MHTC is honoured to share insights on Malaysia’s healthcare tourism offerings with the Heads of Mission in their Pre-Posting Course at the Institute of Diplomacy & Foreign Relations this morning. We encouraged diplomatic missions to promote our healthcare sector in their respective countries. We wish the diplomats all the best in their new postings and look forward to seeing the positive impact they will have on promoting Malaysia's healthcare tourism.


Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC), established in 2009 under the purview of the Ministry of Health (MOH) Malaysia, is entrusted with developing and nurturing the “Malaysia Healthcare” brand. MHTC enhances, coordinates, and promotes Malaysia’s healthcare travel industry by fostering industry collaborations and building valuable public-private partnerships both domestically and internationally. With 80 member hospitals nationwide, MHTC continues to elevate the healthcare travel ecosystem through strong branding, seamless patient experiences, and strategic market initiatives. In line with these efforts, MHTC is spearheading the Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism (MYMT) 2026, the nation’s first dedicated year to celebrate and advance healthcare travel. MYMT 2026 serves as a milestone initiative to showcase Malaysia’s world-class healthcare offerings, strengthen its position as the premier global healthcare destination, and highlight the industry’s significant contribution to the national economy.
