In 2018, the ratio of private hospitals to government hospitals was 5:3, with the biggest hospital groups being KPJ, Pantai/Gleneagles and Columbia Asia. This was a new concept in Malaysia, as all other private hospitals had a system where the doctor’s fee is separate from the hospital charges. Equipment like ultrasound machines are usually purchased by private hospitals for the use of the doctors. I don’t see a future where private hospitals allow doctors to own their clinics. In the future, private hospitals might just employ doctors directly, so that they will have total control of them.
