fiogf49gjkf0d WARNING: THE IMPORTATION OF ILLEGAL DRUGS INTO MALAYSIA
CARRIES THE DEATH PENALTY.
PRIVATE CLINICS ARE EASILY FOUND EVEN IN THE SMALLEST
TOWNS. IN MAJOR CITIES MEDICAL CENTRES OFFER BEST FACILITIES.
IT IS INEXPENSIVE TO VISIT A PRIVATE DOCTOR & THEY DISPENSE
MEDICINE ON THE SPOT. THERE ARE GOV'T HOSPITALS THROUGHOUT
THE COUNTRY, BUT APART FROM EMERGENCIES HOSPITALS ARE MORE
GEARED TO SERVE THE LOCAL POPULATION.
TRAVEL INSURANCE IS NECESSARY AS THERE IS NO RECIPROCAL
NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE AGREEMENT. AS IN MANY COUNTRIES,
COSTS FOR MEDICAL SERVICES OR HOSPITAL CARE MUST BE COVERED
BY THE TRAVELLER.
CHEMIST SHOPS ABOUND IN MALAYSIA AND APART FROM WESTERN
MEDICINE THEY ALSO DISPENSE TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE.
CHEMIST STORES ARE OPEN DURING NORMAL TRADING HOURS AND EVEN
ON SUNDAYS IN SUPERMARKETS.
EMERGENCY NO.: 999.
