Pantai to take in more overseas patients

The Pantai Group of Hospitals entered into an agreement yesterday with BUPA International, a global healthcare organisation, to give international patients access to all seven Pantai hospitals in Malaysia.

In a statement, Pantai Holdings Bhd chairman Datuk Dr Ridzwan Bakar said the agreement would also enable Pantai hospitals to reach out to international patients who are BUPA members.

This would further promote health tourism initiatives in the country, he said, adding that Pantai was now receiving an increasing number of foreign patients, especially from Indonesia, West Asia and Japan. – Bernama
