The event was inaugurated by the Minister of Health, Datuk Seri Dr. Dzulkefly Ahmad, who unveiled the campaign’s logo and its evocative tagline: Healing Meets Hospitality.

MYMT 2026 is set to position Malaysia as a leading global destination for medical tourism by showcasing the country’s world-class healthcare infrastructure, skilled medical professionals, and its unique combination of modern care and traditional wellness. Celebrated singer Dato' Seri Siti Nurhaliza has been named campaign ambassador, lending star power to Malaysia’s international outreach.

In 2024, Malaysia welcomed 1.6 million medical travellers, a 14% increase from the previous year, generating RM2.72 billion in revenue – up 21% from 2023. MYMT 2026 is designed to build on this momentum, with MHTC targeting RM12 billion in industry revenue by 2030.

The launch also highlighted the Flagship Medical Tourism Hospital (FMTH) programme, spotlighting four top institutions: Institut Jantung Negara, Island Hospital Penang, Mahkota Medical Centre, and Subang Jaya Medical Centre. These hospitals are undergoing final assessments, with the official winner to be announced in December 2025.

“Our vision goes beyond just modern medicine,” said Datuk Seri Dr. Dzulkefly Ahmad. “We aim to create an integrative healthcare ecosystem that combines clinical excellence with wellness, Traditional and Complementary Medicine (T&CM), and preventive care.”
