Wed, 08 Oct 2025 World's first resort hospital opens in gambling hub Macau

Macau overtook Las Vegas almost 20 years ago to become the world's biggest gaming destination.
Macau, a major gambling hub, has unveiled plans to become a leading destination for healthcare tourism. A new resort hospital, located in Studio City, offers luxury medical services including health screenings, advanced scans, and cosmetic procedures. The facility, which was opened by Melco Resorts and Entertainment in partnership with iRad Hospital, aims to attract regional and foreign visitors and boost the local economy through job creation and increased spending. Macau's government has been working to diversify its economy beyond entertainment, and sees medical tourism as a key sector for growth. With Asia emerging as a major hub for medical tourism, Macau is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend and become a leading destination for patients seeking advanced healthcare services.
