RANTAU

In recent years, with cheaper air travel, Malaysia has become popular not only for tourists who come here for holidays but also medical tourists who are looking for quality healthcare at affordable prices. Kuala Lumpur and Penang are the two main hotspot for medical treatments with Melaka coming in third place. The three cities have airports which makes it easier for foreign patients to travel.

​

Furthermore, Malaysia has some of the finest trained doctors in Asia. The majority of them are trained in the US, Australia or England. Another advantage is that doctors here can communicate in various languages. Most of the hospitals in Kuala Lumpur and Penang are also among the first recipients of Southeast Asia from the prestigious United States Joint Commission International (JCI) certification.

 

Malaysia has already transformed into a famous tourist spot. Based on the statement produced by the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC), Malaysia is also one of the main destinations in the world for medical tourism along with countries such as Colombia, Thailand, Mexico, and Costa Rica.
