Popular Medical Specialties Malaysians Seek for Treatment

Malaysians commonly seek medical help from several key specialties, with cardiology leading due to high rates of heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. Orthopaedics is also highly demanded, especially for knee pain, back issues, fractures, and joint problems. Internal medicine remains a core specialty for managing chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, and infections, while obstetrics and gynaecology are frequently consulted for pregnancy care, fertility concerns, and women’s health issues. Paediatrics is another major specialty, covering childhood illnesses, vaccinations, allergies, and growth development.
