Malaysia is one of the top visited Asian countries among a few others. Not only is it known for being a financial powerhouse and business hub in Southeast Asia, it is also known for its diverse culture, picturesque landscapes, historical sites, delectable food selections and it being a popular hotspot for medical tourism.
Since over a little more than a decade ago in 2011, Malaysia has recorded a humble number of 643,000 and continues to spike up to 1.22 million medical travellers in 2019. These numbers definitely do not lie and we’re about to reveal why. Below are the 10 reasons why Malaysia is among the most favoured country to visit in Asia:
Some people might have underestimated the quality delivered in the Asian countries. But did you know that in the 2019 International Living Annual Global Retirement Index, Malaysia was ranked the 1st for the Best Healthcare in World Category?
This is one of the reasons why we have medical travellers all over the world coming into Malaysia with ease of mind and leaving Malaysia feeling satisfied.
Whether you will be coming from Europe, America, Africa or any other continents, there are many different flights today offering direct flights to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. As soon as you land, you could be spoiled getting around the places with private limousines, trains, buses or other car services like Grab.
Should you require special attention and assistance prior to and during your travel, it is something that can be easily arranged. Catering your needs and comfort is among the top priority service.
If you worry about the treatments’ costs spiking up, you should note that the costs are well monitored by the Ministry of Health using the imposed ceiling rates. No matter how much an institution would like to compete with each other and make profits, there are margins which they cannot step out of. So, don’t worry about the cost and simply appreciate your leisure travel.
Being a multiracial country, communication is not something you should worry about coming into Malaysia. Medical surgeons and staff working in the hospitals could be fluent in English, Malay, Chinese, Tamil and a few other languages as well. So if you need help with language, it would not be a hassle for us to find the right person to help you.

We have had customers experience travelling to countries where sources of halal food were very limited and that was quite troublesome. Here in Malaysia, halal sources are not something that should concern you because we’ve got halal food everywhere, from street food to 5-stars restaurants, you would be able to enjoy every cuisine without worrying!
