KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach - 2 November 2021 – The Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) will be hosting insigHT2021, the region’s leading medical travel market intelligence conference, which is set to take place virtually this 16 to 18 November. Themed Forging Resilience, insigHT2021 will focus on how the global medical travel industry can remain resilient in manoeuvring through uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now in its sixth instalment, the conference has grown to attract many international speakers and audiences, who recognise insigHT2021 as a platform to strategise and collaborate in sustaining and growing the healthcare travel industry.
“The global severity of the pandemic has posed several challenges for the medical travel industry value chain due to prolonged lockdowns on both the local and international scale. “It is crucial that the medical travel industry turns lessons learnt from COVID-19 into actionable strategies. This is where insigHT plays the role as a fodder for ideas to drive the industry forward into the future,” said Mohd Daud Mohd Arif, Chief Executive Officer of MHTC. “However, if there is one thing we can take from the pandemic, it is that cross collaboration is crucial in accelerating industry recovery and our nation’s healthcare landscape moving forward,” he added.
insigHT2021 is poised as a catalyst for cross collaboration as the conference gathers key speakers and experts across various sectors of the value chain to share insights on post-pandemic recovery strategies and opportunities for industry resilience. Participants stand to benefit from live Q&A sessions with regional speakers, roundtable discussions, networking with experts from various industries through private meetings and downloading e-business cards as well as gaining access to on-demand videos from the conference. Among topics that will be discussed during the conference include reimaging the health system, the future of healthcare and well-being, and rebuilding hospitality.
