The Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council: Malaysia’s Exponential Growth In Successful Pregnancies

Continuous investment in advanced medical technologies and highly skilled individualised care adds value to the efficacy of IVF treatment in Malaysia.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach – 28 September 2022 – A popular healthcare destination, Malaysia has been making inroads as the Fertility Hub of Asia. With the abolishment of China’s one-child policy a few years back, millions of healthcare travellers from the country have also since made Malaysia their choice destination[1] for fertility treatments.

One of the reasons for Malaysia’s popularity is its high clinical pregnancy success rate in middle-aged women, who are able, healthy, and yearning for children. Through frozen embryo transfers with pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT), some of the fertility centres in Malaysia have achieved successful rates as high as 84% for couples below the age of 40 and 68% for couples above the age of 40.

Among the fertility centres that are taking the reins in increasing pregnancy success rates in the country are TMC Fertility & Women’s Specialist Centre (TMC), Alpha IVF & Women’s Specialists (Alpha), Sunway Fertility Centre (Sunway), and Sunfert International Fertility Centre (Sunfert).

TMC’s innovative Fertility GeneCode and My GeneCode offerings herald a new era in fertility treatment, increasing the efficacy of successful healthy pregnancy for its patients.

“Ultimately, the screening technologies can be a great tool for specialists to ensure that the medication used for a couple’s fertility treatment works well, allowing us to avoid any rare side effects while also excluding medications that may not react well for certain individuals. This way, we can discover from the data why previous treatments did not work, so that we can construct a personalised treatment plan for each patient, improving the effectiveness of IVF procedures,” said Dr. Chong Kuoh Ren, TMC’s Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist and Fertility Specialist .

Also at the frontier of groundbreaking fertility treatment techniques is Alpha, which welcomed South-East Asia’s first healthy live birth in 2021[2] using a new generation artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced viable embryo selection and transfer application.

“The Life Whisperer Genetics algorithm can predict if an embryo is genetically normal, or ‘euploid’. This can improve clinical outcomes for a viable pregnancy and delivery of a healthy baby,” explained Adelle Lim, the centre’s Chief Embryologist[3].

According to Dr. Ashley Chung Soo Bee, Sunway’s Consultant Obstetrician, Gynaecologist, and Fertility Medicine Specialist, couples concerned about advanced maternal ages can choose from a variety of screening solutions, such as pre-implantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A), to maximise the chances of a healthy pregnancy.

“PGT-A can increase pregnancy rates, reduce miscarriage risks, lower risks of chromosomal anomalies, and allow chromosomally normal embryos to be transferred to the womb or frozen for future use,” she added.

Highlighting patient-centred fertility care, Sunfert’s Medical Director and Fertility Specialist, Dr. Lim Lei Jun, communicates the need to be open and honest with patients and help them understand that there is no one-size-fits-all treatment when it comes to attaining a successful healthy pregnancy. “Having good doctor-patient interaction and the readiness to thoroughly assess their history can go a long way. This way we can effectively tailor fertility treatments to each patient and address their unique issues with an optimal treatment plan,” she said.

As Asia’s Fertility Hub, Malaysia is constantly stepping up its efforts by integrating a unique blend of innovative technologies and world-class expertise with human touch, ultimately ‘Giving Hope To Dreams’ of aspiring parents.

“Healthcare travellers can benefit from a plethora of modern fertility treatments and, most notably, patient-focused fertility care. Every miracle begins with hope, and Malaysia Healthcare is at the heart of it. Come and experience Malaysia Healthcare and let us help you to realise your dreams of expanding your family,” said Mohd Daud Mohd Arif, Chief Executive Officer of the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC).

Post-pandemic, the need for executive mentorship has also become more prevalent. Disruption by tech and AI has resulted in better scalability and lower costs for consumers. Many managers cited a return on investment of 6x of the coaching cost.

The Famous Crossover Artist Simon Ma Cooperated with Major Charities

Launch “Drago Cavallo Travels Around The World” and arts charity activities ; Create a New Scene of Art and Literature in Hong Kong

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 28 September 2022 – ‘Dragon’ stands for ‘heaven’ and ‘horse’ stands for ‘earth’. Dragon Horse is the mascot of the unity of heaven and earth, the fusion of ‘Qi’ between heaven and earth, and the symbol of benevolence and harmonization. Drago Cavallo is the cute version of ‘Dragon Horse’ created by artist Simon Ma, and it is the guardian angel of the leading horse. It not only represents the dragon horse spirit of Chinese traditional culture, but also constantly spreads love and positive energy with the concept of ‘harmonization’ with love.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and promote a new scene of art and literature in Hong Kong, artist Simon Ma landed in Hong Kong with ‘Drago Cavallo Travels Around The World’ in Tai Kwun on July 3, 2022. The activity unites Hong Kong Jockey Club, Tung Wah Group of Hospitals and Po Leung Kuk Hong Kong, unites 160 schools, selects 50 outstanding students to inspire their artistic creation with Drago Cavallo as the carrier, and under the leadership of artist Simon Ma, conveys ‘love’ and ‘positive energy’ with art, and gets together with love to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. In order to fully support the development of school students’ culture and creative arts, ‘Drago Cavallo Travels Around The World’ has also held many flash exhibitions at Hong Kong unique landmarks, so that more people can participate and bring more happiness and love.

Drago Cavallo not only represents the dragon and horse spirit of Chinese culture, but also combines the supernatural power of western deification. Just like artist Simon Ma himself and his works, Drago Cavallo is the collision and blending of Chinese and western culture and art. Drago Cavallo pursues peace, advocates nature, comes to the world with the mission ‘Give Touch, Share Love’ and brings positive energy to the world. ‘Drago Cavallo Travels Around The World’ has already gone through places like Beijing and Shanghai. This time, when it came to Hong Kong, Simon Ma still hope that ‘Drago Cavallo Travels Around The World’ can unite all forces with art and love, inspire everyone to bring positive energy spirit to Hong Kong.

‘Drago Cavallo Travels Around The World’ will also unite 18 districts in Hong Kong to hold community arts and cultural charity activities for the first time. Activities will unite the community forces, let art enter the community, let art approach life, and convey love to the disadvantaged groups. With the spirit of harmonization and mutual assistance, will cultivate young people, increase their sense of responsibility, belonging to the society and contribute to their own community and home together.

Hong Kong will prosper only when its young people thrive; Hong Kong will develop only when its young people achieve well-rounded development; and Hong Kong will have a bright future only when its young people have good career prospects.

With the concept and spirit of Drago Cavallo, Simon Ma will publicize Chinese culture by combining Chinese and western creative styles and ways, tell the stories of Hong Kong to the world, tell the stories of China to the world and contribute to building Hong Kong as a cultural and artistic exchange center between China and foreign countries.
