Join us on Wednesday, February 9, 2022, at 3PM (+8 GMT) for our AdvocacyTalks Webinar with Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) on the topic of Forging Industry Resilience with the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Industry Blueprint 2021-2025.

Over the past decade, Malaysia has gained popularity as a safe and trusted destination for healthcare travel due to its uniqueness, cultivated in a seamless end-to-end ecosystem involving public and private industry players that have attracted approximately 8.4 million healthcare travellers since 2011. The sudden emergence of the pandemic greatly impacted the healthcare travel industry and required the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) to rapidly pivot its strategy to recover and rebuild the industry.

With an overall aspiration to provide the best Malaysia healthcare travel experience by 2025, the Blueprint will allow MHTC to forge industry resilience as Malaysia rebounds from the pandemic safely and securely according to streamlined policy directions and more importantly, for continuity of care for global citizens in need of critical care.

Malaysia’s total trade recorded an upward trend, growing 5.5% in December 2021 as compared to the previous month, said the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM).

In a statement on Friday (Feb 4), it said export value rose by 10.4% to RM123.8 billion against November 2021, reflected by an increment in exports of machinery and transport equipment (+22.4%), animal and vegetable oils and fats (+13.2%) and miscellaneous manufactured articles (+7.8%).

"On the other hand, imports declined by 0.4% month-on-month (m-o-m) in December 2021 to RM92.9 billion, reflected by deterioration in imports of mineral fuels (-25.9%), animal and vegetable oils and fats (-20.7%), and inedible crude materials (-2.4%), while trade value soared by 63.6% m-o-m to RM31 billion," it noted.

Chief statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin said the export unit value index grew 0.2% in December 2021 as compared to the preceding month, contributed by increases in the indices of animal and vegetable oils and fats (+3.4%), machinery and transport equipment (+0.8%), and chemicals (+0.8%).
