Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council Strengthens Regional Ties at ASTINDO Travel Fair 2025
MHTC’s involvement in ASTINDO Travel Fair 2025 underscores Malaysia’s commitment to strengthening healthcare partnerships in Indonesia, especially across Sumatra, one of our key health travel markets,” said Suriaghandi Suppiah, CEO of MHTC. “Through the Malaysia Healthcare Pavilion, we aim to highlight Malaysia’s medical expertise, cutting-edge technology, and signature hospitality that make us a top choice for Indonesian patients.”
This initiative supports the upcoming Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism (MYMT) 2026 campaign, themed “Healing Meets Hospitality,” which celebrates Malaysia’s globally accredited healthcare ecosystem and its unique culture of care.
MHTC’s participation also complements Tourism Malaysia’s efforts at ASTINDO 2025 to promote Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026) under the theme “Malaysia—A Sustainable Destination Rich in Culture.” Together, the two organizations showcase Malaysia’s appeal as a comprehensive tourism hub spanning healthcare, wellness, education, and lifestyle experiences.
Led by Consul Rosalina Abdul Rahim, Tourism Malaysia Medan is collaborating with travel partners to launch new travel packages featuring destinations like Ipoh, Cameron Highlands, and Melaka, as well as Umrah Stop-Over Kuala Lumpur and Halal Tourism experiences with Almeerah Plaza Tour.
Recognized as one of Asia’s leading medical tourism destinations, Malaysia continues to attract patients from neighboring countries seeking advanced treatments in cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, fertility, and wellness. MHTC’s active presence at ASTINDO 2025 highlights the synergy between world-class healthcare and warm hospitality that defines Malaysia’s medical travel experience.
