FAQs

Find answers to common questions about MHTC and Malaysia's healthcare sector.
How many international patients visit Malaysia for healthcare each year?

Malaysia welcomed 1.6 million healthcare travellers in 2024, a 14 percent increase on the previous year. The sector has grown steadily for over a decade, driven by accredited hospitals, competitive pricing, and a trusted patient experience.

How do Malaysian hospitals maintain their international quality standards?

Hospitals in the MHTC network hold accreditations from JCI, MSQH, and ACHS, which require independent audits and continuous quality reviews. These are the same standards applied at leading hospitals in the US, 
UK, and Australia.

Is treatment in Malaysia more affordable?

Due to regulated pricing by the Ministry of Health, Malaysia, typically costs 40 to 60 percent less than equivalent procedures in Western countries, without compromising on clinical standards, accreditation, or the quality of the patient experience.

What is Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism 2026?

MYMT 2026 is Malaysia's first national medical tourism year, launched by MHTC to elevate the country's global healthcare profile and drive the sector toward its RM12 billion revenue goal by 2030.
