Malaysia operates a dual public-private healthcare system. Public hospitals under the Ministry of Health (MOH) charge nominal rates for citizens; foreign nationals pay foreigner rates per the Fees Order. Private hospitals (KPJ, IHH, Sunway, Pantai, Prince Court) accept most international insurance. Expats are advised to obtain comprehensive private health insurance covering hospitalisation, outpatient and evacuation.
