Conclusion
I have been writing about tourism for the last 15 years and have also covered some articles on medical tourism in Malaysia. One of my recent articles covers the top hospitals in Kota Kinabalu for medical tourism.
In the last five years, health tourism in Sarawak has grown exponentially, with more Indonesians visiting from Kalimantan, due mainly to the flight connectivity into Kuching and Miri.
I hope this article about the Top Hospitals in Kuching for Medical Tourism provides relative information as done in 2022, making it up-to-date and relevant, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic.
