UNIVAL announced today that it has signed a contract with MalaysiaHealthcare (MHC), the leading facilitator of medical tourism to Malaysia, to create portable medical records for U.S. patients traveling to receive healthcare in Malaysia.
The number of U.S. persons traveling abroad for their healthcare is growing significantly. Some estimates are as high as 6 million U.S. persons will be participating in medical tourism in 2010. Many patients will be looking to Malaysia for their healthcare needs, where the medical practices are on par with the best in the world and treatments performed in state of the art facilities that have been furnished to meet international standards. After treatment, MHC offers the opportunity to recuperate in their beautiful country through personalized vacation packages.

Images of all their records are made as well as converting the information in their records to a Continuity of Care Record (CCR) that can be easily carried to Malaysia for use during their treatment. The converted records are also sent to the individuals Microsoft
