Malaysian here. There are 2 types of medical care in Malaysia: 1. Private - you have private clinics, which are small (usually for non-serious ailments) and can be found almost everywhere, even in small towns around the country. GPs here, see you and dispense medication. The patient would pay and pick up the medication all in one go. Some clinics even open 24hours. The other private care is Private Hospitals like Pantai Medical Centre, and there are quite a few well-known ones in the country as well. 2. Public or Government care. A good chunk of Malaysia's annual budget for the country goes to subsidising healthcare in this country, so generally, it's free for Malaysians. For the government clinics, waiting time can be quite long but very systematic and computerised. Almost every town in Malaysia would have one or two public clinics. Registration fee is RM1, but more for non-citizens, unless you are married to one. Cash is not accepted so everything's cashless. If your case needs to be looked onto further, then the GPs there will refer you to the main public hospital closest to you. And then you have the main public hospitals - the core of Malaysia's healthcare. You don't go there if you don't have follow-ups with specialists. It's crowded. But suprisingly, things can move very fast from registration to seeing the specialists. Cost - pay registration and meds (medication can also be free). For foreigners not married to locals, the cost would be different but still cheaper than private hospitals.
Most Indonesian that come to malaysia for treatment are middle to upper class citizen, lower or bottom class can't afford it. The reason is, they get better treatment in malaysia than their own country hospital. Many indonesian who got treated in malaysia vlogs about this, most of them said: fast respons, no waiting period to see specialist, friendly service from all level personel regardless who you are, and what they said is much much much more highly skilled professional and certified international doctors in malaysia compare to their own country. There also quite many european vlog in youtube about their treatment here and very satisfying with the services, price and the most important thing is result of their treatment!
I think not many European, UK, US citizens knows Malaysia medical treatment or facility, only by mouth to mouth talk (someone has experience here before) . Well you know, Malaysia are underated country but really that's okay for me & others Malaysian too I think.
I want to clarify something, please take note: 1. In public hospitals there are two situations. First, in case of emergency the services given including diagnostics, treatment and medication, there is no waiting period. They will treat immediately. Second, if you are a registered patient i.e you data is already in you then do follow ups and have an appointment card, the service given will be thorough and if any diagnostic to be done, it will be scheduled for you and it could be there and then or sent to another better equiped hospital. Particularly like CT Scan and MRI it will not take 3 months but just over a month, but there is no rush, it is not and emergency! Remember for emergencies, they will do it ASAP. Of course on the appointment day, there will be a waiting time from 3 to 6 hours. But be wise, do some planning and fill the waiting time with something useful. All of the above is free for Malaysian citizens. Non-citizens have to pay but it is definitely affordable for people like Saira Hayati, may it is peanuts. So please give the proper impression so people really understand. 2. For private hospitals, of course you have to pay and the hospitals will try to give their best services to compete with other private hospitals.
@@khaleefax9553Usually, the doctor would supply the antibiotics, if he thinks you need it. The private GPs in Malaysia usually do not prescribe medicine for you to get from the pharmacy. You go to the GP, get diagnosed, treated and the doctor would also supply the medicine to you. Personally, I have never bought any antibiotics over the counter without prescription. i don't think its allowed
Yes you need doctors' prescription for antibiotics and it cannot be bought over the counter. Further, Malaysian medical facilities, public & private, are being instructed to not give antibiotics unless absolutely necessarily. I believe due to the emergence of antibiotic resistant 'superbug' worldwide.
Healthcare in Malaysia are top notch. Of course we still have a lot weakness here and there, but overall it's comparable to top Commonwealth countries. If you are a foreigner and have a decent financial (and insurance), you'll have a good access to our excellent private hospital.
I met one lady from Sumatra and asked her why she came to Malacca for medical treatment. Her replied consisting of a few reasons: efficient, friendly, helper provided, nearby hotel, good quality medication - obviously accurate diagnosis, minimal waiting time and perhaps recovery percentage are higher. They are happy to be attended by friendly Malaysian doctors.
We used to live in the UK about 15 years. What Saira said its true, the NHS services are deteriorating compared to years a go due to cutting cost by the UK government. It can be frustrated to make appointment to see GP, and everything has to be through your registered GP unlike in Malaysia, you can see straight specialists. The waiting time is horrendous moreover in over-populated areas. I have experience twice went to emergency where I got burnt and 2nd time I had kidney stone. I had to wait in pain for 4-5 hours before a nurse gave me a painkiller and 2 hours later for checking and treatment. My daughter also had similar experience during COVID-19, she has left alone in a cold bed during winter to get COVID test result first before getting checked by doctor for blood infection. She was shivering without blanket with no heater. In Malaysia we have option to get free treatment at general government hospital, or getting Medical Card which is quite affordable compared to services offered for getting treatment at private hospitals. However, no country is perfect, but Malaysia healthcare system is much better than even developed countries, and still improving.
One thing to bear in mind when you go to small private hospitals in Malaysia is that, when there are complications in the surgery or treatment, the patient is sent to the Government Hospitals to sort out the complications. Sometimes the patient recovers and sometimes doesn't. When the patient sent to the Government Hospital from a Private Hospital eventually dies despite the lastvditch efforts, the Government Hospital gets blamed.
