Medical Tourism in Malaysia

We’d planned to get health screenings during our visit to Kuala Lumpur, but Sarah ended up getting total knee replacement surgery! During her recovery, Kevin had other medical things taken care of, and we’ll share some details and costs with you.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
