THE MINISTRY of Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports has established a Medical Tourism Coordination Committee set to collaborate with hospitals, the relevant authorities and also the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC).
This is in view of the expanding medical tourism sector, which has also been contributing to Sarawak’s economy, says minister Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.
“In 2017, Sarawak recorded 44,700 foreign patients who came to Sarawak to seek medical treatments, and brought in receipts of RM60.7 million.
