Despite having to travel abroad for treatment, the total cost actually comes below what you would
have to pay for at home. This is why medical tourism is booming – you’d pay a fraction of the cost of
the medical treatment at home and even get to enjoy a recuperative vacation in a different part of the
world.
The local medical tourism industry has recorded a 30% growth year-on-year from 860,000 in 2015
to 900,000 in 2016.
The fact that Malaysia is a multilingual country helps too – medical visitors from around the globe
can communicate at ease in English, Mandarin, Tamil, Hindi and Malay.
The most popular treatments sought by these visitors are cosmetic surgery, cardiology, dental
procedures, oncology, orthopaedics and In vitro fertilisation (IVF).
