Malaysia serves as an excellent example of the growth of medical tourism.
Medical , as well as dental tourism , was only instituted formally in the medical community with legislation and guidelines in 1999. Since that time Medical Tourism has taken off as an industry in Malaysia both as medical and health tourism. The contributions to the Malaysian economy have been substantial.
