JOHOR BARU: The medical tourism industry contributed more than RM140mil to Johor last year, says state health and environment committee chairman Ling Tian Soon.
Ling said the state government has been working closely with health industry players here to further boost the state’s medical tourism sector, including increasing its capacity to meet growing demand.
“The medical tourism sector contributed some RM143mil to Johor last year, and we are working towards increasing the figure this year and for years to come,” he said.
“We have also set up a special committee and have met with health industry players to work on ways to increase our capacity so that we could accommodate more health tourists in Johor,” added Ling.
He then said that several private hospitals have also been expanding, including adding more wards and beds, so that they could receive more tourists to get health services here.
