Western quality cosmetic surgery at Asian price

For the past few years, Malaysia has become one of the top choices for cosmetic surgery. A report by Mintel in which.co.uk website, medical tourism is on the increase as more Britons go abroad for treatments. Overseas trips for cosmetic surgery, operations and post-op relaxation are worth around £60 million per year.

Why Malaysia?

Most private hospitals in Malaysia have internationally recognised quality standards. These include the MS ISO9002 or accreditation by the Malaysian Medical Society for Quality of Health (MSQH). All private medical centres must be approved and licensed by the Ministry of Health.
Medical charges and hospitalisation costs are very competitive compared to those in many developed countries. This and the favourable exchange rates make it very affordable. For example, a normal cardiac bypass surgery (CABG) would cost in the region of USD6,000 - USD7,000. Medical specialists are highly qualified professional, many with qualifications from the UK, Australia and the USA and are supported by well-trained para-medical staff and state-of-the-art, well-equipped and well-staffed private medical centres with extensive diagnostic and therapeutic resources. Most medical staff speak English.

Tabin Wildlife Reserve - Lahad Datu, Sandakan

Tabin is an enormous dipterocarp rainforest landscape in the eastern part of Sabah, dubbed Malaysian Borneo. It has been declared a wildlife reserve as it is home to a large number of animals, some of which are highly endangered and endemic.

With a protected forest area of 120,500 hectares, Tabin plays an important role as a dedicated ground for the breeding of endangered wildlife and protected mammals in Sabah. The three largest mammals of Sabah: Borneo Pygmy Elephant, Sumatran Rhino and Tembadau are found in Tabin. It is also a bird-watcher's paradise with a record of 42 indigenous families representing 220 species of birds.Among them are eight Sabahan hornbill species, blue-headed pitta, wren-babbler, Borneon blue flycatcher and some rarely seen species like the speckled piculet, chestnut-capped thrush and thick-bellied flowerpecker.

Other interesting activities are night safari, visit a muddy volcano and Lipad waterfall.

Where to stay

Tabin Wildlife Reserve is a one-resort park. A small site of the vast park has been allocated as the nerve centre with lodging and other facilities for visitors. Expect nothing but abundant nature. The resort offers authentic Borneo-style timber chalets built within thick forested hill and basic floor-and-roof-only Eco Tented Platforms (ETP).

Getting there

It is located some 50km to the north-east of Lahad Datu, located on the Dent peninsular. It takes about an hour to get there by foor-wheel drive, with the second half of the journey a shaky ride on gravel roads. Ground transportation is usually pre-arranged with the resort since it is included in the package. Trying to get a taxi or transport to go in will be quite impossible, especially for walk-in guest.

Lahad Datu is in the eastern part of Sabah. You may drive there - six hours from Kota Kinabalu and 2 1/2 hours from Sandakan.
