As of 2019, about 316 hospitals and 60 diagnostic imaging centers were functioning in Malaysia.
Around 56 of them are equipped to provide tertiary care services. The number is set to rise in the next
3-4 years, with Malaysia’s Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) aiming to hasten growth in
health infrastructure. A steady growth in healthcare spending was also noticeable, with a 7.8% Y-o-Y
increase in 2018-2019, as the Government hopes to meet the WHO recommended 7% of GDP spent
on healthcare.
