KUALA LUMPUR, 7 FEBRUARY 2025 — The Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) is proud to bring the Malaysia Healthcare Week 2025, showcasing Malaysia’s hospitals as Bangladeshis preferred medical partner. This event will take place from 5 February to 8 February 2025 with various activities such as on-site consultations with specialists, stakeholders' engagements, and cultural immersion

The event will highlight Malaysia’s expertise in specialised fields such as cardiovascular diseases and surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, maternal foetal medicine, respiratory and internal medicine whilst introducing the integrated approach to health that Malaysia can offers. This initiative is part of MHTC’s strategic vision to expand Malaysia Healthcare into emerging markets like Bangladesh, positioning Malaysia as THE medical tourism destination. In line with this vision, Malaysia has achieved a significant milestone in 2024, welcoming over 45,000 Bangladeshi health travellers from January to September. This therefore highlights Malaysia’s growing appeal as the preferred healthcare hub in the region. By engaging with Bangladeshi patients and stakeholders, MHTC aims to create long-term referral pathways and foster collaboration in healthcare.

The Malaysia Healthcare Week 2025 will feature:
• On-Site Consultations: Offering Bangladeshi patients personalised consultations with Malaysia healthcare professionals to provide tailored guidance and insights into available medical treatments.
• Stakeholder Engagements: Facilitating meaningful interactions with key stakeholders in Bangladesh to explore opportunities for collaboration and partnership.
• Cultural Immersion: Experience Malaysia’s culture and tradition woven into Malaysia’s holistic healthcare ecosystem.

CEO of MHTC, Dr. Mohamed Ali Abu Bakar said, “This event provides a strategic opportunity to bring Malaysia’s integrated and holistic healthcare services closer to Bangladeshi patients, offering them the special care they deserve. Malaysia continues to stand out as a trusted medical tourism destination, recognised for its high standards of care. Our internationally accredited hospitals are equipped with advanced technology, enabling precise diagnostics and minimally invasive procedures”.

Dr. Mohamed Ali added, “As we prepare for Malaysia Medical Tourism Year 2026, we are further enhancing our integrated healthcare offerings. These include advancements in modern medicine, wellness programs, traditional and complementary medicine, clinical services, and personalised patient experiences. This comprehensive approach ensures patients from around the globe not only receive high-quality healthcare but also enjoy Malaysia’s vibrant culture, warm hospitality, and seamless medical tourism journey.”

MHTC remains committed in positioning Malaysia as the healthcare destination and in advancing public and private entities for healthcare tourism development. Through initiatives such as collaborating with the Malaysia Healthcare Week 2025, MHTC seeks to further augment and coordinate healthcare with clinical offerings and tourism experiences.
