International Scoliosis Awareness Month was made especially meaningful through ALTY Orthopaedic Hospital's partnership with MHTC to promote Malaysia as a premier orthopaedic destination for medical travellers!
With ALTY's gifting of two wheelchairs to KLIA 1 and KLIA 2, MHTC and ALTY exemplify their commitment to enhancing patient mobility upon arrival in Malaysia. Furthermore, the hospital offered complimentary posture screenings at KLIA 1, extending benefits to both the public and flight passengers.
From MHTC, CEO Dr. Mohamed Ali and Vice President of Healthcare Dr. Vicknesh were present. Representing ALTY were Chairman Assoc. Prof. (C) Dr. Ruslan Nazaruddin Simanjuntak and CEO Dr. Izzhar Putra.
The event was graced by esteemed attendees, including Mr Haji Mohammad Jarudin Zulkipli from the Brunei High Commission, Deputy Assistant Director of Immigration Tuan Khalish, Tuan Syed Zainol, Tuan Azfar, and Mr. Chua Wooi Meng representing Air Asia Ride.
We believe that through this significant partnership, we can foster a robust and thriving ecosystem for healthcare tourism, ensuring an exceptional experience from the very first moment healthcare travellers arrive.
