KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA -
Media OutReach - 31 July 2023 – Malaysia is one of the most popular tourist destinations in South East Asia, drawing visitors from all over the world due to its fascinating local culture, stunning historical and natural sites, and captivating way of life. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the country witnessed a steady rise in tourist arrivals, and the numbers are back on an upward trend today.
Recently, the country introduced a first-of-its-kind Premium Wellness Programme to welcome healthcare travellers, who can now get their health screening done easily as well as enjoying the many attractions that it has to offer.

Malaysia eagerly encourages the global population to prioritise preventive care by taking charge of their health and wellbeing. This crystallises Malaysia Healthcare’s focus on welcoming healthcare travellers who are actively seeking preventive care and wellness treatments in Malaysia's private healthcare facilities.
An oft cited reason for people not getting routine check-ups is a lack of time. Malaysia Healthcare alleviates these concerns by providing a seamless combination of healthcare and hospitality to ensure that they experience a good healthcation.

They will be able to plan their travel schedule properly and get their health screening done quickly and efficiently since there will be little to no waiting time. This frees them up to enjoy specially curated leisure tours, or indulge in healthy meals and relaxing wellness activities thereafter.
Malaysia’s private healthcare facilities are closely monitored and regulated by the Ministry of Health Malaysia, as well as accredited by internationally recognised bodies, such as Malaysia Society for Quality in Health (MSQH), Joint Commission International (JCI) and other agencies under the International Society for Quality in Healthcare (ISQua). As such, healthcare travellers who choose Malaysia can have peace of mind knowing that they are receiving quality care at all times in a safe and trusted destination.
