Their services include everything from simple teeth whitening through to cardiology or hip and knee replacemen­ts, and everything in between. The current 9–storey building offers an A&E facility, wellness clinics, dialysis, nutrition counsellin­g and more. I enjoyed the facilities of the Sutera Lounge where you can await your appointmen­t in serenity and avail yourself of drinks and nibbles from the buffet, much like a business class lounge at the airport. Surgical patients can avail themselves of the on-site suites with cable TV, private bathrooms, toiletries, kitchenett­es and even butler service, starting from as little as RM250 per day.

The Malaysian Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) was set up to promote and position Malaysia as a unique destinatio­n for healthcare services, under the umbrella of the Ministry of Health. While there are over 250 private hospitals in Malaysia, only those that are well-equipped and pass stringent evaluation­s are approved and registered, and they must adhere to those standards at all times. To ensure your quality of care, visit their website and check out the list of MHTC approved and registered medical providers. At both Kuala Lumpur and Penang Internatio­nal Airports, there’s an MHTC Lounge for facilitate the arrival of health tourists.
