FAQ
How much does chemotherapy cost in Malaysia?
Private hospitals commonly quote conventional chemotherapy at up to about RM 4,000 per cycle, though regimens vary widely. Targeted therapy and immunotherapy can cost RM 10,000 to RM 50,000 a month. Government hospitals charge far less. Ask for a per-cycle and full-course estimate in writing.
How much does radiotherapy cost in a private hospital in Malaysia?
A private radiotherapy course is commonly reported at roughly RM 15,000 to RM 40,000 depending on technique and number of sessions. Advanced techniques and planning scans add cost. Some private hospitals offer support for patients referred from government hospitals.
Does medical insurance cover cancer treatment in Malaysia?
Most hospital and surgical plans cover chemotherapy and radiotherapy up to annual and lifetime limits, and some pay targeted therapy only under conditions. Check your annual limit, co-payment, and whether outpatient oncology is covered before starting treatment.
Can I be referred from a government hospital to a private cancer centre?
Yes. Some private hospital groups run arrangements with the Ministry of Health for radiotherapy referrals from government hospitals, with eligibility rules. Ask your government oncologist and the private centre what documents are needed.
