Basically you need to have strategy on visiting KK.
Each time we visit, the time are sure 2 hours from registering till getting back to our car
Don't go morning, but go at afternoon, 3pm schedule.
And if your wife delivered at GH, she will be given priority over the people that deliver elsewhere.
If you want to be a cheapskate and enjoy 5 star hotel, do change your wife's address to Seremban. A new hospital with your requirement is here

Hahah..we are not harming anyone by preferring GH over private. No one gv birth in the alley while we delivered our first.Plus Sealayng hospital is the nearest hospital just 5km while only small2 private hospital nearby with columbia hosp 20km away.wouldnt you want your wife to be safe n sound with the nearest n round the clock ready for her?why would we go to seremban for that?crazy idea from crazy ppl don u think?We trust the medical team over GH who's more ready for emergency unlike private. You may call me cheapskate for my wife.i call it being safe n wise. And trust me,wife n me hv a mutual decision abt this.we have go through all of our options and in our case,gh is the best way.

The newest hospital is built by government, the first hospital meant for O&G only and almost everything inside are white in color.

I have visited KKIA for first check up, but for private, I yet to decide. Should I go private clinic or to the hospital that I plan to deliver for check up?

is that compulsory that the pregnancy women need to go for at least once to government hospital in order for the baby to get injection in government hospital??

Yes, i was told by the nurse that you need to at least visit once klinik kesihatan to register and get the buku merah from the klinik. They when bb wan out you can go to ANY general hospital to deliver. for bb maintainance you can go whichever government hospital to service. Most important is to get the buku merah 1st.

Correct me if i am wrong.

tmn pertama max rm160

Thank you very much ...

Tung Shin hospital cost around RM1xx-RM2xx per checkup.

Tropicana Medical Centre:

Consulatation: RM80.00
Scan: RM 50.00

It will get expensive if you get the medicine. If you want to save some money, you can get the normal supplement like obimin in pharmacy, it cost your around 25rgt while the hospital charge you 60rgt for that medicine alone.

My wife check for the status monthly at Cheras Taman Connaught same row as Ambank. RM70 per visit. The scan is not that clear due to older machine but at least it is cheaper than I went to Taman Pertama that cost me RM100

Nowadays no need to wait 3 months to start check up with klinik kesihatan.

Hi All, after reading all the threat. Still in the middle of dilemma should I go for Private or Gov? After reading lots of good feedback for Gov.

Would like to give a try on the Gov Clinic.

I'm staying in Bukit Jalil, any Gov Clinic nearby?

Thanks.

RM0.
At KKIA.

Consultation: Free
Medication: Free

Before this did check up at private clinic but the check up was like wasting time. Not thorough, doctor was also not really interested to give consultation. Luckily just use company's insurance.

even in banting hospital wanita metro already cost RM310!

100 consultancy
140 pharmacy
70 radiology - ultrasound scan with 1 photo printed

First child or even first checkup suggest you go government hospital/clinic, they will carry out a more detail checking as well as offering you classes to attend.

Cheers

Checkups are pretty much the same anywhere - urine, Hb, blood pressure, weight etc. Waiting time for me at KK is way shorter than private clinics. I get my vitamins and iron tabs there free.

I only go to see O&G specialist because I hv borderline low amniotic fluid. Need to monitor baby's growth for a couple of weeks. Then no need to see her dy till delivery date.

If no complications then there are no influence in the outcome of the baby, except maybe a better peace of mind to the mother and a scan printout for "awwwww" purposes

Checkup at columbia asia puchong is about RM200 each time including consultation fee and the normal ultrasound scan without medicine..

I did at specialist clinic, RM80 include ultrasound, without medicine.

pantai bangsar - around 150 (specialist consultation + ultrasound charge + hospital miscellaneous fee)

park city - 200+ (they charged twice for ultrasound, one paid to doctor and one to hospital )