She is actually not exposing UK, so its not personal. What is has said is the truth and is said in factual manner to provide a balanced overview. She has not spoken about uk healthcare in a maligned manner but just as critical fact for those that want to do the migration
In Malaysia public hospitals , you have normal sickness like fever , cough , headache (outpatient treatment ) , you pay only RM1 and same day they will treat you . If you are on an emergency , they will treat you immediately . If you complain you have a chest pain , they will treat you immediately . We have free medical care basically for all citizens . Of course for private , you have to pay much more , they hv to attend to you immediately . Malaysia have one of the best heart surgery hospitals in the world . IJN . A lot of expats come here for that . For citizens , depending on the income , the government subsidizes , relatively much cheaper . In general ,government hospital ls and clinics are free for citizens .. Malaysia has one of the best medical care for its citizens..free for all .. Sorry , the doctor has not been able to provide you with a full picture , especially on the government hospitals . He is more concern on private hospitals , he never worked in our government hospitals , so he does not know much . For your info , the best facilities are in government hospitals .
i think the free stuffs would ended soon for Malaysian. My neighbor was hospitalised due to fracture of his hip, underwent surgery & was charged almost RM10k at public hospital (he is 70 yrs old)
This is not true for foreigners, I has heart attack symptoms in penang and went to the general hospital and had to pay almost 200rm before they would even look at me. I’m just lucky that it turned out not to be serious otherwise it would have cost an arm and a leg
Private hospital....generally about RM 80 to 100 for non-emergency treatment with an MO within the hour. Specialist consultation without medicine is RM150-200 and in case of + some minor procedure up to RM300...all within the hour. Medicines would be ++. FYI in the 1970s and 80s, Malaysia had up to 30,000 students every year in GB doing all sorts of degrees. I was one of those as an architecture/engineering student in North London in 1979. So finding a Dr who graduated from Ireland (the hotbed for Malaysian medical students during my time apart from Egypt and India) and from the UK is quite common in Malaysia. In fact the wife of the current Malaysian PM, is one of the former top students/award winner of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland RCSI.
@@kayhirano The info I've given is quite general...and may differ here and there. In fact, that's the rate I paid the past 2 weeks for an Inguinal Hernia Consultation with a General Surgeon and a separate ENT scope and consultation with an ENT Surgeon including a minor procedure of removing impacted earwax at the Avisena Specialist Hospital in Shah Alam. I also went through a Hernioplasty last Tuesday by open surgery at the same hospital last week. I expected a market rate fee of RM10-12k (for non-laparoscopy surgery) but was pleasantly discharged at a final bill tally of RM7,000😅
For semi-private hospitals (university teaching hospitals) is cheaper For UiTM at least, non-emergency treatment is RM15 for locals (double for foreigners), maybe you can see the MO in 1-2hrs Meds for local are subsidised except for the specialized meds such as rivaroxaban (blood thinner), symbicort (asthma meds) etc For foreigners,meds will be paid in full i reckon We can also opt for delivery services for the meds, paying RM5.60 - RM 6 for the fees
There is no charge for Malaysian senior citizen; my usual regular treatment is in Government Clinic. When I had an itchy skin eczema, they referred me to Skin Specialist in Hospital. Since than I am on regular basis taking medication from the Hospital. Of course, there are so many people seeking treatment in hospital and those who can afford they go to private hospital. Private hospital gives good and fast services. I had an experience warded in Pantai Hospital in VVIP ward. It is like 5-star hotel and the food are fantastic. They even served steak (there is menu for you to choose) and served teatime with fruits. My next-door neighbor was Public Bank T.S. Teh In short, how much can you afford? The ward that I stayed was RM700 per night. Just lucky me, Pantai upgraded me into that ward since my record indicated I was their regular patient. My entitlement was only 1st class ward. I never dream and never know such VVIP ward existed. It is fantastic and the services is fantastic. Physiotherapist comes to meet me in my room instead of you should walk to the physio department for your treatment. There are many private hospitals, and for those from UK will find the hospital bill really cheap. Well, the government hospital has improved a lot. The nurses and doctors were polite. Unlike in the 70s or 80s the nurses were more like prison warden talking to you like giving instructions. Now is so much different for the better. As senior citizens I have lots of time, so I don't mind so much waiting. With smart phone or tablets, can watch Netflix or UA-cam while waiting for your turn. In government hospital they give you generic medicine because of cheaper procurement. But I can tell you the medicine is as good as it can get. Conclusion: 1. Got to see GP in private clinics if just a normal headache or influenzas 2. Go to Private Hospital e.g. Pantai, SJMC, KPJ, Asunta, Thomson if you have more serious issues and are financially sound. 3. Go to Government Hospital e.g. GHKL, UMMC, HUKM, - you need to get referral letter from government clinic (Klinik Kesihatan) 4. Go to government Clinic - non-citizen pay RM40 for treatment. They are good doctors there. Thorough check and prescribe you medicine. If they found that you need in-depth treatment they will refer you to specialist in government hospital. (Main requirement is that you must be very patient.)
@@lorraineng683Lol - Yes it is. I was warded in Selayang Hospital back in 2013. From the security guards to the janitors to the nurses, specialists and consultants, they were impeccable. I cannot thank them enough for their fast action in helping me go through my illness.
Thank You for this video, really useful to know. I think your fanbase will 'all' be moving over to Malaysia sooner or later after watching your videos. I researched once where in the world would you find the most hospitable nation. It was Iranian and Malaysian people, top in being the most kind and warming of people towards guests and visitors. My heart has fallen for one 😍.. 💓
In the long run. Perhaps Malaysia is a little further from hot spots. The disputed South China Sea and Taiwan is 1000km away. Iran already has a target on its back. I hope not though, I love Iran.
Foreigner can apply for Medical Takaful/Insurance. 2 main things needed are passport (or other verification ID accepted in system) and Malaysian (opened) bank account.
Salam and thank you Nomad capitalist talked about healthcare in Malaysia 🇲🇾 He said; he did a complete blood 🩸 work and check ups for 300$ at an international hospital 🏥 I had saved it, but now I forgot where I saved it. He said; most of the Drs are western trained and speak English. Salam and thank you again 🇮🇶🇺🇸
When I was a GCE A level student in UK I remember reading that;70% of UK medical and engineering graduates leave the UK. No. 1 Reason ? Bad weather and better salaries in the US.
