I am 4.5 months pregnant and looking to deliver at either Putrajaya or Sungai Buloh Hospital under the FPP scheme. I would like to receive some feedback from anyone who has experienced going through delivery at either of these two hospitals under the FPP scheme. Specifically, I would like to know:

- Who are the recommended doctors in Putrajaya and Sungai Buloh hospitals? my wife chose Dr Azmi. either natural or csec depends on your condition.
- Having paid for FPP, were you given the first class ward? (single bed room) single bed room availability is very limited. and of course price is absolutely different.
- Did you go through labour and delivery in a private room or a shared room? cant comment, my wife only able to tell
- Was the husband allowed to be with you throughout labour and delivery?  nope, i asked Dr Azmi and i had to wait at waiting room
- Were you given an epidural? (I understand that delivering on weekends will mean no epidural).
- What was the treatment like from the supporting staff i.e. nurses, midwives, and medical officers? so far so good, but don expect like private hospital that they will help you to feed your baby or change diapers... all you need to do yourself.

Sorry for the detailed questions, but it will help me in deciding on which hospital to choose for my delivery. This is my first child and I hope that the delivery will be as smooth as possible. Thank you everyone in advance for your feedback, much appreciated!

Overall, we are satisfied. my second baby we also go for Dr Azmi, he is always friendly

u didnt mention which hospital.
Putrajaya or Sg Buloh?
Anyway, I didnt know Sg Buloh have FPP.
I know Selayang has FPP.

is it?
i might have missed it...
PUTRAJAYA

how much did you paid? mind sharing with us?

next child we might consider FPP as well.

my wife went for csec due to the cord-round-neck
total bill for 2 nights RM3008

wah cheap aaa. if normal what will the price be?

normal more or less than 1000 

wow very economical.

what about the service?

my wife went for csec due to the cord-round-neck
total bill for 2 nights RM3008

sg buloh can get really crowded, so putrajaya would be a better option. also depends on how convenient it is to get there, consider this first if u decide on natural birth

Overall, we are satisfied. my second baby we also go for Dr Azmi, he is always friendly

May I know which year this was in? I think the prices may have gone up a bit. If normal, I'm told RM2-3k. If c-section, could be closer to RM5k, but that's still half the price of paying at private hospitals.

i would rate 8 out of 10
still room for improvement but overall we are satisfied
doctors & nurses are friendly and they always ready to help + teach

wow, if like that, i would consider FPP at Selayang as nearer my house.

hoping for someone here that has experience in FPP selayang.

anyone?

Experience at Selayang

- Having paid for FPP, were you given the first class ward? (single bed room)
No, fully taken. Was given a 2 bed ward but the next bed was empty throughout the stay

- Did you go through labour and delivery in a private room or a shared room?
Labour hall is still the same as non-FPP. Just you get priority to better room and choose your doctor.

- Was the husband allowed to be with you throughout labour and delivery?
Yes unless c-sec is required

- Were you given an epidural? (I understand that delivering on weekends will mean no epidural).
Check with your doctor, they will tell you when is the last chance if epidural is not available 24/7. Yes they do have a working hour which you have to decide.

My wife was FPP at Selayang

Call to book now, they are very busy especially for Dr. Yu. We booked like 5 months before due date and they only start seeing you from 7th month onwards, once a month.

First appointment can be FPP - cost 100+. Was advised to change to normal consultation (same doctor but long queue) as it is RM5 only. My advise is take late morning session as the queue seems to be shorter but sometimes if the doctors are needed for labouring then you need to wait longer.

Note that FPP at Selayang is all about luck. the specialist doctor for FPP (i think there are only two of them) does not work on weekends thus if you are labouring on weekend there is no FPP. My wife had induced labour (weekdays) and had to go for c-sec at 11PM, Dr Yu did stay back and operate and by the time they came out it is already 1am.

hmmmm, not that attractive to me anymore.

is this similar to other FPP at other locations? guys? can compare for me?

seems like putrajaya or sg buloh is better than selayang

I understand Putrajaya has FPP doctors on duty 24/7 - read it here in lowyat in one of the thread.

Sg Buloh not too sure

I was considering Putrajaya as well but considering the distance to travel in event of emergency, stick with Selayang as it is nearby for us as well.

last time when my wife gave birth, the hospital was like 15 to 20 minutes away.

i think if around 1 hour still ok?

what you think? how long travelling hour is recommended?

i reckon without traffic its 1 hour?

that is the thing, "without traffic".

May I know if giving FPP charge double for giving birth on public holiday or twins?

government hospital not sure, but columbia hospital i think yes
u call their hotline and ask.

Does FPP package, nurse will take care of the baby until discharge ?

What's a FPP?

If I don't take the pink book, is that still ok? Because I'm planning after born baby, then straight go to confinement centre for 1 month.

I have two recommendation to putrajaya hospital. Apparently two of them have good reviews. And they were also recommended by their friends. Normal delivery alone is RM600++ include 1 night stay.

