Malaysia is well known as a popular tourist destination for its natural, cultural and historical destinations, but did you know Malaysia is also recognised as a fledgling hub for medical tourism? If the term "medical tourism" makes you think of international tourists taking a guided tour of our local and private hospitals, you might want to know that that is not the case at all. In fact, medical tourism actually refers to travelers from abroad who go to Malaysia to receive medical treatment. This applies to both tourists as well as overseas Malaysians in Hong Kong.

Malaysia government has taken numerous steps to make Malaysia a reputable choice for medical travelers, chief among these being the inception of the Malaysian Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) in 2005. The MHTC is an agency under the Ministry of Health (MoH) tasked to "facilitate and promote the healthcare travel industry​ of Malaysia by coordinating industry collaborations and building valuable public-private partnerships, at home and abroad." Through their efforts and initiatives, Malaysia seeks to establish itself as a leading medical destination for medical travellers from all over the world. The country's efforts were even recognised numerous times, including its win of the "Health and Medical Tourism: Destination of the Year​" title at the 2020 International Medical Travel Journal (IMTJ) Medical Travel Awards.

As a Malaysian Chamber in Hong Kong and Macau, MAYCHAM is pleased to be collaborating with MHTC to organise a seminar in November for members and friends who are keen to find out more and interested to select Malaysia as the choice of any of your medical care in mind.
