沈桂贤：砂拥有医疗旅游完整条件
砂拉越拥有发展医疗旅游的完整条件，其服务质量甚至可与其他国家媲美。 砂拉越副总理兼公共卫生、房屋及地方政府部长拿督阿玛沈桂贤医生表示，越来越多私立医院在砂拉越投资，包括建设高品质医疗设施，以提升医疗旅游产业水平。 他指出，凭借砂拉越当前的政治与经济稳定，将吸引更多投资，特别是与大型企业合作开展项目。 “砂拉越一直保持稳定的政府，这非常重要。很多人可能未意识到，砂拉越拥有稳定的经济，是马来西亚区域中最典型的例子。除此之外，我们始终对各方合作持开放态度。这就是为什么砂拉越具备发展医疗旅游所需的‘全套配方’。” 他周二在2025年国际医疗旅游大会（IMTC） 开幕式上致词时，这么说。 拿督阿玛沈桂贤补充，砂拉越的医护人员，包括医生和护士，都充满热情地投入工作。 “在医疗旅游领域，关键在于人力资源，即医生、护士和护理人员。设备并非问题，有资金就能购买。实际上，欧洲或美国的设备，明天就可以运到这里。但专业医疗人才不是轻易可以找到的。在砂拉越，医疗专业人员的素质与热情都非常出色。” 他表示，通过首届2025年国际医疗旅游大会，相信砂拉越将来能够成为成功的医疗旅游目的地之一。