Did the routine check up at private clinic RM100++ per check up at Puchong (I forgot where). The blood test from private clinic is priced from RM600++ to RM1k++

To me, go to a hospital nearer to your house is priority.

FPP is Full Paying Patient scheme, means you go to govt hospital but get to choose your own gynae and get delivered by them, not by the midwives. Also you get to choose the type of room with different charges just like private.

You will need a pink book, because the gynae there will start seeing you from Week 30 onwards. If I am not mistaken, they will jot down your condition in there. But if you haven't have a pink book, I think the hospital will arrange for you when you visit the first time, just wasting a bit more time on that.

You mentioned you have two recommendations for Putrajaya Hospital, so I assume you are going for FPP too? Have you booked the EDD slot with them?

Does FPP package, nurse will take care of the baby until discharge ?

at putrajaya, the nurse took my baby for bath in the morning and fed my baby (i didnt hv breast milk yet)

Would like to bring this thread back up for more recent info.. Am considering for FPP Sg Buloh as i heard Selayang not as good now, while Putrajaya is way too far in the south.. Anyone mind sharing your experiences?

Trying to consider going for FPP or Tung Shin Hospital as some said the price also not so high.. Appreciate anyone who could give more info.. If i want to know more, is there a service in the Sg Buloh hospital where i can just drop by and ask my questions to any consultant there or can only call them?

What do you wish to know more? I called Sg Buloh before for information but in the end went for Putrajaya because less traffic jam from my place. I remember the pricing are the same or about the same for all hospitals offering FPP.

You can just call to find out more. I remember the pricing are same for Sg Buloh and Putrajaya, although putrajaya did put out a new price list somewhere around Dec18/Jan19.

I remember:
c section - 1K
operation room/labour room charges - RM250 per hour
normal birth - I think it's RM600

Actually for FPP, the most expensive part is the room charges. RM300 for executive room regardless they give you single or double room. Other types of room, husband is not allowed to stay.

Thanks for the detailed info on the pricing.. Im considering Sg Buloh as im staying near to it, didn't think of Selayang as i heard not as good.. How about the specialists? How and where can i find out more on which specialist is good and experienced in Sg Buloh? Appreciate if anyone who delivered there before share some experience on the delivery process..

I understand Putrajaya has FPP doctors on duty 24/7 - read it here in lowyat in one of the thread.

Sg Buloh not too sure

The person in charge at the registration will call the selected FPP Dr to be there during the delivery.

I was considering Putrajaya as well but considering the distance to travel in event of emergency, stick with Selayang as it is nearby for us as well.

Just to let you know that you need to book/reserve way in advance for delivery ward. I called Putrajaya Hospital and it is fully booked till September. It's only available from October 2019 onwards. Have to be fast!

I have friends when to Putrajaya and Selayang for the FPP package. They did not suggest me to be there as slightly below their expection. I.e for Putrajaya, might be my friend bad luck as the FPP Dr he had selected unable to be there during his wife delivery. Ended up a new Dr and brought some intern/MO there during the delivery. As for Selayang, my friend ok but might be due to complications. Opted for natural birth but ended up operations. Details I did not ask much as quite sensitive
I booked Dr Thow for FPP@ Sungai Buloh. Overall very good as the facilities over there are quite new. He is also a cool & nice guy. Googled about him before the booked. He was invited to a  8TV TV programme.
As far as I know based on March info. as I know, He is fully booked until June. Can be check via whatapps Heard he is an expert in Caesarean section/operation delivery. Epidural is also available upon request with reasonable price.

I chose the FPP programme instead of private one as indirectly to support government. I had some bad exp with a tropic*na related gynae / checkup @ Kepong. Too cincai and money oriented.

Besides, I also had some experience that all private hospital will normally "pass" the patients to gov hospital when there is high risk case with reason insufficient utility/manpower etc . Real case for my family side. Private hospital starting with K....

Hi bro... can share more on your wife overall delivery experience in hospital sg buloh? are the nurse and doctors helpful there? did u get single room? will it require long queue time or etc? and how much your total mum+baby cost on FPP in hospital sg buloh? I'm staying nearby so considering taking the package at that hospital... first child here... so quite kan cheong now... wanna plan earlier... haha

Total charge is about rm2700++. I managed to get a single room as Dr Thow seems know there is a empty single room and assisted me somehow. Therefore I can overnight there.
As for the payment procedures , I waited for two FPP and overall took me about 30-45min as the cashier needs to go to verify etc
For the checkup is about RM 125 per time. All the payment can be using credit card.

Mine also first child. But I will recommend you to book early. They are using whatapps for the booking. Quite convenient. During my wife check up in March. Dr thow seems fully booked until July or August. There is a signboard indicated there.

for those still looking for hospital Putrajaya, i would say 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.

we did not choose the executive room cos it cost rm300 per night, they give us 2 person shared room which cost rm120 per night. total my wife stay there for 3 days 2 night. overall we have a very good experience. really thanks to all the nurses and doctor who involved.

total for deliver baby RM3360

Hi, can I check with you, if I make appointment with dr Azmi for c-Sec delivery. During the delivery day, will Dr Azmi attend to my c-Sec or other doctor will attend? Is it ok to only meet Dr Azmi for a few times check (like 2-3 times only) before go for c Sec delivery?

i believe it depends on availability of Dr Azmi as well, for in my case i only meet my specialist 2 times and my wife admitted to hospital for labour d.

