Private hospitals on the other hand form the private health care system and are owned and controlled by private investors. The quality and the services are generally higher than in government hospitals because the cost is paid by the patient or insurance company and not by the government.

Over the years, Malaysia’s Health Care System has significantly improved.

However, finding the best hospital can be difficult in Malaysia. Many people prefer a private hospital over a government hospital. Therefore, this article only considers the list of the top private hospitals in Malaysia 2021. The ranking was made possible with the help of social media ratings and reviews provided by individuals who have experienced the hospital services.