Yes nomad capitalist favourite hospital in Malaysia. .. It was the Prince Court Hospital. Basically there are few good private hospitals such as prince court, gleneagle, pantai, kpj, columbia, sunway, subang medical centre
So let me just clarify to anybody interested as well - If you are a foreigner and you want medical treatment you can also pay in cash / credit card if you do not qualify or are excluded from medical insurance. Many people just do this in Malaysia and depending on your case most scans, medications and operations are still affordable under private.
Hot oil splash and get into my eyes recently.. i went to the hospital.. they ask me to go to emergency.. i went there at 8pm.. they give me early treatment at the yellow emergency room and i got to see a doctor specialized in eyes at 930pm. She treat my eyes. I went home at 1030pm... The next day i went to see her again eventhough its not her working day (she told me just come and register at the emergency).. got my eyes treat for second time.. met again the day after next day for 3rd treatment.. (by this time my eyes got better) got two days mc...going for future checkup tomorrow.. super fast and good.
My experience as an outpatient in SP Pantai Hospital… PHC6 - RM 90.00. Consultation with a cardiologist, outpatient services and medication - RM 71.70.
Normal condition for personal medical insurance/ takaful policy coverage (hospitalisation): 30 days waiting period (except for accident), 120 days for specified illness, pre-existing illness (and related) is not covered. You may need to pay & claim for policy under two years but after that (2 years) you can easily obtain Guarantee Letter for cashless treatment (depending on the coverage and you must get referral letter from GP for the admission).
From what i heard and relatice experience.. we just go to private for the luxurious treatment (you got what u pay).. if they cant treat the patient usually the case will move to goverment/public hospital cause the best are there...
If you have insurance , the private hospital will maximize the charges . If you pay cash , the rates is much lower . But they are not telling you this . Our public hospitals are generous . Not too worry .
Frm my experience in private hospitals , I have to request/ insist on certain “expensive” test like scans etc cos they are worried of being told off by patients when they got the bill. 😅
Private hospital focuses on your peace of mind. Not just the environment, but also the way the doctors convey bad news or communicate with you, and this extends to the services (tests) they offered. Better to cover all bases than to live in regret. They still adhere to "do no harm" oath so they won't be quick to suggest surgeries, unlike their Indonesian counterparts.
In reality, cheap & fast Public healthcare system doesn't exist. I know some countries have a totally free medical health care system and they are facing the same problem, which is long queues. At least in Malaysia, all the Public General Hospital (hospital besar) in every state are well equipped & (almost FOC for all Malaysian). And we also have dedicated Public Cancer Centre in Putrajaya as well as a National Heart Centre in Kuala Lumpur. In addition there are also University medical centres, owned & run by local Universities, namely UiTM, UM, UKM, UPM, USM which are staffed with highly competent specialist & consultant
As muslims, 1st thing is to choose takaful system (very similar to insurance) but all the system are shariah compliant and most insurance company provide the service
Everything the doctor said about the insurence was great and most people will not understand insurance language , but when he said the insurence will not take if you have pre-exisitance is scary.
The guest doctor mentioned months to get a specialist and MRI is quite surprising. I was using gov hospital so far meeting two types of specialists - one with mri scan, and it was fast, and my case in no way emergency! But maybe he was told to say that for sales purpose?
Yes, it's true. Depending on locality & available facilities, it could be months. My friend got to wait for 5 to 6 months for re arrange MRI..we got that equipment only at 2 GH here in Perak
I think your videos are good but you have to allow your guests to talk explain more than comparison to UK...plus simple names for medical issues like about your father I did not understand. Thank you
I had a severe asthma attack 4yrs ago, they sent me to the ICU, i stayed there for 2days, then another 1 day in the general ward (4 in a room) i was charged RM6000 ...this is at Columbia (private)
was admitted a few years ago in Pantai...as long as you have a medical card insurance, that would help a lot. Nonetheless, Pantai Hosp is one of the best.
That's what I love about private healthcare. If you got money and want immediate treatment it's perfect. I was in Bangladesh for 2 months and when I fell sick just paying for immediate treatment was blessed. In the UK phoning at 8.30 for an appointment and speaking to a nosey receptionist telling me to call back tomorrow is horrific.
31:30 For common blue collar workers, our medical are usually covered under the government scheme of SOCSO where both the employers and employees will pay for a small amount every month, which covers accidents at work, travelling to and from work, etc. And our auto insurance also covers accidents, so it's not really necessary to take extra medical insurance. And that's why they frequent public cinics and hospitals more than the private for cases other than accidents.
better to choose takaful for muslim rather than insurance. you have option here. it is like to choose islamic bank facilities rather than haram banking facilities.
Some govt hospitals have a private wing . You can pay cash or via insurance. You can get good rooms n specialist care. So far thers mny small govt clinics all over town. Thy have drs ambulance dental care n pregnant women n babbies section. So far very good.
It depends on where u stay in Malaysia, probably in dense populated area like KL, the waiting time for specialist in public hospital can be longer, but in my place...which is in East malaysia, the waiting time is not that long, depends on what specialist u require to see, some times it is around 1 week to 2 months, then again, it depends on cases, emergency or urgent cases, the waiting time will be shorten
Saira: asks a question Doctor: tries to answer it Saira: butts in and starts talking about her own experiences Sorry but to be a good interviewer you need to let the guy talk!
If you have an accident or trauma, you go to a public hospital and not private hospitals because no private hospitals can afford a trauma center 24/7. They only have A &E. Public hospitals have trauma doctors, surgeons, anesthesia doctors on standby, specialist nurses on standby 24/7. Private hospitals can’t do this because of bottom lines.
