3. Malaysia
Malaysia is a beautiful country that welcomes tourists of all sorts. English speakers are made especially comfortable by the large English-speaking native population as well as a strong focus on patient comfort.
Hospital rooms resemble 5-star hotels and amenities like indoor hydrotherapy pools are common. There is even an organization, the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC), which provides lounge and concierge services to medical travelers the moment they arrive.
What it’s best for:
Fertility treatments and burn care are the two biggest draws for medical tourists. Malaysia also offers high quality comprehensive medical screening and complex orthopedic, spine, and cardiovascular surgeries. Approximately 40 hospitals in Malaysia serve international patients. Health travelers stand to save 65-80% on similar treatments in the U.S.
