Malaysia Healthcare was represented by four (4) top-tier Malaysian private hospitals, which include Institut Jantung Negara (IJN) or National Heart Institute and Prince Court Medical Centre from Kuala Lumpur, KPJ Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital from Selangor, and Mahkota Medical Centre from Melaka.

The discussion aimed to spark interest and encourage participants to explore the exceptional healthcare and wellness services that Malaysia has to offer.
"We are thrilled to organise the first ever wellness fair here in Dhaka. This event marks an opportunity to introduce Malaysia Healthcare to all health and wellness enthusiasts here in Dhaka," said Farizal B. Jaafar, Acting Chief Executive Officer of MHTC. "Our aim is to continue providing accessible medical care and caring for the community around us by meeting their healthcare needs for years to come. By attending this event, we hope it will inspire the many communities in Bangladesh to visit Malaysia and personally experience the world-class healthcare and wellness services that we offer."
Fitness and wellness took the spotlight at the fair, with attendees joining fitness sessions and wellness workshops.

The fair also presented a variety of healthy and nutritious foods for the participants to explore, and featured live performances, providing soulful and invigorating music that ensured a day of pure enjoyment for all participants. MHTC plans to organise similar wellness fairs to inspire and encourage more communities to learn and prioritise their health and well-being.