At pantai hospital ayer keroh we have 1 resident and 1 sessional advanced trauma orthopaedic surgeon. We frequently get RTA cases from Plus highway because we are the closest hospital
The larger private hospitals in Malaysia (Tier 1 hospitals - where all tertiary care with high-end newer equipment with adequate well-trained doctors, nurses and paramedics) do have 24-hour Emergency Departments with Resident Emergency Care Physician Specialists, rostered Anaesthetists on-call and General Surgeons on-call PLUS always a dedicated Emergency Operating Room on 24-hour standby. In an emergency, always head for the nearest large hospital withan Emergency Department, whether it is a public or private hospital as time is very important. Late arrival always causes more complications
Oh my God, what the heck is happening in England? That’s a totally screwed up system. How does one wait for MRI for 18 months? If they had terminal illness they’d die before they get diagnosed
War in Ukraine have direct impact on UK. UK getting much worst Rishi Sunak are more interested to send Storm Shadow to Ukraine for proxy war against Russia. This is bad move by UK. When UK keep criticized Russia and worst UK and NATO are aggressive towards Russia. I don't think UK can sustained their energy crisis and their economy going is down.
Hi Saira, just want to share my experience going into emergency at private hospital during weekend. The fee would be extra as compared to weekday. This applies the same when you’re going there on weekday after office hours. Every private hospital is different from another. If you have bad experience with some, you can always go to another. Just like hotel. We shop around and turn into their regular if they met our standards. I hope you find your favourite private hospital in Malacca. I went to Pantai Ayer keroh even though I’m from KL. I’m still waiting your video on your kid’s school . Are they home tutoring or you chose to send them to the Private İnternational School? as Malaysian International School is just out of our budget, I would say for majority of us.
Not all are roses though. Only a fraction of people in Malaysia have private healthcare insurance. For most of the everyday Joe, private healthcare can be out of reach. Malaysia sorely needs to invest into primary healthcare on a larger scale. Also Saira is looking from a perspective from someone who has earned in sterling pounds. That said, a two tier healthcare system works, as people with insurance or with $$$ can expedite their care without congesting the government hospitals. Win win.
I really want to move over there as I have disabilities and hate being on benefits here, and with being in and out of hospital alot I just don’t feel comfortable living here anymore, pleaseee if you can do a video of how to move over there and if its doable for someone who can’t actually work
People who are over 40 and have diabetes or any other serious conditions, if insurance does not cover them, then what do they have to do? What options do they have?
Either pay from your own pocket at private or get treatment from public hospitals/ clinics. But of course it's a continuous process..check up, blood tests, meds & food consumption advise. Hence, it's a go- back visit in public hospitals while private will costs more money for any treatment
Malaysia general hospital are good .Is only the ward doest not meet my heart . Anyway all severe illness are better to Goverment General Hospital .We have good doctors .

I am considering traveling to Malaysia to address the gut issues I’ve been experiencing over the past few months. Could anyone recommend a medical tourism agency that can assist with insurance, trip planning, accommodation, and doctor appointments? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for the information. I wonder, whether it's a good idea to live in Malaysia, but shop around for good health insurance from surrounding countries, such as, Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia, which you then fly to whenever you needed it. I think Malaysia and Singapore are the most expensive countries for medical tourism and health insurances
You should know Malaysia healthcare cost is lower than indonesia and the treatments are on point. While in Indonesia the doctor always give wrong treatment, medicine and surgery, but with very expensive charges. That's why hundreds of thousands of Indonesians come to Malaysia every year for health tourism. They don't believe in their own doctors, hospitals and healthcare systems. They even come to Malaysia only to make medical check up and don't like to have medical check up at Indonesia
@@adadisini2898 I don't believe Malaysia health system is cheaper than Indonesia. Most likely only rich Indonesian come to Malaysia for private hospitals.
Its cheaper and far more efficient. Malysians only pay $0.25 for an outpatient visit. Foreigners even get treatment first without guarantee of payment in any emergency. Thats why foreigners have millions of unpaid health charges in public hospitals@@Hornscope
another fact about malaysian healthcare, due to the policy of treating the patient 1st without the needs to have the patient financial background.. malaysian healthcare suffering loss of million of dollar, because the patient just go away after their treatment, this contribute majorly by the immigrant..
OMG why talking about medical insurance with doctor? Insurance should talk to insurance agent. Insurance agent can give full explanation on the coverage you can get out of the medical insurance (here call it medical card)
This vid is great but I'm afraid it didn't achieve the objective It should be to share information & promoting Malaysia healthcare for foreigners..Yet just look at all the commenters here; VAST MAJORITY OF THEM WERE LOCAL MALAYSIANS Local Malaysian does not need this vid. We do aware, know & enjoy the service. The group that really need to watch this vid is expats I do hope your vid can finally reach those expats who really want to learn about Malaysia's offer for healthcare.
i am curious....why u ask the internal physician ? u should go to the manager ...they suppose to be less busier than the physician... and promote their hospital better
Why does that matter? It's not about promotion, just wanting truth to be told. Probably the manager asked the physician to attend to Saira's interview because the manager is busy and the physician happened to be free at that time. I mean... you know... why does it matter? Just enjoy the interview.
Please share expat IT jobs in Malaysia,people want to migrate to Malaysia from Canada,because of attractive Visa opportunities,but no job opportunity is an issue
The private hospital in My is just ok. Two thing that will make private hospitals in My is not ok, lack of specialist & equipment. I don't blame the private side, it is so expensive to hire specialist & to maintain medical machines & equipment. If you got money & having no serious sickness such heart problem, cancer, stroke, brain & organ injury, yeah you can go to private hospital for good care. However if you got serious sickness or very bad injury you need to go to public hospital, the care is less such less comfy, the specialist doctors are top notch & the equipment are great (not the best). Just remember, doctors & all medical staff are super duper busy in public hospital cause its almost free & obviously so many patients. Both are great depends on your budget & need not what you want. It is about health that we can not compromise. Just take what you need.
Hi, I’m an ex insurance agent. Most private hospitals in Malaysia collaborate with local insurance company. It best to check with your Medicare representative on their international policy especially Malaysia. For example I do subscribe to local insurance and if I want to use it internationally usually it’s Pay and Claim basis.
