Sarawak, the "gate door to Kalimantan", is a gem in the world of medical tourism, and the Sarawak Tourism Council (STB) invites visitors from Southeast Asia to Kuching to enjoy the unique offer of exclusive medical packages at Malaysia Healthcare Expo Jakarta (MHX Jakarta 2024).

Held by the Malaysian Health Tourism Council (MHTC), this event will take place from 18 to 21 July 2024 at Summarecon Mall Kelapa Gading 3, Jakarta, Indonesia.

Sarawak received recognition for high quality and affordable medical treatment. For example, heart bypass surgery that requires a lot of money, can be obtained at an affordable cost in Sarawak. This cost gap provides benefits for international patients to get quality health services at a reasonable cost.

The Sarawak medical system also has a hospital network recognized by JCI, complete with the latest medical technology and has a high-quality and fluent line of professional medical experts to ensure smooth communication with international patients.

From cardiology to oncology, orthopedic to dentistry, Sarawak offers a comprehensive series of medical services. Patients can also gain access to advanced treatments such as robotic surgery and stem cell therapy.

In addition to cost savings, Sarawak also offers a holistic rejuvenation experience with a tourism strategy that highlights the richness of culture, adventure, nature, food, and festivals (CANFF). Tourists can enjoy world-class certified health services while exploring the stunning Sarawak landscape, a dynamic culture, and hospitality of local residents.

This unique combination makes Sarawak a strategic health tourism center for Indonesian visitors. Sarawak made a big step to improve its health care infrastructure.

In the next few years, it is planned to build a new hospital with a capacity of more than 1,000. This addition proves the country's commitment to developing the Health sector in Sarawak.

Indonesia is the main market for health tourism in Sarawak. In 2023, Indonesia is ranked third in the number of tourist visits to Sarawak. This is because medical tourism in Sarawak offers more than just affordable medicine; this also provides an opportunity to recover while enjoying the warmth and hospitality of the local community.

The natural charm of Sarawak also completes its medical facilities perfectly. Known for its heavy rainforests and beautiful national parks, the state offers the perfect calm environment for restoration and relaxation.

After treatment, patients can enjoy activities such as observing orangutans, exploring caves, and surfing in quiet rivers to improve their healing process. Traveling to Sarawak is also easy, with daily flights from Jakarta to Kuching.

Kuching Airport is strategically located in addition to having good international connections to meet the needs of tourists from neighboring countries. Local government support and strict regulations also ensure patient safety standards and high service quality. With the choice of accommodation that is suitable for each budget, Sarawak's appeal as a medical tourist destination is increasing.
