Malaysia promotes affordable accommodations and even more affordable treatments. Medical packages are available at incredibly competitive rates compared to other countries with the option of choosing a tourist pack to explore Malaysia while receiving treatment (though this may not be recommended by doctors for some treatments).
Staff in private clinics are mostly English speaking and work with internationally trained and acclaimed doctors. The quality of treatment received in Malaysia is high, as are its facilities and technology used. For complex surgery such as heart surgery Malaysia is a definite country to consider for its low cost and high success rate – the success of heart surgery in India is at an all time high of 98.5%.
Consultations can be done online through agencies that are directly linked with hospitals in Malaysia. Patients can liaison with their doctors quickly and easily through e-mail or telephone and have constant support from the very beginning of their treatment to the end or further. Should any problems arise when returning home most patients should be able to contact the doctor that performed the surgery and have the issue dealt with.