A good start in the beginning, but u then turned the interview around and went in boring details about the UK, while (from the headline), visitors landed to your video in search of information about Malaysian Healthcare and not the UK. Perhaps you should change the headline to "Malaysia - UK HEALTHCARE COMPARISON". I though like your channel

I think not many European, UK, US citizens knows Malaysia medical treatment or facility, only by mouth to mouth talk (someone has experience here before) . Well you know, Malaysia are underated country but really that's okay for me & others Malaysian too I think.
I want to clarify something, please take note:
1. In public hospitals there are two situations.
First, in case of emergency the services given including diagnostics, treatment and medication, there is no waiting period. They will treat immediately.
Second, if you are a registered patient i.e you data is already in you then do follow ups and have an appointment card, the service given will be thorough and if any diagnostic to be done, it will be scheduled for you and it could be there and then or sent to another better equiped hospital. Particularly like CT Scan and MRI it will not take 3 months but just over a month, but there is no rush, it is not and emergency! Remember for emergencies, they will do it ASAP.
Of course on the appointment day, there will be a waiting time from 3 to 6 hours. But be wise, do some planning and fill the waiting time with something useful.
All of the above is free for Malaysian citizens.
Non-citizens have to pay but it is definitely affordable for people like Saira Hayati, may it is peanuts.
So please give the proper impression so people really understand.
2. For private hospitals, of course you have to pay and the hospitals will try to give their best services to compete with other private hospitals.
Saira wont let you give proper or detailed impression...she's fast😅

In Malaysia we have option to get free treatment at general government hospital, or getting Medical Card which is quite affordable compared to services offered for getting treatment at private hospitals. However, no country is perfect, but Malaysia healthcare system is much better than even developed countries, and still improving.
Nope uk is better then malaysia....
@@narutokun5765 Have u ever lived in the UK before?
You are comparing NHS to private healthcare in Malaysia. That’s apple to oranges. Govt hospitals here in Malaysia is worst than NHS.
One thing to bear in mind when you go to small private hospitals in Malaysia is that, when there are complications in the surgery or treatment, the patient is sent to the Government Hospitals to sort out the complications. Sometimes the patient recovers and sometimes doesn't. When the patient sent to the Government Hospital from a Private Hospital eventually dies despite the lastvditch efforts, the Government Hospital gets blamed.
Saira is really exposing UK government and its really funny
🤐
Then we Malaysian should have more appreciation to our country & government as well. How lucky we are.
She is actually not exposing UK, so its not personal. What is has said is the truth and is said in factual manner to provide a balanced overview. She has not spoken about uk healthcare in a maligned manner but just as critical fact for those that want to do the migration
What a soft spoken doctor. ✨
That is typical of Malay folks
In Malaysia public hospitals , you have normal sickness like fever , cough , headache (outpatient treatment ) , you pay only RM1 and same day they will treat you .
If you are on an emergency , they will treat you immediately .
If you complain you have a chest pain , they will treat you immediately .
We have free medical care basically for all citizens .
Of course for private , you have to pay much more , they hv to attend to you immediately .
Malaysia have one of the best heart surgery hospitals in the world . IJN . A lot of expats come here for that .
For citizens , depending on the income , the government subsidizes , relatively much cheaper .
In general ,government hospital ls and clinics are free for citizens ..
Malaysia has one of the best medical care for its citizens..free for all ..
Sorry , the doctor has not been able to provide you with a full picture , especially on the government hospitals . He is more concern on private hospitals , he never worked in our government hospitals , so he does not know much .
For your info , the best facilities are in government hospitals .
Agree.....the most sophisticated equipment and facility, and top specialists are in the Government Hospitals.
i think the free stuffs would ended soon for Malaysian. My neighbor was hospitalised due to fracture of his hip, underwent surgery & was charged almost RM10k at public hospital (he is 70 yrs old)
I have diabetes and hbp... got free medicine everytime.. got stern advice if miss my appoinment and didnt take care of myself too.. 😅😅 i felt loved...
This is not true for foreigners, I has heart attack symptoms in penang and went to the general hospital and had to pay almost 200rm before they would even look at me. I’m just lucky that it turned out not to be serious otherwise it would have cost an arm and a leg
@@travellinglostsoul7191 as foreigner i think it applies everywhere one have to pay for the medical services
We have Islamic insurance here in Malaysia which is called Takafful. Many companies provide that type of Insurance.
That’s interesting. How is it different from regular insurance?
@@supersleepymedic you can Google yourself. Just type in ' How takaful work'
Private hospital....generally about RM 80 to 100 for non-emergency treatment with an MO within the hour.
Specialist consultation without medicine is RM150-200 and in case of + some minor procedure up to RM300...all within the hour. Medicines would be ++.
FYI in the 1970s and 80s, Malaysia had up to 30,000 students every year in GB doing all sorts of degrees. I was one of those as an architecture/engineering student in North London in 1979. So finding a Dr who graduated from Ireland (the hotbed for Malaysian medical students during my time apart from Egypt and India) and from the UK is quite common in Malaysia.
In fact the wife of the current Malaysian PM, is one of the former top students/award winner of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland RCSI.
Great infos, thank you .🌹Planning to move back to Malaysia soon , having lived abroad for more than half of my life .
@@kayhirano The info I've given is quite general...and may differ here and there. In fact, that's the rate I paid the past 2 weeks for an Inguinal Hernia Consultation with a General Surgeon and a separate ENT scope and consultation with an ENT Surgeon including a minor procedure of removing impacted earwax at the Avisena Specialist Hospital in Shah Alam.
