Dear Readers ,
I trust that everyone is keeping safe and maintaining good health . As the world continues to transition into endemicity , the demand for healthcare travel is starting to aggressively rebound . In Malaysia , we have seen an encouraging surge in the number of health traveller arrivals , signifying the industry ’ s positive recovery and growth . This success is largely driven by commendable and resilient efforts by Malaysia Healthcare in ensuring continuity of care and seamless end-to-end journey for our patients within a safe and trusted destination . Malaysia Healthcare ’ s solid performance at the recent Global Health Asia-Pacific Healthcare & Medical Tourism Awards has further cemented our reputation as a safe and trusted healthcare travel destination , and award-winning .
Award-Winning Destination Malaysia ’ s private healthcare establishments swept over 40 titles at the Global Health Asia-Pacific Healthcare & Medical Tourism Awards 2022 , which also saw the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council ( MHTC ) being recognised for Outstanding Leadership in Healthcare Travel in the Asia Pacific .
We are proud to witness industry players namely the private healthcare facilities make great strides in their pursuit for excellence . These awards are a testament to Malaysia Healthcare ’ s emphasis placed in the delivery of care and further reinforcing Malaysia ’ s niche offerings ’ prowess , especially in Cardiology , Oncology , and Fertility related treatments .

The new phase will also herald a shift in focus to preventive healthcare and wellness .
This trend was accelerated with COVID-19 , with the advent of a new population that is more in tune with the importance of prioritising their physical and mental wellness . The Ministry of Health Malaysia , has echoed this sentiment repeatedly , highlighting the importance of evolving from a curative to preventive lens to further ensure that the primary focus of the healthcare ecosystem remains on keeping people healthy .
In aligning with this , Malaysia Healthcare invites healthcare travellers , especially health and wellness enthusiasts who are eager to seek preventive care and wellness treatments to take advantage of our newly introduced Premium Wellness Programme , allowing them to obtain comprehensive health screening offerings and at the same time , indulge in the comforts of top-notch hotels and enjoy the country ’ s touristic attractions via specially arranged tours .
Healthcare travellers can also opt for dental aesthetics , cosmetic procedures , focused screenings and treatments for Hepatitis C , cancer and heart related disease as add-ons to the health screening package . Through this programme , we hope to empower the global population to lead a healthier lifestyle and provide more accessible preventive healthcare and wellness options for all .

I am , therefore , confident that Malaysia Healthcare is equipped to ensure industry sustainability and curate future opportunities for healthcare travellers in experiencing true care here in Malaysia .
