Healthcare in MALAYSIA vs AUSTRALIA (honest opinion)

What's the healthcare system like in Malaysia? I get this question a LOT and it's time to share my experience...

This video is targeted to fellow Westerners (or any foreigners) who are considering moving to, visiting or retiring in Malaysia and may have a similar experience to me. As an Australian, I've had many frustrations with the country's health system. It's expensive and wasteful. Private health insurance does not cover many of the things you'd expect.

When I moved to Malaysia two years ago from Sydney I was honestly blown away by how well I was treated by GPs (kliniks), specialist doctors, surgeons, and physiotherapists. Health insurance in Malaysia is excellent and covers a lot more than in Australia.

This is my honest comparison based on my experience. My health insurance is covered by work so I do not pay for it myself out of pocket. If you're a local Malaysian, please share your experience and knowledge in the comments so we can all learn. Check it out:

0:59 - GPs (General Practitioners, Family Doctors, Primary Care Physicians)
3:42 - Specialist Doctors (Surgeons, Radiology, Booking Times)
7:19 - Health Insurance (Medical Insurance, Cost & Coverage)

I am not an expert on Malaysia (yet), and I may get some things wrong, but this is my authentic opinion based on my experiences. Please correct me in the comments and we can all learn more about Malaysia.
