Putrajaya (IINA) – Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said Monday that the medical expertise in Malaysia is comparable and sometimes better than in most Western countries, BERNAMA reported.
He pointed out that earlier this year, the country's healthcare system received the top score out of 25 countries surveyed by an American publication, ahead of Spain, France, Ireland and New Zealand.
"We should all be proud of such recognition and I congratulate members of the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) for the hard work they have put into making Malaysia as one of the best healthcare systems in the world," Najib said.
"That is no small achievement," he added at the launching of the Book titled "Malaysian Medical Association Fifty Five Years 1959-2014," here Tuesday.
Najib said that excellence was also reflected in the number of foreigners who were coming to Malaysia to have medical procedures, noting that Malaysia's share of the medical tourism market had nearly doubled in the last four years.
"(The fact) that people from around the world have such confidence in the quality of our doctors and hospitals is visible proof that Malaysia is on course to achieving our goal of becoming a high income status nation by 2020," he said.
The prime minister expressed his intention to make Malaysia's healthcare system as the priority to enhance competitiveness in the medical tourism market.
