Hospital

For emergencies, dial 999 from a landline or 112 if you're using a mobile phone.

Ambulance services are funded by the government and payment for transportation to an emergency hospital is not required. However, note that ambulances do not carry medical equipment and there is no paramedic service. Also be aware that there is no service provided from an emergency hospital to another hospital. You will have to make your own way there.

Pharmacy

Malaysia is not short of pharmacies. Public hospitals and clinics operate their own pharmaceutical care, but there are also several private pharmacies. Opening times for pharmacies vary, with shops in major cities open late. Many of the private clinics also have their own pharmacies, which are often open 24 hours.

Pharmacies are well stocked and many drugs that require a doctor's prescription overseas are freely available in Malaysia.

There are two main pharmacies in Malaysia, Cosway and Guardian, which can be found in most neighborhoods but may be difficult to locate rural areas. To spot Cosway, look for a sign with a rainbow and write front. Guardian's sign has white front and with a blue and orange background. To locate a pharmacy, look for a red sign that says farmasi.
