As a foreigner living in Kuala Lumpur, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Kuala Lumpur if they have access to public healthcare in Kuala Lumpur. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"As a foreigner living in Kuala Lumpur, you will have access to public healthcare, but it is important to note that public healthcare services are primarily designed for Malaysian citizens. Foreigners may be required to pay higher fees for medical treatments and services compared to locals. Public healthcare in Malaysia is generally of good quality, with well-equipped hospitals and qualified medical professionals. However, you may experience longer waiting times and language barriers in public hospitals. Many expats and foreigners prefer to use private healthcare facilities, which offer a higher standard of care and shorter waiting times, but at a higher cost. It is recommended to have comprehensive health insurance to cover any medical expenses while living in Kuala Lumpur," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
