I understand the cost concern, its really a lot especially when youre new to the system. I think many Malaysian PRs do open their pink book back home and do most of their routine checks there, then come to KKH maybe for the final trimester scans or closer to delivery so its more manageable cost-wise. Your husbands Medisave can only be used at KKH for the actual delivery though, not the antenatal visits, so thats the main thing to confirm with KKH admin before you proceed. Some mums I know also did their regular checkups at a polyclinic here which is much cheaper than private, then transferred to KKH for delivery. Best to call KKH directly and ask if they accept patients whove done checkups elsewhere, because different hospitals have different policies on that.
