Sunway Medical Centre in Sunway City has raised the bar for paediatric care with Malaysia’s first private Children’s Emergency Department, offering expat families peace of mind with specialised facilities and expert support.
Relocating with your family is a major life event, and for many expats, especially those with young children, access to reliable, international-standard healthcare is a top priority. Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway City has set a new benchmark in paediatric care with Malaysia’s first private Children’s Emergency Department, revolutionising healthcare options for families living in or moving to Malaysia.
But the innovation doesn’t stop at emergency care. Sunway’s comprehensive Children’s Health & Development Centre provides one of the region’s most extensive child-focused healthcare hubs, offering long-term developmental, medical, and parental support services – all conveniently located under one roof.
MALAYSIA’S FIRST DEDICATED CHILDREN’S EMERGENCY UNIT
Opened in May 2023, the Children’s Emergency Department is housed in Tower D of Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway City. Unlike general emergency rooms, this facility is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of paediatric patients.
Key features include:
- Three zones (Green, Yellow, Red) structured by severity, with the Red Zone fully equipped for resuscitation and critical care.
- Asthma and respiratory bays, with specialised rooms for nebuliser therapy and observation.
- A paediatric-trained medical team of doctors and nurses.
- A dedicated paediatric radiology department with child-sized CT, X-ray, ultrasound and MRI equipment.
- Specialised resuscitation equipment tailored for infants and children.
HOW THE CHILDREN’S HEALTH & DEVELOPMENT CENTRE ENHANCES CARE
As Malaysia’s largest private quaternary hospital, Sunway Medical Centre offers comprehensive, compassionate care for children through a team of consultants across 26 subspecialties. The Children’s Health & Development Centre integrates services ranging from emergency care to long-term developmental support.
Highlights include outpatient clinics with multiple paediatric subspecialties, a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with cutting-edge treatments, paediatric oncology services, and the Children’s Development Department (CDD). The latter provides assessment and therapy for children with developmental delays, learning disabilities, and behavioural challenges, supported by unique facilities such as a TRoom and a Sensory Gym.
WHY THIS MATTERS FOR EXPAT FAMILIES
For expat families in Malaysia, Sunway’s Children’s Emergency Department offers a level of specialised care unmatched by general emergency facilities. With rapid access to diagnostics, trained paediatricians, and intensive care, treatment is faster and more coordinated. Combined with the broader Children’s Health & Development Centre, families gain continuity of care – from routine check-ups to emergencies – ensuring children are supported at every stage.
