The Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) recently hosted senior officials from the Royal Oman Police (ROP) for a four-day visit, aimed at enhancing government-to-government cooperation in healthcare. From 21 to 24 October, the delegation, led by Brigadier Dr Naseer Al-Manthery, Director General of Medical Services for Security Services, toured leading Malaysian hospitals and patient facilitation centres to assess clinical capabilities and care coordination systems.
This visit marks a significant step in the ongoing partnership between MHTC and ROP, which began in January 2025. The collaboration seeks to address the medical needs of Omani security personnel and their families through structured healthcare initiatives. The familiarisation programme allowed ROP leadership to directly evaluate Malaysian healthcare infrastructure and international patient services.
The delegation visited several key medical facilities, including KPJ Damansara Specialist Hospital 2, Prince Court Medical Centre, PERKESO Rehabilitation Centre Tun Abdul Razak in Melaka, and Sunway Medical Centre. These visits facilitated discussions with hospital leadership on referral pathways, international patient services, and potential collaborations in clinical training and fellowship opportunities.
Suriaghandi Suppiah, MHTC’s Chief Executive Officer, emphasised the importance of such engagements, stating, “This programme represents the next phase of our partnership, providing ROP leadership with direct assessment of Malaysian healthcare infrastructure and international patient services.” The visit underscores the commitment of both parties to strengthen healthcare ties and explore further collaborative opportunities.
