Join Sunway Medical Centre’s free health carnival on 26 April 2026 for screenings, fun & wellness

SUNWAY Medical Centre, Sunway City (SMC) is set to host its much-anticipated SunMed Healthy Living Carnival 2026 on Sunday, April 26 2026, from 10am to 4pm at the SMC Tower D Lobby. Held under the theme “Better Health. Better Life,” the free community event is designed to promote preventive healthcare, healthy lifestyle habits, and overall wellbeing for individuals and families alike.

A Timely Response to Malaysia’s Health Crisis

The carnival comes at a critical time for public health in Malaysia. According to recent data, more than 2.85 million Malaysian children aged 5 to 19 are anticipated to be overweight or obese by 2026, while over 32.6% of Malaysian adults are also affected by obesity. Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) — including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer — continue to rise, driven largely by lifestyle factors.

Timed to coincide with World Health Day in April, the carnival offers Malaysians a practical, accessible platform to take charge of their health.

What to Expect at the Carnival

Visitors can look forward to a full day of complimentary health screenings and assessments carried out by SMC’s Centres of Excellence, including:

  • – Body Composition Analysis
  • – Blood Glucose & Cholesterol Test
  • – Postural Blood Pressure Test
  • – Sit-to-Stand Endurance Test

Beyond health screenings, the event will also feature a lineup of interactive and educational activities, including the Lightning Reflex Challenge, a Pickleball Challenge, a Healthy Living Marketplace, hearing and cancer health awareness booths, flash quiz sessions, and lucky draw segments.
