As a foreigner living in Johor Bahru, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Johor Bahru if they have access to public healthcare in Johor Bahru. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Johor Bahru, you will have access to public healthcare, but it is important to note that the public healthcare system primarily caters to Malaysian citizens. While public hospitals and clinics provide affordable healthcare services, you may experience longer waiting times, limited access to specialized treatments, and language barriers with medical staff. It is recommended for foreigners to obtain private health insurance and seek treatment at private hospitals and clinics, which offer a higher standard of care and shorter waiting times," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
