“The number of healthcare travellers has increased from 643,000 in 2011 to 1.2 million in 2018,” Dr Dzulkefly said during the Asia Pacific Healthcare and Medical Tourism Summit 2019. “Our state of technology should also be constantly improved, so that the patients’ cross-cultural expectations can be met,” Dzulkefly said, adding that the best form of advertising was by word of mouth.
“Likewise, the collaborative efforts between the National Heart Association and the ministry over time have led the country to develop a reputable history for cardiology treatment,” Dzulkefly said.
