MALAYSIA – A RISING NAME IN HEALTHCARE TRAVEL

Healthcare and Wellness Options for Young and Old

Malaysia is fast gaining popularity and is a much sought after destination for medical tourism in the world today.  Recently declared winner of the International Medical Travel Journal’s “Destination of the Year 2015”, the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council is currently promoting the country’s healthcare and wellness offerings.

Providing a series of product packages catered for both the young and seniors, Malaysia Healthcare’s latest promotional plan is to attract more healthcare travellers to the country. Treatment focused for retirees such as orthopaedic and dental as well as health screening options streamlined according to age is available.

Malaysia is well-known for its unique offering of high quality care, ease of accessibility and competitive pricing with further advantage of having its healthcare travel supported by its government under the purview of the Ministry of Health.  Internationally, Malaysia received more than 800,000 healthcare travellers in 2014.  Other popular treatments sought are in ophthalmology and bariatric surgery.

Malaysia offers an efficient and comprehensive healthcare system consisting of both a government-run universal healthcare system and a co-existing private healthcare system with the engagement of both the private and public sector. It is testament to the thriving industry that Malaysian private healthcare facilities recently won numerous awards presented during the IMTJ Medical Travel Awards 2015 held in earlier this year.

Malaysia obligates strict regulatory guidelines for medical offerings ensuring quality care combined with the commitment and backing of its Government, strong public-private sector partnerships and the unwavering support of its people in providing the warm Malaysian hospitality.

Medical Tourism specialist in Sydney Tony Benner, said “In Malaysia, practically everyone speaks English. They have what it takes to compete against the world’s best in healthcare travel with its numerous medical and wellness offerings today. What’s more, Malaysia’s healthcare services offer quality care for peace of mind.
