medical equipment sourcing Malaysia

Setting up a private specialist clinic in Malaysia requires navigating three parallel processes simultaneously: MOH licensing via CKAPS, equipment sourcing strategy, and insurance panel credentialing — all before seeing your first patient.
This complete 2026 guide covers every stage of a private specialist clinic setup in Malaysia. From submitting Borang A to the CKAPS office, to designing an MOH-compliant floor plan, sourcing medical equipment at optimal cost (new vs refurbished vs leased), credentialing with AIA, Great Eastern, and Prudential’s specialist panels, and projecting realistic EBITDA by specialty — fertility, orthopaedics, aesthetic day surgery, and dental.
Whether you are a specialist transitioning from hospital employment to private practice, a foreign investor establishing a clinic with a local medical partner, or an entrepreneur structuring a healthcare M&A acquisition, this guide eliminates costly trial-and-error and gives you the verified process from day one to opening day.
