The conference is planning on bringing together many of Asia’s medical tourism service providers. As Asia has more than 75% of the globe’s medical tourism infrastructure whether it be hospitals, spas, alternative health facilities, it is expected that the event will draw delegates from throughout the world.

According to Mr. Thomas Callaghan, CEO of SOS Medical Tourism Services, "Based on our research, Malaysia’s healthcare tourism revenue posted a growth of 37.9 percent since 1998 and is growing steadily. By year 2010, medical tourism revenue per patient is estimated to reach USD600 M. Needless to say that because of this fact, we have decided to relocate the next year’s event, the 2010 World Medical Health Tourism Conference to Kuala Lumpur to boost foreign confidence in more advanced medical care services in Malaysia.”

Most international patients come from neighboring countries with less developed medical infrastructure e.g. Indonesia, Bangladesh, Burma and other developed countries from the West and the Middle Eastern countries. Malaysia is also a preferred destination for these international patients due to the highly regarded professionalism in the healthcare industry.
