# Sunway Medical Centre Damansara Marks New Chapter in Specialist and International Patient Care - Link: https://www.thailand-business-news.com/pr-news/sunway-medical-centre-damansara-marks-new-chapter-in-specialist-and-international-patient-care - Published: 2026-10-09T07:30:00+07:00 - Author: Media OutReach KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – [Media OutReach Newswire](https://www.media-outreach.com/)– 9 October 2026 – Sunway Medical Centre Damansara (SMCD), the fourth tertiary hospital under Sunway Healthcare Group (SHG), celebrated its Official Launch Ceremony on 1 October 2026, marking a significant milestone since commencing operations in December 2024. Strategically located in Kota Damansara, SMCD serves communities across the Klang Valley, with a greater focus on the northern, northwestern and western regions. The hospital was established to bring high-quality specialist healthcare closer to these growing communities, while also serving local patients, expatriates and international health tourists seeking care in Malaysia. Officiating the ceremony, the Chief Minister of Selangor YAB Dato’ Seri Amirudin bin Shari, said that the establishment of private hospitals such as SMCD supports the state’s Rancangan Selangor Kedua (RS-2) development plans to build a state that is caring, livable, sustainable and resilient. “The healthcare needs of our population are becoming more complex. An ageing population, the growing burden of non-communicable diseases and increasing demand for specialized care require us to continuously strengthen the capacity and capabilities of our healthcare system. For this reason, the State Government welcomes investments that strengthen healthcare capacity and increase accessibility to quality healthcare,” he said. Speaking at the ceremony, Dato’ Lau Beng Long, President of Sunway Healthcare Group, said, “Sunway Medical Centre Damansara brings together a comprehensive range of specialties and subspecialties, supported by advanced diagnostic and therapeutic medical technologies, including AI-enabled and robotic-assisted solutions. As the hospital continues to grow, we are focused on deepening these capabilities and strengthening multidisciplinary care, so that patients can access more complex treatments closer to home. “Looking ahead, we are evaluating the next phase of SMCD’s development, with approximately four acres earmarked for future expansion. Our proposed plans include a standalone Sunway Sanctuary focused on senior living and a dedicated Cancer and Nuclear Medicine Centre. “The proposed Cancer and Nuclear Medicine Centre is envisioned to incorporate advanced diagnostic and treatment capabilities, including a cyclotron, PET-CT, linear accelerators and CT simulator, as well as Proton Beam Therapy Centre, which would be the first of its kind in Malaysia. These proposed plans reflect our long-term vision to develop SMCD into a more comprehensive healthcare destination, bringing advanced and specialised care for Malaysians and international patients.” Beyond strengthening its clinical capabilities, SMCD continues to improve accessibility and convenience for the surrounding community. The new ramp connecting Persiaran Surian to Jalan PJU 5/1 provides more direct access to SMCD and Bandar Sunway Damansara. Meanwhile, a link bridge to Sunway Nexis connects patients, visitors and the surrounding community to Surian MRT station, as well as nearby retail, dining and lifestyle amenities, complementing the hospital’s broader efforts to bring advanced healthcare closer to the communities it serves. In line with Malaysia’s growing healthcare tourism economy, SMCD is also well positioned to serve medical tourists by virtue of its location within an integrated township, giving patients and accompanying family members convenient access to various amenities. Its connectivity further supports international access, with Subang Airport located nearby and KLIA accessible via a direct drive along the North-South Expressway. The hospital’s International Patient Centre supports patients throughout their healthcare journey, with dedicated nurses and translators assisting with specialist appointments, treatment coordination, admissions and communication. SMCD also serves the expatriate community living and working in Malaysia, providing access to specialist care, preventive health services, advanced surgery, rehabilitation and multidisciplinary treatment within the Klang Valley. Reflecting on the hospital’s journey, Jasmine Lau Mooi Hun, Chief Executive Officer of SMCD, said, “In a relatively short period, SMCD has grown tremendously in both the breadth of services we provide and the trust that patients, partners and the wider community have placed in us. “This progress reflects the dedication of our people and the support of our healthcare partners and stakeholders. As we enter our next phase of growth, we remain committed to strengthening our capabilities, enhancing the patient experience and making comprehensive specialist care more accessible to the communities we serve.” SMCD achieved its first EBITDA-positive month within nine months of commencing operations, reflecting its strong operational performance and clinical capabilities, and significantly outperforming the industry’s typical ramp-up period of three to five years. Building on this strong foundation, SMCD will continue to expand its continuum of care. The hospital will be complemented by ambulatory services at Sunway Specialist Centre Damansara, located across the road, and the planned opening of the Sunway Traditional Chinese Medicine Centre in the first quarter of 2027. Together, these services will form a more holistic and integrated healthcare ecosystem, while SMCD continues to strengthen the quality, efficiency and coordination of care to deliver better health outcomes.
