Medical Tourism Malaysia

Malaysia has ambitions to develop itself as a medical tourism hub. The country has excellent hospitals, English is widely spoken, and many staff have been trained to a high level in the UK or in the US. There is a highly active Association for Private Hospitals of Malaysia working to develop medical tourism. While Malaysia has a national accreditation scheme (MSQH), few of Malaysia's hospitals currently hold international healthcare accreditation.

Medical expertise in Malaysia is at par with the western countries and most private hospitals in the country have internationally recognized quality standards. All private medical centers are approved and licensed by the Ministry of Health and are required to maintain stringent quality standards.

People from around the world visit Malaysia for Medical Tourism and avail high quality medical treatment in some of the best healthcare facilities in the country. Medical Tourism in Malaysia has been patronized by tourists looking for critical medical treatment as well as by people in need of cosmetic and preventative care.

The favorable exchange rate of the US Dollar to the Malaysian Ringgit (RM) makes the already low cost medical treatment an incredible value to medical tourists. Many of the private hospitals in Malaysia are also applying for JCI Accreditation in order to attract more international patients.

Multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-lingual, Malaysia is an excellent choice for meeting the healthcare needs of international medical tourism patients. Like India, the government of Malaysia has also established a national goal of becoming the future hub for treating international patients from around the world.

Malaysia is a great destination for medical tourism due to its highly efficient medical staff and modern healthcare facilities as well as its engaging scenery and relaxing beaches.

Most doctors in Malaysia receive at least some of their training in the United Kingdom, Australia or the U.S. Unlike many countries, Malaysia doesn't incur a 'brain drain' of its best educated professionals as the government provides incentives for doctors to return home to practice, so you'll have a great pool of doctors to choose from.

Medical expertise in Malaysia ranks among the best in the world and most private hospitals in the country have internationally recognized quality and standards. These include the MS ISO9002 or accreditation by the Malaysian Medical Society for Quality of Health (MSQH). All private medical centers must be approved and licensed by the Ministry of Health.

Malaysia’s growing reputation as a preferred health and medical destination sees it welcoming visitors from around the world seeking remedies for a range of medical needs. These include both critical health services as well as cosmetic and remedial care.
