KOTA KINABALU: Sabah has the potential to become the main destination for health tourism in the region, says state Health and People’s Wellbeing Minister Datuk Stephen Wong Tien Fatt.

In his winding-up speech at the State Legislative Assembly sitting on Wednesday (Nov 14), Wong said Sabah had potential to become a player in the health tourism industry because it has recognised private hospitals and tourism destinations that can serve as natural therapy for patients.
