Most Malaysians who cannot afford a private hospital will visit gov clinics or hospitals. Of course the queue is long. The minimum charge is 1 ringgit. But surgery or chemo is not expensive compared to a private hospital.
"You might get your drugs here" - I laughed hard because you are absolutely smart over the moon !! Yes, Malaysian medical quality & services are absolutely another level compare to many so called First World. No way you are getting second tier. Experience to believe it. This should be the health care for everyone.
Excellent video guys! I, myself, have my MM2H and so once I am there more FT I plan to do all you did with the screenings. Maybe do the full MRI type of screening where they literally look at every inch of you. I am a huge fan of Malaysia and I want to thank you for highlighting this known aspect about Malaysia that I feel people discount or think would be inferior care. Uh no, these private plans and facilities are top notch and are full of western taught medical professionals. Thank you, I subscribed.
Visited a friend who was admitted at Prince Court. The facilities and the hospitality are on another level. My friend was lucky, his medical expenses at Prince Court are covered by the company he worked with at that time.
Malaysian above 60 enjoys free (or heavily subsidized) medical treatment at all government healthcare centres. The Malaysian government also provide community healthcares for rural areas and available 365 days a year. So no surprise, for big medical centers to make huge bucks, they have to be competitive vying for paying customers, mainly insured patients and foreign patients.
Slight correction if I may : Almost free (heavily subsidised) medical care and treatment in Malaysia for ALL (not just for above 60) Malaysian citizens at public/government hospitals and clinics.
@@muhd7144 Yes.. all Malaysians in Govt clinic and hospitals out-patient dept need to pay RM1.00 [ about 25 US cents... doctor consultation and medicine.
I'm malaysian, experienced a lot with government and private medical services in Malaysia. I may not experienced outside of Malaysia and will not compare it with any others. But feel so grateful with all the facilities. Even the best government facilities. But since also pay for medical insurance, it's also feel great as for immediate treatment with top services, for several personal dan families experienced.
TKR in ipoh is way much cheaper. Only rm18500.00. 5 days stay in hospital. Follow up consultation is 120.00 each visit to doctor. Every 2 weeks is like 240.00. Pills and tablets is less than rm100.00 per week. Not including physiotherapy. Rm120.00 per session.
Remember to always ensure that you know your body can take these medications. Not many doctors in Malaysia are aware on adverse drug reaction or medication side effects. Ask your healthcare professionals about this. Pharmacogenomics here in Malaysia is affordable so highly recommend that especially with a reputable report that allows you to carry wherever you go (whether clinics or hospitals etc). Remember to always ask your doctors and read the labels!
In Kuala Lumpur we have many top-notch Private Hospitals. Pantai Hospital, Subang Jaya Medical Center and many more. Malaysian government hospital has the best latest medical equipment, and many medical specialists just name it.
My advice for both of you is to consume a more healthy diet. Like avoiding highly processed foods. Especially sugar. Take more organic vegetables, herbs and spices. Free range organic eggs and Fresh fruits. Don't rely on those drug-based pills for too long. They may cause negative side effects to your overall health.
Thanks to Kevin and Sarah for sharing. Try to minimize pain medication through holistic eating such as chia seeds, avocado and natto (available in the supermarket).
The medications actually are much cheaper from the pharmacy (a quater than the counters) - not the branded ones (e.g. watson/guardians) or those in the shopping malls, but usually in the residential area... which are not far from the city center anyway.
Awwwww you're such an adorable couple. You explained everything so clearly. I hope Sarah's knee recovers smoothly and welcome back to our country again. Im glad Kevin's experience is wonderful. 😘🎉 Take good care adorable couple. 🥰😍
I had total knee replacement for my left leg. As Malaysian , I went to goverment hospital . I had only pay for the parts replaced for RM10,000 ( usd 2500). The surgery and hospitalisation for a week cost me RM12 ( usd 3). Most affordable ,right🫡🫡
Over services & facilities are among the best in Asia but we dont hv vry advance medical machine/equitmnts & the best specialist compare to developed country like China Korea or Japan
@@globalgeezers7785 The form is mentioned in the movie "The Terminal (2004)". 1:08:50. It's the form that the American aviation authority requires in order to export medicines out of the country. I know it's just a movie but I was wondering if the form actually exists.

