to underserved communities, in line with our CSR initiatives.
“We are excited to see the positive impact this programme will have on the lives of Anak Selangor especially those who need it most.”
“We are proud to partner with Sunway Medical Centre in making cardiac care more accessible to those who need it most,” said Noor Hisham Mohd Ghouth, SELGATE Group CEO.
“This partnership highlights Selcare’s enduring mission: to connect public health policy with private sector strength, ensuring that no one in Selangor is left behind when it comes to their heart health.”
Selcare Management, a key subsidiary of Selgate Healthcare, currently administers flagship programmes such as Iltizam Selangor Sihat (ISS), Selangor Saring and Skim Rawatan Jantung Negeri Selangor, collectively benefitting more than 600,000 individuals and households nationwide.
Leveraging a network of over 2,000 clinics and 200 hospitals across the country, Selcare ensures that health care remains accessible, affordable and people-first.
This initiative stands as a powerful example of how public-private collaborations can bridge critical health care gaps.
By aligning state-backed welfare programmes with private sector excellence, this partnership sets a benchmark for future efforts in ensuring inclusive, sustainable health care access across Selangor.
