BATU PAHAT: The Johor government welcomes international health and medical industry players who wish to invest in the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), thus making the sector a key contributor to the state’s economy.
State Health and Environment Committee chairman Ling Tian Soon said several parties have expressed interest in developing health facilities, including hospitals and pharmacies.
He added that foreign investors’ involvement in this industry would position Johor, particularly the JS-SEZ, as a focal point and hub for medical tourism.
