TheEdgeDaily:TMC Life Sciences Bhd (TMC) is eyeing to promote Malaysia as a health tourism destination to the US market following the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with California-based travel agency Van Vic Vacations.
In the tie-up, Van Vic Vacations, which has offices in San Jose, Burlingame and San Francisco, would be allowed to offer health tourism packages for fertility treatment services at centres owned by TMC.
In a statement on Nov 30, TMC chairman Professor Datuk Dr Khalid Abdul Kadir said: “The signing of the agreement marks our first foray into the US market and we are exhilarated with the progress of our health tourism initiatives.”
Since 2004, TMC had proactively marketed its fertility treatment services abroad and had penetrated the regional, Middle East, Japan and China markets, he said.
“We are pleased to note a steady number of in-bound patients from these countries resulting from these initiatives.”
TMC is the investment holding company of the Damansara Women’s Specialist Centre Sdn Bhd and the Damansara Fertility Centre Sdn Bhd. The group has three centres in Damansara Utama, Kepong and Johor Bahru.
