You need to find that KKIA that is assigned to your area. You can try to call KKIA to confirm your area or try browsing this website for more info http://jknkl.moh.gov.my/klinik-kkia

gov hospital will not turn you away incase of emergency. But it will take a longer processing time. they will provide the pink book as well.

Benefits registering in nearby KKI - they provide vacination foc and other consultative stuffs. also with the pink book you can actually make a schedule booking for delivery facilities especially for FPP section.

depends on what you want, but nothing to loose relatively

True they wont turn u away. But it u compare a private follow up book and a govt clinic follow up book, the govt one is more comprehensve. For a doctor who has never met u throughout your whole pregnancy and is now delivering you, this pink book tells the whole story.
- serial Urine checks,
-serial BPs,
-Serial Hbs
-Serial weight gain/ loss
- MGTT results
- the book has fetal kick chart
- detailed info about nourishment in pregnancy

For me, it is wiser to follow up in govt clinic (free) with free follow up scans.
U can complement this with private follow ups, detailed scans or 3D/4D.

I know this is a late reply. But this is a reply to future parents out there
Basically u call up these clinics and ask if your place comes under their kawasan.
Each KK covers certain areas, so that it is easier for them to handle this expecting mothers. The nurses especially are further divided into subkawasans. So throughout the pregnancy, u are most likely to meet the same nurses until u have delivered. They will monitor u n baby after the delivery (wound care, mom's nutrition and psychology well being, breast feeding methods, jaundice level)

yup. each kawasan have a KKIA.

my wife follow up in KL, but give birth in KPJ Pahang.
while she was in Pahang, the KKIA over there follow up on her condition (and baby as well).
Then go back KL follow up by the KL clinic.

Most of the Klinik Kesihatan (KK) provides a full range of services for all sorts of medical condition including maternal child health (MCH) services in their premise. http://www.jknselangor.moh.gov.my/index.ph...linik-kesihatan

However, KKIA only offers MCH services in their premise i.e. exclusively for pregnant women and child care. You can go to a KK nearby your place for regular pregnancy check-up.

Thanks for the explanation. I guess I will go through the list and see which one is closest and give them a call if my area is under their care.

Would like to know if I should bring my wife to KK or KKIA in order to register for the Kad Merah?

Also, is it necessary to go to KK/KKIA that is nearest to where I stay?
So far I have checked, all KK is not very near. Else I will just pick a KK in Cyberjaya

Thanks in advance!! smile.gif

I think you should. Your wife should come and register for the Buku Merah, and then would proceed to do checkups straightaway.
The pregnancy should be at least 8-10 weeks if not mistaken, if not they would ask you to come later.

Yes, it's necessary to go to the KK nearest to you. They can reject you if you are not from somewhere near.
The reason is that they want to keep track of health of ppl nearest to the area.

You should always call before you went to the KK, to make sure you are going to the right KK, and also different KK have different procedures.
Some would ask for bill, some need husband to come for the first checkup (test for HIV). Depends on the area.
Some even has designated days, for example if you live in area X, you come on Wednesdays, if Y, come on Thursdays and so on.

If you live in Cyberjaya, chances are you're going to have to go to Dengkil KK, as Cyber doesnt have KK at the moment.

Hope this helps!

My wife secretly went to KK to apply for buku merah during her second pregnancy without my knowing, even though i can afford for private hospital immunisation and labor cost. The waiting time wasnt that bad. Just that you have to gets up early to get number. I saved RM 6k+ over that year.

Is true, waiting time is usually longer. When we have our first kid 100% in private hospital, we still need to wait like 4 hours during weekdays. KK is about the same and sometimes maybe longer.

Previously I've written two similar thread:
1. Guide to A Budget Condo
2. Guide to A Budget Wedding

Although this is not really a "Guide to a Budget Giving Birth in Klang Valley" because we didn't opt for government hospital due to the long wait for check-up at Klinik Kesihatan and also not given the option of choosing the same gynae either in government or half funded, half private hospitals. Therefore choosing a private hospital with decent charges and nearby to our place out of convenience and also because the gynae is good.

Please note that I'm not paid for anything that's written here and it's solely based on my own's personal experience and opinion.
Everyone would have their own preference and also opinion in things.

For the first time mummy who's pregnant and unsure what to do?
1. If your period is pretty regular, you would know that there's something wrong when you missed your period
2. Easiest way is to go to pharmacy and get a pregnancy test kit (Uhm, there's instructions that teach you how to use and read)
3. There's many types of test kits, but basically, they work the same. Cheap or expensive they are all almost the same. Except that there's one clearblue digital that tells you roughly which week are you in (base on your HCG level). There's no pregnancy test kits in the market that you can reuse, it's all one time usage only.
4. If you are still unsure, then you can always head to the hospital and ask for a blood test.
5. Usually you won't be able to see anything on the scan if it's less than 5-7 weeks, depending.
6. It's said that baby's heartbeat starts at 6 weeks, but sometimes you can't pick up anything until the 8-9th week. So don't be so gan cheong if you can't hear any heartbeat before that, and wait a while more longer
Picking a Gynae

Choosing the right hospital

Making your Birth Plan

What are the checklist and things you need?

Where to get what?

What's in the hospital bag?


I will add on the list as I go ...
