The success of the Malaysia Medical Tourism Market is highly dependent on strong, coordinated government backing, primarily executed through the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC), established under the Ministry of Health. MHTC acts as a central 'one-stop center' for the industry.

MHTC's core roles include promoting Malaysia internationally, setting quality standards for participating hospitals, and facilitating a seamless patient experience. Initiatives include the MHTC Careline, which assists with patient inquiries in multiple languages, and the coordination of visa and travel logistics. A major strategic initiative is the Flagship Medical Tourism Hospital (FMTH) Programme, launched under the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Industry Blueprint 2021-2025. This program strategically mentors and evaluates a select group of hospitals to meet world-class standards, driving institutional excellence and positioning Malaysia as a global quaternary care hub by 2025. The upcoming Malaysia Year of Medical Tourism 2026 campaign, in partnership with Tourism Malaysia, further underscores this national commitment.
