Preferred healthcare destination for global patients


IHH Healthcare Malaysia offers a wide range of specialised medical services, ensuring patients receive the best care for their needs.

IMAGINE receiving quality medical care abroad, with access to specialised treatments unavailable locally. This possibility drives millions of patients to engage in medical tourism.

This influx is not surprising, given the country’s exceptional healthcare services, advanced medical technology, strategic location, affordability and the presence of highly trained medical professionals and warm hospitality. Malaysia’s growing reputation as a top medical destination is further supported by IHH Healthcare Malaysia’s extensive healthcare network, which includes Gleneagles Hospitals, Pantai Hospitals, Prince Court Medical Centre and Timberland Medical Centre.

These hospitals, with over five decades of experience, have built a legacy of quality healthcare. Renowned for their “Patients-First” approach, they provide state-of-the-art facilities, world-class medical professionals and a seamless healthcare experience from consultation to follow-up care, making them a preferred choice for international patients.

“At IHH Healthcare Malaysia, we are committed to delivering exceptional care by integrating personalised treatment with cutting-edge technology,” said IHH Healthcare Malaysia (IHH) chief executive officer Jean-François Naa. “Our commitment to international standards of healthcare ensures excellent clinical outcomes, while our focus on individual patient needs drives high levels of satisfaction. We strive to be a trusted partner in health and wellness for patients from around the world.”

For internal radiation therapy, the hospitals use cutting-edge equipment like the Elekta Versa HD Linear Accelerator and Leksell Gamma Knife Icon Radiosurgery, enhancing treatment effectiveness. Additionally, the fourth-generation da Vinci Xi surgical system and O-Arm imaging and navigation system ensure personalised and effective treatments, positioning IHH hospitals as top choices for those seeking advanced medical care.
