MALAYSIA is emerging as a hub for medical tourism due to a confluence of factors.
One main but more recent driver is the weak local currency, which in turn makes medical services here more attractive to overseas patients.
Other key factors that have worked well in attracting medical tourists to Malaysia include an established private healthcare industry and the country’s strong multilingual population base.
For many years certain private hospitals in Malaysia have already been attracting foreign patients from countries such as Indonesia and Myanmar which have less developed medical healthcare. But medical tourists from as far as the US and China are now heading to Malaysia. This trend is now growing and local hospitals are set to benefit.
Several hospital groups have confirmed with StarBizWeek that patient numbers have grown in the past few years as the country’s reputation among medical tourists continues to firm up abroad.
According to the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) the medical tourism industry is expected to achieve its targeted revenue of RM1.3bil this year from RM1bil in 2016.
Earlier, health ministry statistics show that in 2015 medical tourism revenue amounted to more than RM900mil from RM777mil in 2014.
The MHTC says the industry is experiencing a 30% growth year-on-year.
The council estimated that medical tourists’ contribution to the economy were double that of regular tourists.