I also went through a Hernioplasty last Tuesday by open surgery at the same hospital last week. I expected a market rate fee of RM10-12k (for non-laparoscopy surgery) but was pleasantly discharged at a final bill tally of RM7,000😅
For semi-private hospitals (university teaching hospitals) is cheaper
For UiTM at least, non-emergency treatment is RM15 for locals (double for foreigners), maybe you can see the MO in 1-2hrs
Meds for local are subsidised except for the specialized meds such as rivaroxaban (blood thinner), symbicort (asthma meds) etc
For foreigners,meds will be paid in full i reckon
We can also opt for delivery services for the meds, paying RM5.60 - RM 6 for the fees
Love the video, lots of thoughtful questions and very helpful for foreigners before coming there.
Glad it was helpful!
@@SairaHayati thanks for the quick response. Will contact you when go to KL.
Very excellent video. Gives an insight of medical treatment in a hospital.
As Malaysian. Wow! What a surprise! Malaysian General Hospitals that we always complain are far...far....better than UK's hospital!
LOL - no its not.
There is no charge for Malaysian senior citizen; my usual regular treatment is in Government Clinic. When I had an itchy skin eczema, they referred me to Skin Specialist in Hospital. Since than I am on regular basis taking medication from the Hospital. Of course, there are so many people seeking treatment in hospital and those who can afford they go to private hospital.
Private hospital gives good and fast services. I had an experience warded in Pantai Hospital in VVIP ward. It is like 5-star hotel and the food are fantastic. They even served steak (there is menu for you to choose) and served teatime with fruits. My next-door neighbor was Public Bank T.S. Teh
In short, how much can you afford? The ward that I stayed was RM700 per night. Just lucky me, Pantai upgraded me into that ward since my record indicated I was their regular patient. My entitlement was only 1st class ward. I never dream and never know such VVIP ward existed. It is fantastic and the services is fantastic. Physiotherapist comes to meet me in my room instead of you should walk to the physio department for your treatment.
There are many private hospitals, and for those from UK will find the hospital bill really cheap.
Well, the government hospital has improved a lot. The nurses and doctors were polite. Unlike in the 70s or 80s the nurses were more like prison warden talking to you like giving instructions. Now is so much different for the better.
As senior citizens I have lots of time, so I don't mind so much waiting. With smart phone or tablets, can watch Netflix or UA-cam while waiting for your turn. In government hospital they give you generic medicine because of cheaper procurement. But I can tell you the medicine is as good as it can get.
Conclusion:
1. Got to see GP in private clinics if just a normal headache or influenzas
2. Go to Private Hospital e.g. Pantai, SJMC, KPJ, Asunta, Thomson if you have more serious issues and are financially sound.
3. Go to Government Hospital e.g. GHKL, UMMC, HUKM, - you need to get referral letter from government clinic (Klinik Kesihatan)
4. Go to government Clinic - non-citizen pay RM40 for treatment. They are good doctors there. Thorough check and prescribe you medicine. If they found that you need in-depth treatment they will refer you to specialist in government hospital. (Main requirement is that you must be very patient.)
@@lorraineng683Lol - Yes it is. I was warded in Selayang Hospital back in 2013. From the security guards to the janitors to the nurses, specialists and consultants, they were impeccable. I cannot thank them enough for their fast action in helping me go through my illness.
Great level of detail Saira. You are asking all the right questions.
Thank you so much 🙂
Thank You for this video, really useful to know. I think your fanbase will 'all' be moving over to Malaysia sooner or later after watching your videos.
I researched once where in the world would you find the most hospitable nation. It was Iranian and Malaysian people, top in being the most kind and warming of people towards guests and visitors.
My heart has fallen for one 😍.. 💓
I hope so!
In the long run. Perhaps Malaysia is a little further from hot spots. The disputed South China Sea and Taiwan is 1000km away. Iran already has a target on its back. I hope not though, I love Iran.
Foreigner can apply for Medical Takaful/Insurance. 2 main things needed are passport (or other verification ID accepted in system) and Malaysian (opened) bank account.
Salam and thank you
Nomad capitalist talked about healthcare in Malaysia 🇲🇾
He said; he did a complete blood 🩸 work and check ups for 300$ at an international hospital 🏥
I had saved it, but now I forgot where I saved it. He said; most of the Drs are western trained and speak English.

When I was a GCE A level student in UK
I remember reading that;70% of UK medical and engineering graduates leave the UK.
No. 1 Reason ?
Bad weather and better salaries in the US.
I think it was this one
Gleneagles Hospital
They have different locations
Yes nomad capitalist favourite hospital in Malaysia. .. It was the Prince Court Hospital. Basically there are few good private hospitals such as prince court, gleneagle, pantai, kpj, columbia, sunway, subang medical centre
So let me just clarify to anybody interested as well - If you are a foreigner and you want medical treatment you can also pay in cash / credit card if you do not qualify or are excluded from medical insurance. Many people just do this in Malaysia and depending on your case most scans, medications and operations are still affordable under private.
Many indonesians go to melaka and penang for medical services.
Hot oil splash and get into my eyes recently.. i went to the hospital.. they ask me to go to emergency.. i went there at 8pm.. they give me early treatment at the yellow emergency room and i got to see a doctor specialized in eyes at 930pm. She treat my eyes. I went home at 1030pm... The next day i went to see her again eventhough its not her working day (she told me just come and register at the emergency).. got my eyes treat for second time.. met again the day after next day for 3rd treatment.. (by this time my eyes got better) got two days mc...going for future checkup tomorrow.. super fast and good.
I love you, sister
You really encourage me
You speak what I have been trying to explain to others
Tysm, welcome Dr thanks for coming on the channel❤
Yes he’s such and amazing dr mashallah
My experience as an outpatient in SP Pantai Hospital… PHC6 - RM 90.00. Consultation with a cardiologist, outpatient services and medication - RM 71.70.