RIP OFF - Overcharging Foreigners. Doctors in Malaysia command high salaries and consultant fees to fund their children's education and migration to Australia and NZ. Every year MY Hospitals advertise for Malaysian Doctors working overseas to return for a "fat cat" salary. Alamak, RM222 for a 1 hour Physio Meh!!! There are many other countries like Hungry, Turkey and India that costs way way lower that Malaysia. Wages in Malaysia are so low and Medical Costs Privately is too high. Many Locals just DIE as they have NO MONEY.. A Teacher get RM4,000 a month b4 taxes - Local Medical services via insurance is still no affordable my many but many locals still pay as there are no alternatives.
We appreciate your input. It’s always a learning curve with how the local’s experience may be. Yes, there are other countries with good medical options, too.
We Malaysians go to government Hospitals. It only cost Rm2 ( 50 cent US) to see a general practioner and RM5 ( usd 1.2 ) to see a specialist.😊 GOVERNMENT employees do not pay anything😅
Hi Guys, good to have both of you here. BTW, just want to inform you that our Government Hospital, only cost us as Malaysian citizen RM1 for almost everything, from prescription and hospitalisation, surgery and whatnot.
Malaysia has excellent healthcare, ranking as one of the best in the world and is affordable. This is evident in the health of former Prime Minister Mahathir who remains healthy in his old age. The current Prime Minister, Mr. Anwar Ibrahim, also appears healthy and youthful at 75 years old.
Medical Tourism Industry for Malaysia…..well, that’s the compliment to our country……Thank you….hope you have enjoyed your trip to Kuala Lumpur……
If malaysia medical makes you better, hey nothing is wrong to spread the word👍👍
Prince Court Medical Centre is classified as a 6 stars hospital. There are other good hospitals too, such as Gleneagles, Sunway, Park City, etc.
In penang there is island hospital, adventist
star rating system, 5 is the highest
Malaysian Drs are some the best in the world!
Your video popped up on my feed. Thanks for showing us your medical experience in Malaysia. Speedy recovery to Sarah. ❤️🇲🇾
Thank you!
Considering all that was done...the cost was dirt cheap 👍 One of the many reasons my wife and I are considering retiring there one day.
Prince Court was setup and is owned by Petronas. So you can be assured that it's top notch world class service.

that's why medical card is important..
Gov. Hosp. Not that bad ☺ just, its too crowded 😁 the bill is 10-30% percent to what we have to pay.. For common treatment its RM1 😅
UMMC is the best of the Best.
Even the expensive private ones sending some patients to gov hospitals for some cases they couldn't deal with.
Thanks for the "top notch" appreciations from both of you about Malaysian hospitality, stay healthy 👍💪🇲🇾

Malaysia, thailand and singapore are tops in south east asia for medical tourism.
Thailand, communication problem. Singapore, cost problem.
@@wai-sunchia6190 not sure how nurses and doctors speak in thailand though
Speedy recovery.. enjoy your stay in Malaysia..
Thank you!
Hate to think how much knee replacement would cost in the US.
It's cheaper to get these stuff done on the other side of the planet than in usa
Glad that everything went well. Enjoy your new knee!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing.
Recommend Patcharapat Hua Hin research 😮

PCMC is branded. Their marketing goes to overseas. So can't compare. They had invested heavily in marketing.
Pharmacies are quite lax about prescriptions, unless it's opioids, benzo and psychotropics.

Yes, we got most of our non-branded medications from BIG, our local pharmacy. 👍

Hi Kevin, how is your root canal and new crown doing? And, why did you choose that particular dentist you used for that work?
It’s good. We looked for an oral surgeon, and this one was at a nearby mall.
I had total knee replacement for my left leg. As Malaysian , I went to goverment hospital . I had only pay for the parts replaced for RM10,000 ( usd 2500). The surgery and hospitalisation for a week cost me RM12 ( usd 3). Most affordable ,right🫡🫡
That's great! Hope you've recovered smoothly.
Maybe you can meet Master Chris Leong for body alignment

Get well soon. While you are here, get yourself rejuvenated.

My cholesterol is 4.3. I am 56.
Ah. Coincidentally, the same age 56 and cholesterol at 4.3 😁
In the airport on your way home, did they ask you to get the Medicinal Purchase Licence? (The Terminal) 😅
@@mohdkhush4922 No. What is that?

it might be better if you sowed ore of the facilties inteas of facetime all throughout. Very poor presentation
Thank you for your input. We chose to share our personal experience and cost. Maybe someone else would like to focus on the facility itself. 😊

1:35 Bro. Not hate. But the way your hand was over her sleeveless shoulder. I had to do a double take. I thought she had a hairy shoulder. 😅

too cheap maybe it's scam. malaysia need to raise it medical tax before to late
Our experience was a good one. 😊
Cheaper and better option , try to avoid the I The C and just enjoy ASEAN all in all
A little bit of sarcasm is tolerable...but not always..
