Medical Tourism in Malaysia: Top 10 Treatments & Surgeries Malaysia is known as one of the top medical tourism destinations in Southeast Asia. Find out the top 10 most sought after treatments in the country and why.
While Malaysia is well known as a popular tourist destination for its many natural and historical sights, you may be surprised to learn that Malaysia is also equally popular for its medical tourism. When we say “medical tourism”, we do not actually mean tourists who come to the country to have a vacation, or take a tour around, hospitals in the country. Medical tourism instead refers to people from abroad who come to Malaysia to receive medical treatment.

Malaysia’s medical tourism industry has seen significant gains over the years, with more than 1.2 million healthcare travellers coming to the country to seek medical treatment, recording a whopping RM1.7 billion in revenue. This is all thanks to the government’s many initiatives, programs and organisations that have helped to build up the country’s reputation as a trusted health tourism destination worldwide, with excellent care facilities, state-of-the-art equipment, and highly affordable treatment rates and options.

Under the guidance of the government, in conjunction with the Malaysian Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC), a blueprint was developed to set the medical tourism roadmap for 2021 to 2025, in the hopes of making further gains to boost medical tourism in the country. This is particularly important as the country now moves into the endemic phase. With international borders now reopened to travellers, it is estimated that Malaysian medical tourism will see even more gains as it welcomes medical travellers once again.
Medical travellers come to Malaysia seeking specific treatment and surgery options for their healthcare needs, every one of them hailing from various corners of the globe. The most sought after ones are:
Malaysia is internationally recognised as a reputable cardiology hub in Asia, as well as being as a cancer care centre of excellence. With its roots having grown since the 1960s, Malaysian cardiology has seen significant leaps and bounds in terms of treatment options, improving recovery rates, excellent service, and the latest medical equipment.

The National Heart Institute (IJN) was established in 1992 to help improve the country’s proficiency in treating cardiovascular diseases via education, medical research and healthcare policies. Thanks to their efforts, IJN has helped Malaysia in pursuing and achieving, various accomplishments in delivering quality cardiovascular care. IJN has also treated approximately four million patients from all over the world since its establishment.
In 2020, IJN was recognised as the first hospital outside the United States to perform an implant of the world’s smallest pacemaker, the Micra AV pacemaker. A pacemaker is a device that is used to remedy irregular heartbeats in a person. This has paved the way for more minimally invasive procedures to implant a very small pacemaker, without leading to potential long-term health consequences from implanting traditional pacemakers.
An angiogram is taken during this process, which uses X-rays to study the condition of blood vessels in the body. These tests are done to check for any possible blockages in any blood vessel, especially the major arteries and/or veins. This will help inform doctors of the right treatment method to use to cure the ailment.

CABG is an open heart surgery method to treat severe coronary heart disease. The procedure involves the use of a graft, which is a blood vessel taken from another part of your body. The graft will be attached to create a bypass that transfers blood around narrowed or clogged parts of major arteries. Narrowed or clogged arteries are caused by a buildup of fatty deposits, which may be due to atherosclerosis or some other cause. The procedure helps to improve blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart by completely bypassing the affected artery.
Sometimes referred to as Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA), PCI is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to open blocked arteries. This is an alternative treatment method to CABG, where a stent is used to widen a narrowed or clogged artery to allow blood and oxygen to flow unobstructed to the heart. A catheter will be used to guide the stent to where the blockage is located. Once there, a balloon is inflated to open the stent and lock it in place within the artery. The catheter is then carefully removed, and the stent will remain there permanently to keep the artery open.
The term ‘cardiothoracic’ refers to the organs located in the chest, including the heart and lungs. Cardiothoracic surgery involves diagnosing and treating diseases and injuries that affect the heart, lungs, and other parts of the body, like the trachea or the oesophagus.

Malaysia is also known as the fertility hub of Asia, with a robust medical infrastructure to support new innovations in fertility treatments and international recognition from various accreditation bodies. In fact, eight fertility centres – out of a total of 30 other fertility centres outside of Australia and New Zealand – have achieved accreditation for complying with the Reproductive Technology Accreditation Committee’s (RTAC) International Code of Practice. Malaysia is well equipped to perform Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) procedures, such as In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), with a remarkably high success rate.
PGT is a type of genetic test that can help doctors reduce the risk of future parents’ passing on genetic diseases, possibly lower the chances of a recurrent miscarriage, and improve the odds of pregnancy success. There are two main types of PGT testing: PGT-A (which stands for Aneuploidy) and PGT-M (which stands for Monogenic, or single gene, disorders).
PGT-A is used to identify embryos that may be affected by chromosomal abnormalities that could affect an embryo. Meanwhile, PGT-M is to determine if there is a specific genetic disease in an embryo. Both tests can be done together, but there are specific conditions that need to be met for each test.

IVF is a procedure where an egg is collected from a woman’s ovaries, fertilised by sperm in a lab, then the fertilised egg is transferred to the uterus. IVF is the most effective form of assisted reproductive technology, but it may also be a time-consuming and expensive procedure, the latter being especially true in some countries. IVF is generally recommended for cases of infertility, which may be due to low sperm counts, ovulation problems, genetics, damage to the reproductive organs, or some other reason.
Fertility screenings are usually conducted prior to an IVF procedure, to check the quantity and quality of eggs or sperm. For women, synthetic hormones may also be injected to help stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. This is because some of these eggs may not fertilise or develop normally after fertilisation.
Somewhat similar to IVF, this procedure involves injecting a live sperm directly into the centre of an egg, as a means to fertilise the egg, in a laboratory. This particular treatment was created to help infertile men or couples who had failed to fertilise an egg in a previous IVF procedure. Once mature eggs are collected from the woman’s uterus, they are safely taken out to be carefully incubated. A semen sample is taken from the men, which is then centrifuged through a special medium that separates live sperm from dead ones. Once a live sperm is collected, it is then injected directly into the egg.

Cancer survivors who wish to start a family of their own may do so thanks to oncofertility treatments. There are a number of options available, such as shielding the reproductive organs with a lead apron to minimise long-term radiation damage that may arise from radiotherapy; and preserving a woman’s ova (egg), a man’s sperm, or even reproductive tissues, for future fertility treatments.
Malaysia also happens to be recognised as a cancer centre of excellence, with over 128 medical and clinical oncologists from both the public and private health sectors as of early 2022. The country was even listed as the third most prepared country in the Asia Pacific to fight cancer, based on a study conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit.
Cancer treatments in Malaysia emphasise both palliative care for terminal cancers, and rehabilitation care for survivors. Many hospitals are also able to cater to various types of cancers and the latest medications are not readily available in other parts of the region. At the same time, Malaysia is still able to provide high-quality cancer treatments at very affordable prices.

Prince Court Medical Centre and Gleneagles Kuala Lumpur offer oncological services ranging from cancer screenings to cancer treatment, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy courses.
This is a surgical procedure to remove a cancerous tumour in the body, along with any nearby healthy tissue. Tumour removal is usually done in early-stage cancers where the tumour is still benign and has not spread cancer cells to other parts of the body. The type of surgical method used will depend on the size of the tumour, and whether it may cause damage to other parts of the body.
For small tumours, a minimally invasive procedure will be used, such as laparoscopic surgery. The tumour will be small enough to be removed via a laparoscope,
