Klinik 1Malaysia, an initiative by DBKL

Klinik 1Malaysia I Do you know we have Klinik 1Malaysia in our country? Many of us worried of cost of medical and some is sceptical on the service that is made available.

There is a period of time when I am not employed and I came across a Klinik 1Malaysia at Kampung Muhibbah, located in Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur in OUG. To me, it’s a wonderful experience and since then I would never think twice to come whenever I am sick and if the children had common illness like flu, cough, fever, and sore throat.

They have a proper registration counter and you will need to bring your NRIC along for verification each time. You will be charged at RM1 for each visit, and if you are an OKU card holder just like my daughter, you can enjoy a free visit without any payment.

Depends to area, normally the waiting hour is bearable, even better than private clinics, especially paediatrics.

The doctors are very well mannered, and they will take time to examine, explaining to you in details on what you should do and not, prescribed with enough medicine for a week.

Further to that, please do note too on the below:

A) Klinik 1Malaysia is for mild treatment, which I will explain in their scope of services at the bottom of this article.

B) Klinik kesihatan Is a bigger clinic that accepts mild critical condition or referral/ follow up cases

C) Hospital Is meant for critical Illness
