MEDICAL TOURISM IN MALAYSIA

Malaysia has considerable ambitions to develop itself as a medical tourism hub. It is well-placed, as 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 Malayia's hospitals currently boast international healthcare accreditation. Depending upon if they are planning to attract UK/European- or USA-sourced clientele, they may look towards either the UK's Trent Accreditation Scheme or the USA's Joint Commission International (or possibly both).

The Malaysian government is also taking measures towards making Malaysia the leader in alternative medicine as well as in medical tourism . Penang is leading medical tourism in Malaysia and Langkawi could be following suit. Malaysian hospitals offer affordable medical, dental and cosmetic surgeries at a fraction of the cost compared to the US and UK.

Medical Tourism is the act of traveling abroad to receive medical, dental and cosmetic care. Medical Tourism is also called as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Health Travel and Medical Value Travel. Significantly lower costs for best practice care is usually the primary motivation although some medical tourists go abroad for immediate availability of procedures and unavailable treatments. Patients frequently take advantage of the opportunity to vacation and tour inexpensively in the country they are visiting.
