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.

Malaysian Drs are some the best in the world!
Prince Court Medical Centre is classified as a 6 stars hospital. There are other good hospitals too, such as Gleneagles, Sunway, Park City, etc.

star rating system, 5 is the highest
Prince Court was setup and is owned by Petronas. So you can be assured that it's top notch world class service.
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.
I believe both of you made the right choice. Enjoy our Malaysian hospitality, Please come again and spread the good news to your friends, Thank 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.

You’re welcome. Thanks for your comment!
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.
"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.
Glad to see both healthy and keep moving...speedy recovery for Sarah

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.

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.
Speedy recovery Sarah🌷. Enjoy your trip. Selamat datang ke negara kami 🇲🇾😊

Pharmacies are quite lax about prescriptions, unless it's opioids, benzo and psychotropics.
Thank you for sharing.
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.

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).

Yes, we use holistic remedies whenever possible.
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.

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.

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.
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!

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
Maybe you can meet Master Chris Leong for body alignment

Ur video just pop up
Gws!
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.

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.
