Yes there are a few. And many clinics also allow their doctors for out call as well.
Price normally starts from Rm300-500 per out call, and depending on what are the issues, add from there. Example: medications, iv drips, catheters, syringes and ambulance service, etc. - all these will be charged extra.

If you are booking the service from certain sites or pure out call services, might be charged more as the fee is split between the doctor and the company.

Good to know is when u book the service, best to let the company or doctor know what is the issue the best you can so they can expect what to bring. lf not, it can cost you multiple trips as well.

Kelantan not sure. But kl pg a lot. Stick here long enough, surely someone will pm u their services. Lol.

But if u are having an elderly or bedridden patient at home, best to go to your local gp and do some arrangement rather than get all these online services. The reason being, the local gp is nearby, should any emergency happen, you can call upon them to arrive quickly or you can bring the patient to the doctor quickly. More importantly, the doctor already have your records. Patient, family and doctor are also familiar already. So consultation n treatment is smoother as well. Furthermore, the doctor will not charge so much as the patient is a long term patient.

Just my 2 cents point of view as a doctor..