Hi Saira thank you for another insightful and informative video, could you also review the Dental services in Malaysia. Thank you
Normal condition for personal medical insurance/ takaful policy coverage (hospitalisation): 30 days waiting period (except for accident), 120 days for specified illness, pre-existing illness (and related) is not covered. You may need to pay & claim for policy under two years but after that (2 years) you can easily obtain Guarantee Letter for cashless treatment (depending on the coverage and you must get referral letter from GP for the admission).
From what i heard and relatice experience.. we just go to private for the luxurious treatment (you got what u pay).. if they cant treat the patient usually the case will move to goverment/public hospital cause the best are there...
If you have insurance , the private hospital will maximize the charges . If you pay cash , the rates is much lower . But they are not telling you this .
Our public hospitals are generous . Not too worry .
Dr Fikri is selling his hospital well.
But the fact remains that Private hospitals tend to over charge patients and do unnecessary tests to make money
How else would they handsomely pay their doctors right
😀😀😀more take compared to give l think……it is the way how hospitals make money
Frm my experience in private hospitals , I have to request/ insist on certain “expensive” test like scans etc cos they are worried of being told off by patients when they got the bill. 😅
Is normal practice in all private hospital.
Private hospital focuses on your peace of mind. Not just the environment, but also the way the doctors convey bad news or communicate with you, and this extends to the services (tests) they offered. Better to cover all bases than to live in regret. They still adhere to "do no harm" oath so they won't be quick to suggest surgeries, unlike their Indonesian counterparts.
Very informative. Thank you so much.
In reality, cheap & fast Public healthcare system doesn't exist. I know some countries have a totally free medical health care system and they are facing the same problem, which is long queues. At least in Malaysia, all the Public General Hospital (hospital besar) in every state are well equipped & (almost FOC for all Malaysian). And we also have dedicated Public Cancer Centre in Putrajaya as well as a National Heart Centre in Kuala Lumpur. In addition there are also University medical centres, owned & run by local Universities, namely UiTM, UM, UKM, UPM, USM which are staffed with highly competent specialist & consultant
As muslims, 1st thing is to choose takaful system (very similar to insurance) but all the system are shariah compliant and most insurance company provide the service
Everything the doctor said about the insurence was great and most people will not understand insurance language , but when he said the insurence will not take if you have pre-exisitance is scary.
The guest doctor mentioned months to get a specialist and MRI is quite surprising. I was using gov hospital so far meeting two types of specialists - one with mri scan, and it was fast, and my case in no way emergency! But maybe he was told to say that for sales purpose?
Yes, it's true. Depending on locality & available facilities, it could be months. My friend got to wait for 5 to 6 months for re arrange MRI..we got that equipment only at 2 GH here in Perak

In a private hospital A normal dengue fever and with 4 bedded room The total cost is RM6500.
My wife and i just came back from Malaysia after having dental treatment and had a great service and much cheaper than New Zealand
I had a severe asthma attack 4yrs ago, they sent me to the ICU, i stayed there for 2days, then another 1 day in the general ward (4 in a room) i was charged RM6000 ...this is at Columbia (private)
As a regular user of a Public/Government Hospital, waiting period toget MRI or CT scan usually around 1 month the most.
was admitted a few years ago in Pantai...as long as you have a medical card insurance, that would help a lot. Nonetheless, Pantai Hosp is one of the best.
In Canada , where I’m from, you are lucky to get out of emergency in less than 10 hours

That sounds scary to me ...
Thank you very much for this video I was waiting for🥰🥰
I'm a Dental Public Health Specialist.
I'd love to work in Malaysia. Conducting Outreach programmes in the village schools and communities.
Great video. It would be great to make a video about taxes there for foreigners.
That's what I love about private healthcare. If you got money and want immediate treatment it's perfect. I was in Bangladesh for 2 months and when I fell sick just paying for immediate treatment was blessed. In the UK phoning at 8.30 for an appointment and speaking to a nosey receptionist telling me to call back tomorrow is horrific.
31:30 For common blue collar workers, our medical are usually covered under the government scheme of SOCSO where both the employers and employees will pay for a small amount every month, which covers accidents at work, travelling to and from work, etc. And our auto insurance also covers accidents, so it's not really necessary to take extra medical insurance. And that's why they frequent public cinics and hospitals more than the private for cases other than accidents.
Salaams. Can you consider making a Vlog on the Rubber industry plantations of the rubber trees and palm oil industries.
better to choose takaful for muslim rather than insurance. you have option here. it is like to choose islamic bank facilities rather than haram banking facilities.
Some govt hospitals have a private wing . You can pay cash or via insurance. You can get good rooms n specialist care. So far thers mny small govt clinics all over town. Thy have drs ambulance dental care n pregnant women n babbies section. So far very good.

It depends on where u stay in Malaysia, probably in dense populated area like KL, the waiting time for specialist in public hospital can be longer, but in my place...which is in East malaysia, the waiting time is not that long, depends on what specialist u require to see, some times it is around 1 week to 2 months, then again, it depends on cases, emergency or urgent cases, the waiting time will be shorten

Foster child or own child should be treated equally. Don’t say it’s worse if it’s your own child
If you have an accident or trauma, you go to a public hospital and not private hospitals because no private hospitals can afford a trauma center 24/7. They only have A &E. Public hospitals have trauma doctors, surgeons, anesthesia doctors on standby, specialist nurses on standby 24/7. Private hospitals can’t do this because of bottom lines.
At pantai hospital ayer keroh we have 1 resident and 1 sessional advanced trauma orthopaedic surgeon. We frequently get RTA cases from Plus highway because we are the closest hospital
The larger private hospitals in Malaysia (Tier 1 hospitals - where all tertiary care with high-end newer equipment with adequate well-trained doctors, nurses and paramedics) do have 24-hour Emergency Departments with Resident Emergency Care Physician Specialists, rostered Anaesthetists on-call and General Surgeons on-call PLUS always a dedicated Emergency Operating Room on 24-hour standby. In an emergency, always head for the nearest large hospital withan Emergency Department, whether it is a public or private hospital as time is very important. Late arrival always causes more complications
Kudos to the doctor for enduring some of the annoying lines of questioning!

