Why patients choose Kuala Lumpur

- Direct flights from many cities in Indonesia, including Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan and Denpasar.

Getting to Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is about an hour by car from the city centre; the KLIA Ekspres train reaches KL Sentral in about 30 minutes. Hospitals are spread across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, so allow for traffic.
Indonesian citizens can visit Malaysia without a visa for up to 30 days. Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months. If your treatment may take longer, ask the hospital or MedBay early.
Practical tips
- Bring your passport, previous medical records, scans (CD or files), lab results and a list of your medicines.
- Private hospitals usually ask for a deposit before admission; ask for the amount in advance.
- Choose a hotel near your hospital rather than in the city centre: distances in the Klang Valley are long. MedBay can help you book.
- Plan extra days before the procedure for consultation and tests, and after it for a follow-up visit before flying home.
