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.

Hi , I've got many friends register just for the red book then skip the check up.
I myself urge my wife to check gov and private , because the private hospital is 2 1/2 hours away , so in case if there is emergency , I can go to government hospital, also take note if you planning to give birth at private clinic, if there is anything complicated , they will send u to gov hospital as well . Btw gov hospital save up a lot of my money, all of check ups, jects are FOC, and my private hospital doctor will just refer to the red book.

Nice... Those money could be saved for so many other important things like diaper, medical care, insurance or even a family trip.

Anyway how was your encounter at gov hospital? Nurse or houseman help your wife deliver?

FPP Putrajaya July 2019
Hospital Putrajaya under Dr. Hazim
1st class ward/room (double bed) - 3D2N C-sec

comment: luckily we are FPP patient, during the registration i do see a lot of the pregnant lady after checkup if its not too urgent they will refer her to another hospital to deliver the baby. Nurses are very patient to explain and guide me & my wife. we manage meet Dr. Hazim 2 times during monthly checkup, he is extremely experienced but due to he is the head of O&G department. he always very busy, a lot of the mother choose him as specialist actually have never meet him before. The other specialists are very experienced & nice as well. Dr. Sapie helped my wife do the emergency c-sec due to baby poop in the tummy while the vagina only opened 3cm. Dr did explain the situation clearly let us choose between can wait another 4 hours to observe since the baby heartbeat is still strong or do emergency c-sec.

overall we have a very good experience. really thanks to all the nurses and doctor who involved.

total RM3360

FPP = Full paying patient, it's a scheme where you can choose your desired doctor in selected hospital. Putrajaya is one of them. My sister in law delivered there and their testimonial on the hospital were mostly positive. And unlike most gov hospital, a proper doctor will deliver your baby in putrajaya hospital.

My wife just give birth to a baby girl at hospital Selayang under Dr.Yu. Around 2k+. Everything is good and no hanky pinky story. Watched with my own eyes the moment my little angel came out till in our arms. Priceless moments. Anyone need to know more about FPP can PM me. Will share what i know. TQ.