Uh it is an interview, off the cuff questions are expected! Nothing annoying about it.. dude

Hi Saira, just want to share my experience going into emergency at private hospital during weekend. The fee would be extra as compared to weekday. This applies the same when you’re going there on weekday after office hours.
Every private hospital is different from another. If you have bad experience with some, you can always go to another. Just like hotel. We shop around and turn into their regular if they met our standards.
I hope you find your favourite private hospital in Malacca. I went to Pantai Ayer keroh even though I’m from KL. I’m still waiting your video on your kid’s school . Are they home tutoring or you chose to send them to the Private İnternational School? as Malaysian International School is just out of our budget, I would say for majority of us.
Could you please find out about the cost for estrogen patches, or if they’re even available. Thank you!
Not all are roses though. Only a fraction of people in Malaysia have private healthcare insurance. For most of the everyday Joe, private healthcare can be out of reach. Malaysia sorely needs to invest into primary healthcare on a larger scale. Also Saira is looking from a perspective from someone who has earned in sterling pounds. That said, a two tier healthcare system works, as people with insurance or with $$$ can expedite their care without congesting the government hospitals. Win win.
My God, poor Doctor. She is asking him questions like it's a Bazaar
Thank you this was very informative
I really want to move over there as I have disabilities and hate being on benefits here, and with being in and out of hospital alot I just don’t feel comfortable living here anymore, pleaseee if you can do a video of how to move over there and if its doable for someone who can’t actually work
People who are over 40 and have diabetes or any other serious conditions, if insurance does not cover them, then what do they have to do? What options do they have?
Either pay from your own pocket at private or get treatment from public hospitals/ clinics. But of course it's a continuous process..check up, blood tests, meds & food consumption advise. Hence, it's a go- back visit in public hospitals while private will costs more money for any treatment
I went to Prince Court Hospital in KL. I can’t believe that I can say that I like to go to a hospital 😆
Malaysia general hospital are good .Is only the ward doest not meet my heart . Anyway all severe illness are better to Goverment General Hospital .We have good doctors .

I am considering traveling to Malaysia to address the gut issues I’ve been experiencing over the past few months. Could anyone recommend a medical tourism agency that can assist with insurance, trip planning, accommodation, and doctor appointments? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for the information. I wonder, whether it's a good idea to live in Malaysia, but shop around for good health insurance from surrounding countries, such as, Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia, which you then fly to whenever you needed it.
I think Malaysia and Singapore are the most expensive countries for medical tourism and health insurances
Spore surely is, not Msia
You should know Malaysia healthcare cost is lower than indonesia and the treatments are on point. While in Indonesia the doctor always give wrong treatment, medicine and surgery, but with very expensive charges. That's why hundreds of thousands of Indonesians come to Malaysia every year for health tourism. They don't believe in their own doctors, hospitals and healthcare systems. They even come to Malaysia only to make medical check up and don't like to have medical check up at Indonesia
@@adadisini2898 I don't believe Malaysia health system is cheaper than Indonesia. Most likely only rich Indonesian come to Malaysia for private hospitals.
Its cheaper and far more efficient. Malysians only pay $0.25 for an outpatient visit. Foreigners even get treatment first without guarantee of payment in any emergency. Thats why foreigners have millions of unpaid health charges in public hospitals@@Hornscope
Huh... you're putting Malaysia in the same breath with Singapore. Wow... I don't know if it's a compliment or otherwise. Well... do think again
another fact about malaysian healthcare, due to the policy of treating the patient 1st without the needs to have the patient financial background.. malaysian healthcare suffering loss of million of dollar, because the patient just go away after their treatment, this contribute majorly by the immigrant..
forget to mention this happened to public hospital/clinic..
Takaful insurance better

Hehehehehehehehe
🤣🤪😝😸😝😝🤣
i am curious....why u ask the internal physician ? u should go to the manager ...they suppose to be less busier than the physician... and promote their hospital better
Why does that matter? It's not about promotion, just wanting truth to be told. Probably the manager asked the physician to attend to Saira's interview because the manager is busy and the physician happened to be free at that time. I mean... you know... why does it matter? Just enjoy the interview.
BTW sis. This is the correct way of writing Afghan and not Afgan Haha
Do I need a resident permit to buy medical insurance in Malaysia?
Please share expat IT jobs in Malaysia,people want to migrate to Malaysia from Canada,because of attractive Visa opportunities,but no job opportunity is an issue
The private hospital in My is just ok. Two thing that will make private hospitals in My is not ok, lack of specialist & equipment. I don't blame the private side, it is so expensive to hire specialist & to maintain medical machines & equipment.
If you got money & having no serious sickness such heart problem, cancer, stroke, brain & organ injury, yeah you can go to private hospital for good care. However if you got serious sickness or very bad injury you need to go to public hospital, the care is less such less comfy, the specialist doctors are top notch & the equipment are great (not the best). Just remember, doctors & all medical staff are super duper busy in public hospital cause its almost free & obviously so many patients.
Both are great depends on your budget & need not what you want. It is about health that we can not compromise. Just take what you need.
If I have Medicare from USA can I use it there? is local insurance policy mandatory?
Hi, I’m an ex insurance agent. Most private hospitals in Malaysia collaborate with local insurance company. It best to check with your Medicare representative on their international policy especially Malaysia. For example I do subscribe to local insurance and if I want to use it internationally usually it’s Pay and Claim basis.
US Medicare would not cover any of international (oversea) medical expenses you occurred
No! Medicare do not cover. Its cheap in Malaysia. If you can afford to live in Malaysia you definitely can afford insurance.
