PETALING JAYA : The Association of Private Hospitals Malaysia (APHM) is organising what is reputed to be the largest hospital exhibition in the country next week.
APHM president Dr Kuljit Singh said the event will feature a total of 420 exhibitors from Europe, the US, Australia and Asia.
They will be offering equipment at competitive prices, which in the long run would help in reducing the cost of private healthcare.
Kuljit said the cost of treatment at private hospitals also hinged on the latest innovations these hospitals had.
'And people all over the world are looking for cost-effective and value-added treatment.
'So this exhibition will allow private hospitals to make informed choices that can ultimately attract more health tourists,' he said when contacted, referring to the APHM International Healthcare Conference and Exhibition.
Kuljit went on to say that the exhibition, which will be held from June 9 to 11, was timely in view of the rising global healthcare costs.
He also encouraged public hospitals to attend the exhibition as they could invest in technology that was comparatively cheaper.
Kuljit expressed hope that the exhibition will solidify Malaysia's leadership in the Asean healthcare landscape.
According to a 2024 report by RHB, Malaysia is among the top destinations for medical tourism within the region. The country took in over RM2 billion in revenue in 2023.
Kuljit said the exhibition will run concurrently with the APHM International Healthcare Conference 2025, which is set to explore six focussed tracks on healthcare challenges, including cost management and financing through evidence-based, patient-centred discussions, and collaboration between private providers and global innovators.
The exhibition and conference, which will be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, are jointly organised by the Reed Sinopharm Exhibitions.
It will be officiated by health minister Dzulkefly Ahmad.
