The Malaysian Health and Wellness Summit 2024, held on August 27 at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, saw the European Wellness Biomedical Group (EWBG) receiving the prestigious Global Excellence in Medical Wellness Tourism and Educational Leadership Award. This recognition highlights EWBG’s significant contributions to advancing medical wellness tourism and education on a global scale.
Organized by the KSI Strategic Institute for Asia Pacific, the summit brought together industry leaders, healthcare professionals, and policymakers to discuss and shape the future of Malaysia’s healthcare landscape. During the event, EWBG, led by its Founder and Chairman, Prof. Dato’ Sri Dr. Mike Chan, was celebrated for its pioneering work in stem cell therapy, bio-regenerative medicine, and educational initiatives.
Insights from Prof. Dato’ Sri Dr. Mike Chan
Prof. Chan, who was a panel speaker at the summit, shared insights into the challenges and opportunities within Malaysia’s healthcare sector. He emphasized the importance of continuous innovation and education in driving the industry forward.
“I’ve written over 100 publications and contributed to the world’s first medical textbook on stem cells in 2006, the first of its kind in the USA. In 2003, I wrote a handbook for doctors on anti-aging medicine, and this year, 2024, I have authored a book on longevity medicine. I believe there’s a lot we can work on for education in the country,” said Prof. Chan.
The award acknowledges EWBG’s excellence in blending medical wellness with tourism, making it a leader in an increasingly important sector. The group’s commitment to educational leadership, particularly in the fields of stem cell therapy and anti-aging medicine, has set a benchmark for healthcare providers worldwide.
Dr. Dmytro Klokol’s Contribution
The summit also featured an engaging discussion by Dr. Dmytro Klokol, another renowned EWBG expert, in session 3. His presentation, titled “Wellness and Lifestyle: Cultivating a Culture of Health Through Business and Health Tourism,” delved into the vital convergence of wellness and business.
Dr. Klokol advocated for a holistic approach to health, combining innovative methods with the thriving medical wellness tourism industry. He emphasized the importance of fostering a health culture that extends beyond traditional medical practices, urging businesses to adopt wellness-oriented strategies that benefit both individuals and communities.
A Surprised Meeting with Dato’ Anusha Santhirasthipam

It’s a great day to finally meet Prof. Dr. Mike Chan, the genius behind the patented anti-aging and wellness products I’ve been using for nearly 20 years. As a lawyer, I’m not easily convinced, but his innovations in cellular regeneration have truly transformed my life.
This chance encounter underscored the far-reaching implications of EWBG’s research in addressing various health issues, from anti-aging to developmental disorders.
Impact and Future Prospects
KSI Strategic Institute’s initiative in recognizing and promoting such excellence underscores its role in advancing Malaysia’s position in global healthcare.