Do you know the updated cost of c Sec and normal delivery charge?

My wife is csec, but they charge us normal labor room n operation room due to.we decide change to csec cos baby poop. The difference only rm800 between csec n normal delivery. The major cost is you choose the executive room tho

Total charge is about rm2700++. I managed to get a single room as Dr Thow seems know there is a empty single room and assisted me somehow. Therefore I can overnight there.

May I know RM2700+ is Natural Delivery or C-sec? I've booked Dr Thow too for my second child 's delivery. My first appointment falls on coming Nov.

Guys, ive read all the posts and still abit confused.

Is the below correct?

1. Pregnant > Go KK to obtain pink book.
2. Go choice of Gov hospital that offers FFP
3. Schedule appointments with Choice above
4. Pay deposit at certain week to ensure "spot"
5. Delivery is based on "luck" on getting which doctor.
6. If ward room full on that day, will be referred to another hospital.

is this accurate for FFP in gov hospital?

If you are taking FPP, you will get to choose the doctor you want. It is like in a specialist treatment but in a government hospital. Your point 5 and 6 is only applicable to non FPP patient.

Hello, want to ask you if we were to opt in for executive room, does the medical fee or any other fee will be executive price also? or normal price medical fee and only executive room is more expensive.

thanks in advance.

Do I need to walk in to book a slot at Putrajaya as FFP?

Have gotten the pink book last week. Now at 4 months. EDD 5-7 May 2020. Any good specialists to recommend for delivery?

You can read more here : http://www.hpj.gov.my/portalv11/index.php/en/fpp-bi

I trying to call hosp to do booking but no one answer, in the web, they say can walk in.

Try to call below number for Hospital Putrajaya FPP Scheme. I did that few weeks ago and the nurse gave me an appointment to go for briefing and fill up form. Today went for the briefing, then nurse checked my pink book and scheduled my first appointment with the chosen doctor.

Went for briefing. Their policy changed d. Cannot book room you want in advance. Just when check in during labor, see which room is available. Additional doctor consultation fees every time you see your chosen specialist which would cost you additional 200 or so each time.

I repeat, cannot book your choice of room

Thanks for latest update. How about the charge for normal and c-sec? Did they revised the price as well?

Price remains completely free for walk in. Else FPP prices are as shared earlier. Only difference with FPP is you get to choose a doctor to deliver your baby, and can consult this doctor prior to delivery (which is subject to fees and the same long government hospital queues).

Problem is.. the doctor might be on call or unavailable on your due date, then they'll find someone else anyway.. also, your preferred doctor (out of 5) is usually fully booked 6 months into the future already...

The policy now is to walk in to pymt counter, register yourself, wait for available room (hospital will call u), then only pay deposit and admission.

Congrats! Btw, this means -any- available room, right? not any room of your choice... sadly.

My wife still hesitating to choose putrajaya walk in (FPP cancel due to Covid-19 and hospital informed us to just walk in later on).. currently visiting Sunway velocity medical centre, putrajaya hospital so far any issue ?

When is ur wife due date? I'm also facing the same issue & went to sunway velocity. The funny part is, yesterday putrajaya called n tell me fpp is now open & asked us whether we're still interested?
So pening now 😅

Yeah... the FPP in Putrajaya is open.. funny thing was... I went to the hospital on the weekend (Saturday) and was advised that you need to register via phone... only way.. and they asked my wife to go back and call again on Monday..

And for the life of me.. we cant seem to get through their phone... nobody ever picks up..

I called FPP ....... Many times.... Forever can't in 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Apparently their "appointment" booking time is between 2-4pm.. so try calling at that interval

Hi all. i would like to ask a question.

If i go for FPP and assuming i can get a single room in Putrajaya, do they allow me to bring my 3 years old kid and stay overnight there?

nowadays government hospitals have been very strict after Covid, even husband are not allowed. you may try your luck to ask them but I'm doubt that they will allow.

Thanks. That is what I thought as well.

Our initial plan was to go for private (those smaller ones). However, the doctor said today that the placenta is a bit low so may have complication. It is advisable to go for government hospital.

Anyway, thanks for your comments.

our concern is also the same. we want to opt for a single room. hopefully can help my wife after the delivery because sure that all nurses hard to bother. so not sure if i can stay and help.

Just a bit disappointed with this FPP scheme. The aim is to compete with private but the service is far below. Our appointment is at 11 am, close to 1.30 pm only we were called. This is almost on par with normal visit as a free pt.

Toilet is dirty, lock is broken. No parking. We came in early at 10am but were told to stay outside like normal pt and no area for waiting (only half an hour before appointment can go in).

We went to private previously and was told to go to fpp as this is a high risk pregnancy. I hope services will be better in future so ppl choose gov services more
