Malaysia has become a centre for medical tourism owing to its medical excellence, high quality services and well-trained medical specialists. One of the major driving forces for the medical tourism industry is strong support by the government. The Malaysian government is actively promoting the medical tourism industry as a strategic industry in healthcare sector. The government has made the entry formalities easier for patients and the Immigration Department of Malaysia has implemented the Green Lane System at main entry points which expedites custom clearance for medical travelers.
