Malaysia has a rich legacy in medical education, stemming from Singapore's establishment of the region's inaugural medical school in 1905. Following Malaysia's independence, Kuala Lumpur witnessed the inception of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Malaya in 1963. Presently, Malaysia boasts 32 public and private medical schools, as documented by WDOMS, all offering a comprehensive 5-year undergraduate program. Certain private institutions have extended their reach globally through twinning or credit-transfer arrangements. Adherence to accreditation standards set by the National Accreditation Board and Malaysian Medical Council is mandatory for all medical schools. The cost of pursuing MBBS in Malaysia parallels that of Indian medical colleges, ranging from 55,000 to 110,000 MYR annually (equivalent to 10–20 lakhs in INR). Malaysia holds the distinction of being ranked as the third safest country in Asia and the fourth most affordable destination for international students. Medical education in Malaysia garners significant interest among international students, particularly those hailing from India and other Islamic nations due to religious considerations. Malaysia attracts over 140,100 international students from more than 100 countries seeking medical qualifications. Opting to study MBBS in Malaysia is particularly enticing for students from Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala. With over 2 million Indians residing in Malaysia (constituting 7% of the population) and 38% of healthcare practitioners being of Indian origin, there exists a robust Indian community and a notable presence in the healthcare sector, fostering a sense of familiarity and support for Indian students. The quest for top-tier medical colleges in Malaysia for Indian students is ongoing. Among the 32 medical universities listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS) in Malaysia, nine are situated in Kuala Lumpur. Notably, MHASA University stands out as a premier medical institution in Kuala Lumpur.
