Medical tourism in Malaysia - statistics & facts

Many leading hospitals in Malaysia can only be described as similar to a hotel. Gleaneagles Hospital in Kuala Lumpur or Sunway Medical Center in Petaling Jaya, for example, boast not only quality healthcare but also luxurious patient wards in well-decorated buildings for a comfortable hospital stay. These lavish hospital spaces have made Malaysia a popular destination for medical tourism, an industry that generated a revenue of more than 1.3 billion Malaysian ringgit in 2022.
