TRADITIONAL Chinese Medicine (TCM) is gaining widespread recognition in Malaysia as a trusted alternative and complementary healthcare option.
With deep roots in ancient practices, TCM offers a diverse range of treatments, including acupuncture, herbal remedies, and therapeutic massage, all aimed at restoring balance and promoting holistic well-being.
The global TCM market is on a strong growth trajectory, projected to expand from USD 86.46 bil in 2025 to USD 124.64 bil by 2030, with China leading the industry at an estimated USD 45.4 bil in manufacturing value in 2023.
In Malaysia, TCM has been a vital part of healthcare for centuries, particularly among the Chinese community.
The country’s cultural acceptance and increasing demand for natural wellness solutions have fueled its integration into mainstream healthcare.
Despite currently representing only 2% of the Asia-Pacific herbal extract market, Malaysia holds significant potential for growth, driven by a rising preference for holistic and preventive healthcare solutions.
Recognizing this potential, SEG International Berhad is proud to announce the official launch of its first Wong Yiu Nam (WYN) Traditional Chinese Medicine Medical Centre flagship outlet at Pearl Shopping Gallery, Old Klang Road, Kuala Lumpur.
WYN TCM Medical Centre Malaysia offers a comprehensive approach to holistic healthcare, delivering a diverse range of treatments that cater to modern health needs.
WYN TCM Medical Centre Malaysia provides a wide range of specialized services, including acupuncture, cupping therapy, Tuina therapeutic massage, herbal remedies, and pain management solutions.
It also offers treatments for digestive disorders, respiratory issues, women’s health, and chronic conditions.
By integrating time-tested healing practices with advanced diagnostic tools, WYN ensures personalized and effective treatment plans for every patient.
Setting a New Standard in TCM Healthcare
What sets WYN TCM Medical Centre apart from conventional TCM clinics is its strategic partnership with the renowned Ma Kuang Healthcare Group from Singapore and Taiwan. The centre is committed to delivering excellence through:
- Expert Training & Consultation – WYN practitioners undergo continuous training and consultation on the latest global trends, treatment plans, and best practices in TCM.
- Visiting Top Physicians from Taiwan & Singapore – Frequent visitations by leading practitioners from the WYN Group bring world-class expertise to local Malaysians.
- Advanced Technology Integration – The centre incorporates state-of-the-art technology such as the InBody Machine to analyze body composition and health needs, supplementing its diagnosis and treatment plans.
- Premium Herbal & Equipment Sourcing – All herbs and machines are collectively sourced with Makuang Healthcare Group, ensuring the highest quality standards.
SEGi University’s Venture into the TCM Scene
Additionally, SEGi University (a member of SEG International Berhad’s education division), is establishing a dedicated TCM faculty in collaboration with the prestigious Shanghai University of TCM.
With a well-established Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy that has produced hundreds of doctors and pharmacists over the past decade, SEGi University is well-positioned to lead the way in TCM education and professional development.
Beyond training the next generation of TCM practitioners, the faculty will actively engage in research and innovation in partnership with Shanghai University of TCM.
This collaboration aims to advance scientific understanding of traditional medicine, enhance treatment methodologies, and contribute to the evolution of evidence-based TCM practices.
A Vision for Nationwide Expansion
The Wong Yiu Nam TCM Medical Centre Malaysia is managed by URBAN Healthcare Group, both of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of SEG International Berhad (SEGi).
The launch of this flagship medical centre marks the beginning of an ambitious expansion plan to establish 30 TCM medical and treatment centres throughout Malaysia.
This initiative aims to make high-quality, holistic healthcare more accessible to Malaysians, addressing growing demand for traditional wellness solutions.
URBAN Healthcare Group is a rapidly growing healthcare group under SEG International Berhad (SEGi), committed to delivering innovative and integrated healthcare solutions.
The Group operates a comprehensive network of medical services, including a chain of TCM medical centres under the Wong Yiu Nam brand, URBAN Dental Clinics, and URBAN Veterinary Hospital & Clinics.
By leveraging advanced medical expertise, cutting-edge facilities, and a strong academic and research foundation, URBAN Healthcare Group seeks to redefine the healthcare landscape in Malaysia.
Its expansion strategy not only strengthens the availability of alternative medicine but also aligns with global trends in integrating traditional and modern medical practices, ensuring comprehensive and patient-centric care. —Feb 23, 2025
