PETALING JAYA:
Malaysia Healthcare Week 2026 has officially begun in Dhaka, bringing Malaysian hospitals and medical expertise directly to Bangladeshi patients and industry partners.

Organised by the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) under the Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism 2026, the week-long engagement highlights Malaysia’s growing appeal as a trusted healthcare destination for Bangladeshi patients seeking specialised medical care abroad.

The event, themed “Healing Meets Hospitality”, will feature networking gatherings, participation in the Dhaka Travel Mart, and a dedicated Malaysia Healthcare Pavilion.

Leading hospitals including IHH Healthcare Malaysia, KL Fertility Centre, Sunway Medical Centre, KPJ Healthcare, and the National Heart Institute are presenting their specialised healthcare services and treatment capabilities to industry partners and stakeholders in Bangladesh.

MHTC CEO Suriaghandi Suppiah said the initiative aims to strengthen healthcare collaboration between Malaysia and Bangladesh.

“Malaysia Healthcare Week in Dhaka represents an important step in bringing Malaysia’s healthcare ecosystem closer to the Bangladeshi community.

“Beyond showcasing Malaysia’s medical expertise, this platform allows us to build meaningful partnerships with local healthcare facilitators and industry stakeholders while providing Bangladeshi patients with greater access to trusted treatment options in Malaysia,” he said.

According to MHTC, Bangladeshi health travellers contributed RM10.4 million in revenue in 2025, with over 10,800 visits by February this year.
