Malaysia tops medical tourism ranking

 

KUALA LUMPUR: Dubai-based wealth consultancy firm Nomad Capitalist has ranked Malaysia as its top destination for medical tourism. 

Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said in a Facebook post today that Malaysia had outperformed competitors such as Singapore, India and Turkey. 

"Alhamdulillah, Malaysia is now ranked number one globally as a preferred medical tourism destination," he said. 

Dzulkefly said that in 2023, the country's medical tourism sector generated more than RM2 billion in revenue from 1.3 million foreigners seeking medical treatment here.

"This driven by confidence in the expertise of Malaysian doctors and nurses, our high standards of healthcare, and the unique combination of modern medical treatment, warm Malaysian hospitality and the noble values of Malaysian society. 

"This achievement is the result of a collective effort by public and private healthcare workers, investors, and strategic partners who continue to enhance Malaysia's image as a global health hub," he added. 

The minister also congratulated the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council for their dedication and hard work. 

Dzulkefly said the Health Ministry remained committed to improving primary healthcare, accelerating digital transformation in the health system, and ensuring a fair, sustainable system that is prepared to face future challenges. 

An article on the Nomad Capitalists website credits Malaysia's excellent health facilities and expertise, competitive costs and the wide use of English for its top ranking. 

"Malaysia has built medical facilities that rival Singapore and offer much lower prices," the article said. 

"At the same time, the country has set up agencies to attract hundreds of thousands of medical tourists for procedures for anything from burns to heart conditions."

TMM2026: 103 laluan penerbangan baharu diluluskan perkukuh ketersambungan global - Zahid

 

PUTRAJAYA: Sejumlah 103 laluan penerbangan baharu, 29 kekerapan penerbangan dan lima penerbangan sewa khas dari pelbagai negara utama diluluskan sebagai usaha memperkukuh ketersambungan global menjelang Tahun Melawat Malaysia 2026 (TMM2026). 

Inisiatif ini dimaklumkan pada mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Kabinet Pelancongan dan Kebudayaan (JKPK) yang dipengerusikan Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi hari ini.

Beliau berkata jawatankuasa berkenaan turut menekankan keperluan melaksanakan kempen promosi secara menyeluruh hingga peringkat antarabangsa dengan sokongan kerajaan sebagai persediaan menjelang TMM2026. 

Ahmad Zahid berkata antara strategi digariskan termasuk mencipta permintaan dengan memperkasakan jenama Malaysia Truly Asia dan Cuti-Cuti Malaysia, promosi bersama syarikat penerbangan dan pengendali pelancongan serta pendekatan segmentasi pasaran untuk menarik pelawat berprofil tinggi dari seluruh dunia.

"Kerajaan komited untuk memacu sektor pelancongan sebagai pemangkin utama pertumbuhan ekonomi negara selaras dengan aspirasi Malaysia MADANI khususnya teras Membina Semula Ekonomi. 

"Sektor ini bukan sahaja menyumbang kepada Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK), tetapi juga mencipta peluang pekerjaan dan meningkatkan daya saing negara dalam pasaran global," katanya melalui kenyataan.

Ahmad Zahid berkata mesyuarat itu dimaklumkan mengenai tujuh program ikonik yang akan dianjurkan sebagai tarikan utama TMM2026 termasuk Malaysia Mega Sale, Festival Budaya Malaysia, Global Meet, World Tourism Day & Conference, Pelancaran Rasmi TMM2026, VM2026 Year-End Sale dan Ambang Sambutan TMM2026. 

Beliau berkata mesyuarat turut dimaklumkan mengenai program Pelancongan Mampan melalui inisiatif Greening Protocol. 

"Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) dan Kerajaan Negeri Selangor akan menerajui pelaksanaan Greening Protocol merangkumi teknologi rendah karbon, mobiliti hijau dan pemerkasaan ruang hijau bandar. Ini sejajar dengan matlamat menjadikan Malaysia destinasi pelancongan mampan bertaraf dunia," katanya. 

Bagi memastikan sektor ini kekal berdaya saing, Ahmad Zahid menyeru semua kementerian dan agensi supaya berganding bahu dengan Kementerian Pelancongan, Seni dan Budaya (MOTAC) dalam memacu sektor ini sebagai agenda nasional. 

"Kejayaan pelancongan negara hanya dapat dicapai melalui penyelarasan dasar dan pelaksanaan yang kolektif serta inklusif," katanya. 

Ahmad Zahid turut menyeru semua petugas barisan hadapan negara khususnya di pintu masuk antarabangsa menunjukkan sikap mesra dan profesional sebagai duta kecil negara yang menyambut kedatangan pelancong. 

"Saya yakin, dengan komitmen bersama semua pihak, kita mampu menjadikan Malaysia sebagai destinasi pelancongan utama dunia menjelang TMM2026," katanya.
