Malaysia is rapidly emerging as a premier destination for medical tourism, thanks to its well-equipped healthcare infrastructure. Malaysia Healthcare provides top-notch, safe, and cost-effective treatments, all overseen by the Ministry of Health Malaysia, with leading healthcare institutions accredited by international bodies such as the Joint Commission International (JCI) and the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS).
The Ministry of Health Malaysia has established the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) to develop and enhance its healthcare brand, positioning the country as the leading destination for healthcare.
MHTC's comprehensive ecosystem ensures a seamless experience for patients traveling for medical purposes, from airport arrival to hospital stays, accommodations, leisure activities, until their safe departure.
Their affiliated hospitals are equipped with the latest medical technology. Over the past decade, Malaysia Healthcare has welcomed over 10 million healthcare travelers, witnessing a 90 percent increase in arrivals between 2011 and 2019. The most sought-after treatments include cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, fertility, gastroenterology, and urology, with patients coming from the Philippines, Australia, Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, and Japan.
With over four decades of experience, Malaysians have placed their trust in Pantai Hospitals as their healthcare provider. This establishment consistently delivers high-quality healthcare through its network of 11 hospitals, catering to both Malaysians and foreigners.
As the demand for cancer treatment rises, Pantai Hospital has gained recognition in the field of oncology. Owning one of the four Gamma Knife machines available in Malaysia, they stand out above others for cancer treatments in the country. Gamma Knife surgery is a painless computer-guided treatment that delivers highly focused radiation to tumors and lesions in the brain.
This year, one hospital in Malaysia received recognition from Nasdaq, an American multinational financial services corporation, as the best place in Asia for retirement. Sunway Sanctuary, located in Sunway Medical Center, offers exceptional care for seniors, whether local or foreign.
