Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) is a leading academic healthcare institution serving the Klang Valley community. Established as Malaysia’s first medical training centre, UMMC plays a vital role in producing medical and allied health professionals.
Originally known as the University Hospital, and later as the Kuala Lumpur University Hospital, the centre was officially renamed Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) in the year 2000.
The foundation of the Faculty of Medicine and the construction of UMMC were officiated by YAB Tun Haji Abdul Razak bin Hussein in August 1965. The first UMMC building was officially opened on 5 August 1968 by His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Ismail Nasarudin Shah.
Today, UMMC consists of six main buildings: the Main Tower, East Tower, South Tower, Primary Care & General Clinic (RUKA), Emergency Medicine Department, and the Women & Children’s Health Complex. UMMC remains committed to delivering high-quality healthcare services, medical training, and research for the betterment of the nation.
Looking ahead, UMMC will soon expand its services with the opening of the Outpatient Specialist Complex (KPPL), expected to commence operations in 2026. This new complex will centralise all outpatient specialist services under one roof, improving accessibility, convenience, and continuity of care for our patients.
