How to choose an obstetrics and gynaecology (O&G) clinic in Malaysia (2026)
A standalone O&G clinic suits antenatal check-ups, scans, Pap smears, contraception and routine gynaecology. A private consultation typically costs RM 80 – RM 250 before scans or tests. The most important check is where the clinic delivers or admits you: ask which hospital the specialist practises at, and whether the clinic is licensed under the Private Healthcare Facilities and Services Act 1998.

FAQ
How much does an obstetrician consultation cost in Malaysia?
A private specialist consultation commonly costs RM 80 to RM 250, excluding scans, lab tests and medication. Clinics in the Klang Valley and Penang sit towards the upper end. Ask for a written estimate before booking add-ons.
Can an O&G clinic deliver my baby?
Most standalone clinics do not have labour wards. The specialist usually delivers at a partner private hospital. Confirm the hospital, the delivery package range and the NICU level before committing.
How often should I see an obstetrician during pregnancy?
Schedules vary, but routine antenatal care typically involves monthly visits early on and more frequent visits near term. Your specialist sets the plan based on your health and pregnancy.
Does insurance cover O&G clinic visits?
Some medical cards cover specialist outpatient visits, but many exclude routine antenatal care and maternity. Check your policy and ask the clinic if it is on your insurer's panel.
Do I need a referral to see a gynaecologist?
In Malaysia private specialists generally accept walk-in or booked appointments without a referral, though insurers may require a referral letter for claims.
