Medical Care and Emergencies
The levels of hygiene and medical care in Malaysia are higher than in much of the rest of Southeast Asia; staff almost everywhere speak good English and use up-to-date techniques. There's always a pharmacy in main towns, which is well stocked with brand-name drugs. They also sell oral contraceptives and condoms over the counter. Pharmacists can help with simple complaints, though if you're in any doubt, get a proper diagnosis. © 2003 by Rough Guides Ltd. as trustee for its Authors. Published by Rough Guides.

Opening hours are usually Mon-Sat 9.30am-7pm; pharmacies in shopping malls stay open later. Private clinics are found even in the smallest towns; a visit costs around RM30, excluding medication. The emergency department of each town's General Hospital will see foreigners for the token fee of RM1, though costs rise rapidly if continued treatment or overnight stays are necessary .
