Hey all, my wife is a foreigner and she hasn't gotten her PR.
As I know few years back Gov has increased the price of medical care for foreigners without PR status, even though spouse is Malaysian.
Anyone has any information how much does it cost for a foreigner to deliver a baby in gov hospital now? Eg: UMMC / Putrajaya Hospital
Because I was contemplating if the cost to deliver a baby in Gov hospital is so high for a foreigner, might as well go for Private like Sunway Medical / Columbia / KPJ for a more comfortable environment overall.
Also I got a flyer at Sunway medical centre, they're having a promo now and normal delivery cost about RM3,500 - RM4,500, valid until 31st Dec 2018. Excluding some doctor consultation & specialist charges though.
better call the hospital to find out the cost, or check if they published the pricing on their website.
also, its better to stick with the same doctor that perform regular checkup on your wife, if your wife pregnancy got any complication then the delivery cost will be different at those private hospital which will be much more expensive than govt hospital for foreigners
those fancy private hospital tend to charge higher
the charges at HKL you may refer their website
http://www.hkl.gov.my/index.php/advanced-s...ospital-chargesMy wife has just delivered in sep at Tung Shin by Dr Chuah BP, normal delivery, 6d5n stays in single room, total 8k plus
Highly recommend Dr Chuah, but you need to be patience with long queue during checkup.
