Melco Resorts & Entertainment has announced the launch of the world’s first and Macau’s only integrated resort hospital with MRI & CT Scanning facilities in partnership with iRad, Hong Kong’s largest MRI diagnostic services provider.
This initiative underlines Melco’s commitment to supporting the SAR government’s efforts to promote the development of the ‘Big Health’ sector and advancing Macau’s position as a growing medical tourism hub.
The new iRad Hospital further enhances the city’s tourism infrastructure by introducing a robust medical and wellness ecosystem that strategically complements its existing world-class offerings.
Located in Melco’s Studio City, the newly-opened iRad Hospital redefines the healthcare experience by seamlessly integrating world-class health screening, diagnostic imaging, aesthetic medicine, longevity treatments, and medical concierge services.
This healthcare concept pioneers a new era of medical tourism in Macau, positioning the city as a prime destination for health, rejuvenation, and well-being.
iRad Hospital capitalises on the growing global demand for high-quality medical services and the increasing number of tourists visiting Macau.
By offering cutting-edge medical tourism experiences, the hospital aims to attract regional and overseas visitors, encouraging longer stays and higher spending at both Studio City and in Macau, while also attracting repeat and long-term guests through the provision of top-tier medical tourism experiences, according to a statement by the organisation.
Lawrence Ho, Chairman & CEO, Melco Resorts & Entertainment, said, “By launching the world’s first and Macau’s only hospital with MRI & CT facilities within an integrated resort, we strive to contribute to the advancement of medical tourism in Macau. This project aligns with the SAR government’s ‘1+4’ economic diversification strategy, and we are thankful for the government’s support and guidance throughout the development process.”
Dennis Tam, Honorary Chairman of iRad, noted that the launch marked “a significant contribution” to supporting the Macau government’s initiative of positioning the city as a state-level regional medical hub.
“As the leading private-sector diagnostics medical group in Hong Kong, we are confident that this health and wellness project will establish a new benchmark for medical excellence in Macau, attracting patients and visitors from across the region,” said Tam.
