Malaysia Healthcare Travel & Medical Tourism :: MHTC Mission, Vision and Background
Vision
To position Malaysia as the preferred destination for world-class healthcare services.

Mission
To promote global awareness of Malaysian healthcare facilities and services.
To promote and facilitate the development of the Malaysian healthcare industry so as to penetrate the global market.

Background
The Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) was established under the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) on 3rd July 2009 upon the approval of the Malaysian Cabinet. MHTC has been set up as the primary agency to develop and promote the healthcare travel industry and to position Malaysia as the healthcare destination of choice in the region.

The Council reports to an Advisory Committee chaired by the Minister of Health and co-chaired by the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department heading the Economic Planning Unit. Members of the Committee are appointed from representatives of the government and the private sector involved in healthcare travel. The Committee is responsible for advising on policy issues and setting directions for the healthcare travel industry.

MHTC will galvanise public-private sector collaboration to formulate strategic plans for the development and promotion of healthcare travel services, and coordinate promotional activities for Malaysian healthcare providers and related stakeholders. While the healthcare travel industry will be private sector-driven, the Government will assume an active role to facilitate its growth. MHTC will also be a focal point or a 'one-stop centre' for all matters related to healthcare travel, to facilitate enquiries on policies and programmes on healthcare travel development and promotion, and serve as a one-stop centre for solutions on matters related to healthcare travel. MHTC will not only be the promotion arm of the Government but also a referral point to assist healthcare travellers and members in the healthcare travel industry in Malaysia.

With the establishment of MHTC, promotional efforts will be more focused, and issues impacting industry growth will be addressed in a concerted manner. Growth in the healthcare travel industry can contribute to the growth of the country and also raise Malaysia's international profile as a country that provides quality healthcare services.
