Over 70% of clinics are struggling... here's what that means for Malaysia

Malaysia has thousands of clinics.

So why are hospitals still overcrowded?

Over 70% of private GP clinics in Malaysia are now struggling to stay afloat.

At the same time:
Public clinics are packed.
Hospitals are overwhelmed.

This is not a shortage of doctors.

It’s what happens when an entire country starts entering the healthcare system through the same door.

A public clinic visit can cost RM1.
A private GP might cost RM30–RM80.

So naturally, demand concentrates.
