KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 17 -- The Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) has strengthened the national healthcare travel industry with synergistic collaborations through fruitful business-to-business (B2B) discussions between Malaysian players and healthcare representatives from the Middle East at the Expo 2020 Dubai.
Its chief executive officer, Mohd Daud Mohd Arif, in a statement here said the key talks held throughout the Malaysia Healthcare Excellence week at the expo would open the way for future collaborations with leading industry players and expand Malaysia’s presence as a global healthcare destination in the Middle East.
“This is in line with our aim to provide the best Malaysia healthcare travel experience by 2025, based on the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Industry Blueprint 2021-2025,” he said.
He said MHTC has also leveraged the uniqueness of Expo 2020 Dubai to provide an incubator for healthcare startups to explore and connect in B2B discussions with healthcare providers, facilitators, travel agents, and other industry players from other countries.
“With more than 90 B2B meetings organised throughout the week, it is more important than ever for Malaysia Healthcare to showcase the strengths of our healthcare offerings and remain top of mind as a leading global healthcare destination,” he said.
Among the outcomes of MHTC’s engagement with Fakeeh University Hospital include a possible collaboration to establish an In vitro fertilization (IVF) speciality centre in the hospital, as well as continued discussions via knowledge exchange sessions, while the Dubai Fertility Centre was also looking to work with MHTC on knowledge transfer sessions in the field of embryology.
MHTC also met with representatives from the Saudi German Hospital in Dubai to explore potential associations with MHTC’s member hospitals for treatments relating to fertility, cardiology, oncology, and Hepatitis C, along with opportunities for Continuous Medical Education initiatives.
