PENANG, Dec 6 (Bernama) -- The Health Ministry will be launching a special website on health tourism in February next year to disseminate information on the industry to the world.
Its minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said the website would include information on the medical facilities and specialist services available as well as the payment rates, to make it easy for those interested to seek treatment in Malaysia.
He said the ministry would indirectly be helping private hospitals in the country attract tourists who wanted quality medical treatment and health care.
Speaking to reporters after launching the "Save 'n Invest" seminar here, he said in line with the government's aim of developing the medical and health-based tourism sector, the ministry held a promotion drive and briefing in Indonesia and Vietnam this year.
"We will also extend our promotional efforts soon to several other countries including Australia," he added.
