Malaysia is a country with high health standards compared some other Asian countries. Let’s get an overview of health in Malaysia by having a quick look over some Malaysia health information. The country has quality healthcare facilities that offer services to both local residents and tourists. Through well-organized and efficient medical services, the country is considered to be doing well in terms of healthcare and related aspects. In 1993, about 80 percent of the total population of Malaysia had access to proper health care. Malaysia is well on its way to introduce a national health insurance plan. Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia is home to three main hospitals, which are Penang Adventist Hospital, General Hospital and Subang Jaya Hospital. One of the major worries in Malaysia is the various tropical illnesses that are still prevalent in the country. Diseases like Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and dengue fever are pretty common. Tourists must take proper precautions and go through proper vaccinations before visiting Malaysia. Most of the tourists are affected with Travellers' Diarrhoea and dysentery. Make sure not to consume uncooked or half-cooked meat, cut fruits salads, vegetables and fish.
