A “medical vacation” in Malaysia is one of the best ways to renew oneself, both mentally and physically. When your body is relaxed and the mind is at ease, the quality of healing can be exceptional.
Medical tourism (also known as health tourism, medical travel, healthcare travel) has become one of Malaysia’s most important industries. Nowadays, over 250,000 patients a year visit Singapore alone; nearly half of whom are from the Middle East.
Medical expertise in Malaysia is described as “among the best in the world”, according to the Malaysian Tourism. Most of the private hospitals here have internationally recognized quality standards and all private medical centres have to be approved and licensed by the Ministry of Health.
Malaysia’s economy is booming at the moment. It’s the strongest in Southeast Asia and has growth rates or around 10% per year. It’s also strategically located right in the heart of the Southeast Asia Triangle.
Malaysia’s economic goal was to become a fully developed country by the year 2020 and it’s fast being realised. If they keep up the current pace, it looks likely that they will achieve their goal well before that date.
Why choose Malaysia for your medical vacation?
Malaysia is blessed with an abundance of idyllic beaches. You’ll find hotels and resorts all along the coastline along with frequently visited areas and beautiful secluded lagoons. Most of them boast of luxurious spas and rejuvenating massages. It’s the perfect place to ease your mind and relax your body.
Malaysia also has the perfect climate. It’s warm all year round. The country has excellent hotels, a superb infrastructure and streets that are safe and well policed. A medical vacation to Malaysia can be just what the doctor ordered.
The quality of most of the hospitals in Malaysia is excellent. Some of them even have the ambience of a high-class hotel. They’re exceptionally clean, very well equipped, and use state-of-the-art equipment (including, CT scanners and true 64 slice units that can scan the heart and coronary arteries in less than 5 seconds).
The staff are all highly trained and skilled professionals. 95% of the doctors have received training in the United Kingdom. Others had gone to Australia or the USA.
Hospitals in Malaysia are only 60 - 80% utilized. This means that there’s no waiting lists. You can make your arrangements for hospitalization immediately upon arrival in the country. Compared to Canada, for example, where people have to wait an average of 40 weeks for orthopaedic surgery.
Primary packages and procedures Malaysia
There’s a wide range of elective surgery available in Malaysia including cosmetic surgery and dental treatment. It can all be obtained for bargain rates, while combining a tropical vacation.
Some common procedures include; diagnostic; radiology; dialysis; diabetics & nutrition; rehabilitation; wellness & aesthetics; critical care; audilogy; and speech therapy.
Medical tourism is not new to Malaysia. It’s been around for quite some time. Nowadays, even the English are encouraging their people to go to Malaysia for medical treatment in order to relieve their overburdened system.
If you require medical attention in a hurry you would be wise to think globally rather than locally, especially if you are living in the UK or Canada. Medical tourism in Malaysia could have some answers that are well worth looking into.
