（吉隆坡22日讯）马来西亚医疗旅游理事会（MHTC）总执行长瑟琳阿兹里指出，为医疗旅游而前来大马的游客，不能在国内逛街购物或旅游，反之需在完成治疗后直接回国。
瑟琳阿兹里在接受马来报章《每日新闻》访问时说，政府制定的最新标准作业程序内已涵盖上述条件，以遏制任何涉及境外输入病例的新冠肺炎疫情蔓延风险。
她指出，上述标准作业程序自7月1日起起生效，而这严谨的标准作业程序之一，是政府为了让医疗旅游领域在重启之余，也可确保没有涉及医疗旅客的境外输入病例在国内蔓延的风险。
“在这之前，外国公民经医疗旅游配套前来大马进行治疗时，透过其他活动为国内经济提供贡献，但如今他们需在进行治疗后，直接回国。”
“政府于6月19日宣布有关重新开放此领域后，我们要降低新冠肺炎疫情蔓延的风险，和国家安全理事会及卫生部一起讨论后落实的严谨标准作业程序。”
她指出，外国病患若要前来大马进行医疗旅游，需向马来西亚医疗旅游理事会申请，并仅能在该理事会之下注册的70家医院接受治疗。
她也说，该理事会在批准患者申请后，外国病患需在赴马的3天前进行新冠肺炎检测，并在抵马后到医院内隔离14天。
“在完成治疗后，他们需进行第3次的新冠肺炎检测，若没染疫，他们会直接被送回国。”
