I am pleased to welcome the healthcare industry to the region’s leading event - the 14th SE-Asian Healthcare Show. And, with the full support of my ministry.

Our commitment to ensure the best possible healthcare delivery in the region is demonstrated by massive new construction, upgrading of existing facilities and the continuous education of medical staff.

While efforts from the private sector have also ensured that Malaysia has the region’s best healthcare facilties.

With all these developments, I am sure exhibitors will again find it beneficial to participate in Kuala Lumpur.

I understand that, this year, exhibitors and visitors have greatly benefited from the Seminars and Workshops. These initiatives will definitely ensure a stronger participation by the professional visitors.

Malaysia not only offers opportunities for the healthcare industry but is also blessed with: Worldclass infrasture- Asia’s best exhibition venue, a sophisticated business climate and a clean and safe environment... Making this an ideal platform to cover the rest of the SE-Asian Region.

I am sure the Show will again be the best networking opportunity in 2011 and look forward to welcoming you.

(Dato' Sri Liow Tiong Lai)

Minister of Health, Malaysia
