Medical centre recognised for excellence in oncology care


SJMC is the first private medical centre in Asia-Pacific to receive ACHSI’s Centre of Excellence in Malaysia certification for its oncology services.

SUBANG Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC) is the first private medical centre in Asia-Pacific to be certified as a Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Malaysia for its oncology services.

It received its certification from The Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) International.

SJMC was assessed on patient care, care services, performance improvement, corporate management systems, workforce systems and creating a safe environment, among others.

In a congratulatory video message to SJMC, ACHS International chief executive officer Karen Luxford said, “We know that you aim to deliver high quality best practice care and that your strategic objective is to achieve this by undertaking and participating in a range of external accreditation programmes.

“SJMC was assessed recently against the ACHS International Centre of Excellence, starting with the oncology services which were chosen first to be formally assessed.

“You are the first ACHS International member to achieve Centre of Excellence certification for your oncology services.

“Well done and congratulations!”

SJMC chief executive officer Bryan Lin said, “Successfully attaining this international recognition ensures that patients can place their trust in a healthcare provider that meets stringent safety and quality standards for patient care and overall well-being.

“Our cancer care performance results consistently mirror the standards upheld by leading centres in developed countries.

“For example, we are proud of our remarkable internationally published five-year survival rate for patients with Stage 1 breast cancer and Stage 1 nasopharyngeal cancer at 100% respectively.”

He said cancer treatment should be approached holistically.

SJMC Cancer and Radiosurgery Centre director Catherine Lee said, “SJMC’s Oncology services are at the forefront of regional cancer care.

“Our dedicated team of oncologists, haematologists, radiologists, surgeons and other specialists work together to provide a multidisciplinary and integrated approach to cancer treatment.

“We use the latest cutting-edge technologies, to offer our patients the best possible chance of survival.

“In cancer care, we recognise that we have an opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives.

“Delivering good outcomes means the ability to provide quality of life and years ahead for our patients with their loved ones.”

ACHS International is an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to enhancing healthcare quality through standards and accreditation since its inception in 1974.
