Health is more important than anything else in the world. Malaysia has the best healthcare in the world according to International Living magazine. All thanks to the stronger U.S. currency, cheaper flight tickets, and mounting healthcare costs as well as long waiting list in the western countries.
The magazine rated 24 countries according to the cost of the medical procedures and the quality of the healthcare system. Mexico, Colombia, and Costa Rica are among the top 5.
The article said that George Town and Kuala Lumpur are the two medical centres in Malaysia. To put the icing on the cake, Penang was listed as a UNESCO heritage site in 2008. It has also been named among Top 10 best places to retire by the travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller.

The International Living magazine stated that Malaysia has some of the best doctors in Asia and most of them are trained abroad namely the U.S. and the U.K. On top of that, numerous hospitals in both cities are among the first South East Asia’s recipients of the United States’ Joint Commision International (JCI) certification. There are more than 8 hospitals in Malaysia that have been accredited by the professional organisation.
The article also said that some of the most popular medical treatments are cosmetic surgeries, dermatology, and dental care. It is as simple as registering at the hospital of your choice and wait from little to no time. Last year alone, Malaysia had received over 1 million medical tourists.

Subramaniam wrote on a facebook page in respond to the article.
