The World Heart Day Opening Ceremony 2018, Surgical Hall Upgrade (OT) and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Check Presentation by Sime Darby were held at UMMC on November 19, 2018 at the Auditorium, Menara Selatan.

The World Heart Day celebrated on September 29th every year is to foster the awareness of the community in preserving our heart as it is one of the most important organs in our body, without which we are all lifeless.

The ceremony was officiated by YAB Dato ''Seri Dr. Wan Azizah Dr. Wan Ismail, Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia. Also present was YBhg. Datin Paduka Zaitoon bt Dato ''Othman, Sime Darby Supreme Council Member, YB Ahmad Fahmi bin Mohamed Fadzil, Lembah Pantai MP and YB Tuan Haji Syamsul Firdaus bin Mohamed Supri.

Hopefully, upgrading the Surgical and Intensive Care Ward (ICU) with modern equipments can provide the best health care to patients in the hospitals.

Thank you very much to the Sime Darby Foundation for a donation of RM 1.5 million to help the underprivileged UMMC patients undergo heart disease treatment.
