Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) CEO Sherene Azli

MHTC chief executive officer Sherene Azli (pic) said that 250 foreigners made serious inquiries about seeking treatment in the country, but less than 10% from that number were allowed in because of the stringent standard operating procedure (SOP).
