10 reasons to make Malaysia your preferred
healthcare destination
Whether you're looking for a small cosmetic procedure and a big holiday
or major surgery along with a short getaway, there are countless reasons
that make Malaysia the ideal destination for your healthcare needs. Here
are 10 reasons why.
1. Affordable procedures
Malaysia's favourable exchange rate and the cost of healthcare services is
at an extensively lower cost than that of other countries. If you're coming
from a Western country such as the United States or Britain, medical
procedures in Malaysia will generally cost a fraction of the price as
compared to prices back home.
2. Modern facilities
Extensive investments have been made to ensure that all medical centres
are equipped with modern facilities, internationally accredited hospitals of
Malaysia are capable of handling the latest techniques and procedures.
These state-of-the-art facilities focus on what matters: more effective,
efficient and pleasant solutions for patients.
3. Professionals with internationally recognised credentials
Doctors in Malaysia are highly experienced. Having been involved in
numerous groundbreaking procedures and revolutionary researches
which have garnered several international recognitions, Malaysia boasts a
high number of specialists with decades of experiences in their relevant
fields.
4. Short waiting time
With all medical centres equipped with modern facilities, medical centres
in Malaysia are able to provide shorter waiting time. Patients may be
hospitalised upon arrival, and examinations and work-up tests are usually
addressed promptly.
Organised and efficient patient registration systems eliminate or reduce
patient queues to ensure treatment and medication is quickly dispensed
so patients can choose to either return home or recuperate amidst some
of Malaysia's lush rainforests and pristine beaches.
5. Social & political stability
Since its independence, Malaysia boasts one of South-East-Asia's most
vibrant economies, the fruit of decades of industrial growth and political
stability. Its multi-ethnic society encompasses Malays, Chinese and
Indians who co-exist in harmony. Malaysians are peace-loving and friendly
people. Visitors can be ensured of respect and greeted with sincere
smiles throughout his or her stay.
6. Ease of entry
The Malaysian government has made it easier for visitors seeking health
treatments to enter the country. With the relevant letter from the medical
centre at which you will be receiving your medical treatment, you may enjoy
up to six months of visa extension.
For more information, please visit: Department of Immigration Malaysia.
7. Low cost of living
Prices in Malaysia are reasonable and affordable, be it accommodation,
food or even shopping.
8. Accommodation
From comfortable and affordable hotels to five-star accommodations,
Malaysia provides you with a choice to budget or splurge. Hotels start from
as low as USD43 to USD143.20 per night depending on its star rating.
Alternatively, if your family is accompanying you for treatment, there is also
an option to rent a serviced apartment. Prices range around USD115 to
USD172 depending on the size of the apartment. Service apartments in
Malaysia operate similar services to a hotel.
9. Excellent infrastructure
Public and private transportation is readily available throughout Malaysia.
Monorails, taxis, trains and buses are available at regular intervals, while
cars can be easily rented for those who desire extra control over their
travelling. Besides coaches and trains, low cost flights are also available
to hundreds of locations outside of Kuala Lumpur. In essence, all cities in
Malaysia are very well connected.
10. Lots to see and do
The multi-cultural society that makes up Malaysia has contributed to the
culinary legacy of Malaysian food. Tourists can look forward to affordable
Malay, Chinese, Indian and Portuguese dishes that offer an exotic
experience unique to the country.
Malaysia offers a variety of choice dining experiences that cater to specific
needs. There are also many restaurants that serve choices of
international cuisines such as Italian, Middle Eastern, and American.
Food however, is not the only thing that makes Malaysia colourful.
Malaysians celebrate a vast range of festivals, but the ones to look out for
nationwide are Islamic holidays, most notably the fasting month of
Ramadhan. During Ramadhan, lively Ramadhan bazaars appear in every
city and town, bustling with activity and bursting at the seams with great
food. Hotels and restaurants also pull out all stops to put on massive
spreads of food for fast-breaking feasts. Other major festivals include
Chinese New Year (around January or February), the Buddhist holiday of
Wesak (around June), Deepavali, the Hindu festival of lights (around
November) and Christmas. Some uniquely Malaysian festivals of note
include the Harvest Festival at the end of May each year and the 'Pesta
Gawai' in early June, both thanksgiving celebrations held in East Malaysia.
Geographically, with Malaysia surrounded by the South China Sea, visitors
here will find a weather pattern that is best described as tropical. During
most times, Malaysia's climate boasts year-round temperatures of around
30 degrees. You will find much cooler temperatures in the more
mountainous regions. The beautiful weather, incredible mountains and
seaside views all combine to make Malaysia a favourite health tourism
destination.

The Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) was established under
the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) on 3rd July 2009 upon the approval
of the Malaysian Cabinet. MHTC has been set up as the primary agency to
develop and promote the healthcare travel industry and to position
Malaysia as the healthcare destination of choice in the region.
The Council reports to an Advisory Committee chaired by the Minister of
Health and co-chaired by the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department
heading the Economic Planning Unit. Members of the Committee are
appointed from representatives of the government and the private sector
involved in healthcare travel. The Committee is responsible for advising
on policy issues and setting directions for the healthcare travel industry.
MHTC will galvanise public-private sector collaboration to formulate
strategic plans for the development and promotion of healthcare travel
services, and coordinate promotional activities for Malaysian healthcare
providers and related stakeholders. While the healthcare travel industry
will be private sector-driven, the Government will assume an active role to
facilitate its growth. MHTC will also be a focal point or a 'one-stop centre'
for all matters related to healthcare travel, to facilitate enquiries on policies
and programmes on healthcare travel development and promotion, and
serve as a one-stop centre for solutions on matters related to healthcare
travel. MHTC will not only be the promotion arm of the Government but
also a referral point to assist healthcare travellers and members in the
healthcare travel industry in Malaysia.
With the establishment of MHTC, promotional efforts will be more focused,
and issues impacting industry growth will be addressed in a concerted
manner. Growth in the healthcare travel industry can contribute to the
growth of the country and also raise Malaysia's international profile as a
country that provides quality healthcare services.
