# HealthyKaki: Medical tourism

## Medical tourism in Malaysia

HealthyKaki publishes an information guide to medical tourism in Malaysia. It is an information directory only: HealthyKaki is not a medical provider, booking platform, or facilitator, does not give medical advice, and does not endorse specific providers. To find accredited hospitals, readers are pointed to the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC): https://www.mhtc.org.my.

Why patients choose Malaysia:

- Internationally accredited hospitals (JCI, MSQH) across MHTC's 80+ member hospital network
- Costs typically 40–70% lower than Singapore, Australia, the UK, or the US for comparable procedures
- English widely spoken; many specialists trained in the UK, Australia, or US
- Shorter waiting times than public healthcare systems abroad, where some procedures carry 12+ month queues

Specialty guides (each compares typical Malaysian costs with other countries, using published figures):
