SUBANG JAYA:
Subang Jaya to become showcase for SJMC's push in medical tourism
Subang Jaya and USJ will be showcased as a world class community with Subang Jaya Medical Centre's latest initiative to attract more medical tourists to its facility. Sime Darby Healthcare Group Chief Executive Officer Elaine Cheong said that the hospital's strategy which includes spreading its wings globally, while expanding its business ventures locally would benefit the community around it. "Increasing the arrival of medical tourists to our facility will bring benefits to the community of Subang Jaya, which we are a part of." "It will create more jobs while increasing the number of people who will visit the shopping malls and stay in the hotels nearby," she said to SJ Echo after the signing ceremony between SJMC and Cureon Tour Sdn. Bhd., a member of the D.M.N. Inc, USA. The synergy between the two aims to increase the arrival of medical tourists into the country. Elaine said that SJMC was able to provide quality care with the Malaysian warm hospitality, which has attracted many foreign patients, including Indonesians, Japanese, Koreans and British patients. CureOn Tour Sdn. Bhd. chairman, Bernhard Schutte, who was also present said that the company was newly established to promote and assist Malaysia to become one of the leading medical tourist destinations in Asia.
