When 2020 started, Malaysia was confidently expecting to continue its amazing growth trajectory in cosmetic surgery tourism. In fact is was projected to draw RM2bil in medical tourism revenue during Visit Malaysia 2020. The head of the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council Sherene Azli said “From being a hidden jewel in the medical tourism sector, Malaysia is now recognised as the world's healthcare marvel,” Unfortunately things did not turn out as expected – we have had 4 months of Covid-19 closing down travel routes and effectively shutting down cosmetic surgeries in Malaysia.
After a miserable 4 months for the medical tourism industry countries are beginning to adjust to the ‘new normal' of post -Covid medical markets.
Cosmetic surgery tourism has been an increasingly important part of Malaysia's economy bringing millions of dollars into the treasury.
Foreign medical tourists are to be welcomed back to Malaysia, but only if following their strict Standard Operating Procedures, one of which is registering with the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council. Subject to country by country agreement, it is possible that inbound medical travellers from South Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, Japan, Brunei and Australia will be allowed to visit first. Plans are still only at an early stage, so turning theory into practice may take some months.
Foreign medical tourists must go through the Health Ministry and register with the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC). They are also allowed to enter without registering with the Immigration Department, and do not have to go into quarantine but they must go direct to the hospital. They must also take a screening test at home or on arrival.
The first provisional list, subject to country agreement, of six green zone counties cover:
- Australia
- Brunei
- Japan
- New Zealand
- Singapore
- South Korea
We have always considered Malaysia to be a gem of a destination for cosmetic surgery and tourism with a winning combination of top class surgeries supported by the Government agencies and a great tradition in hospitality with easy communication in English language. We will keep you advised as the situation develops.
Here are some top clinics you might want to contact when the situation has normalised.
