Klinik Kesihatan Kuala Lumpur - Jalan Fletcher


With the new Kuala Lumpur clinic now opened in Jalan Fletcher (behind Pusat Darah Negara), they have moved Kuala Lumpur Hospital outpatient department to there to reduce the congestion in HKL.

Did they also forget to mention that services at Klinik Kesihatan Tanglin is also being gradually reduced and moved to the new clinic?

HIV physician Dr Nurul Aida Salleh has moved there, and so will most of her HIV patients. I will be seeing her next month on my next appointment and not knowing what to expect or how long it would take, I've decided to take the day off so that I can also run other errands.

Until then, I will update more as we go along.

Taking blood in Klinik Kesihatan Kuala Lumpur

Image
So the time has come to draw blood at this new facility. As I was unfamiliar with the procedures here, I wasted about half an hour waiting in vain at the wrong place. My blood test schedule was almost once a year (if not twice at most), but since I was transferred to this new facility, I have not had my blood taken here before. So everything is new to me. And there is no online information on how to go about it. Again, here I am, writing and sharing the process with you all. The queue to draw blood is just horrendous, and it was all because there's only 1 counter serving.

Once registration is processed, nurse will assign a room to you. Each room has like 2-3 nurses inside drawing blood, which makes the process very fast. ...

3 months on

Well, just did my second CD4%, VL test last week, the results will be ready next week.. People asked me why I do it in a private clinic instead of a govt hospital? The answer is simple, time. I cannot afford to take time off from work to go to a govt hospital that only opens late into the morning and closes early in the evening. With a private clinic, I can go at night. But then, for CD4%, have to take it in the morning, no? It costs me between RM300-RM500 each tests every 3 months and it has now drained me of my financial resources.. I am quite tight at the moment.. Sigh.. Already defaulted on credit cards cos I cannot pay them on time.. .
