Expat Interviews
"There are many options depending on your budget. Premium hospitals/healthcare centres such as Prince Court, Pantai, Gleneagles will set you back a lot, but the care is excellent. In most residential areas you can find smaller clinics for everyday complaints, and also places for cosmetic surgery, which is a booming industry in Malaysia." British expat Benjamin shares his experience as an expat living in Kuala Lumpur.
