DIRECTOR'S WELCOME SPEECH

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the University Malaya Medical Centre website. As you go through the website, you will find that UMMC was setup to cater for the education of medical students from University Malaya, the oldest university in Malaysia, hence our motto, "Leaders in Medical Education".

UMMC was officially opened on August 5th 1968 to serve the three main areas of teaching, research and service since then.

UMMC gone through massive changes from the main structure of the Faculty of Medicine to the many towers to cope with the growing demands of the university in providing a premier platform in medical education, research as well as providing high quality service to our patients.

Since then UMMC has been driven with these main objectives: to establish, operate and develop a medical centre of international standing and repute; and to co-operate with the Faculty of Medicine in providing facilities for medical education, training, research, internship and consultancy of world standards.

UMMC strives to achieve the highest quality of standards not only in Malaysia but throughout the world.

Our aim to provide excellent healthcare and health education has been met with great success for many decades and now we strive to achieve global excellence.

Do support us making UMMC to be the world's best as we perform our best in both the delivery of health education and healthcare to the rakyat.

Thank you everyone for making UMMC the No 1 University Hospital in Malaysia.
