private definitely. It's not the illness that kills in public hosp, it's the waiting games that kill. But this statement is only true if you're insured or you're really wealthy.

my dad is undergoing treatment for leukemia at private hosp and until today, cost has come up to about 100k +-. But thank god he's insured. Though there's still waiting games at private hosp, it's much more bearable compared to gov hosp IMO.

And yes, service. Private hospital is able to provide you with comfort. it certainly helps in the patient's morale aspect.


But it's a shame really, where private hospitals in malaysia only cater to middle - high income citizens. Gov should make insurance policies more affordable for lower income people.
