Selangor Hospitals: 10 Public and Private Hospitals with Emergency Care
Selangor hospitals serve the towns that ring Kuala Lumpur, and most visitors staying in Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya, Shah Alam or Klang are a short drive from an emergency department. This guide covers hospitals in Selangor state only; hospitals inside Kuala Lumpur city are on our Kuala Lumpur hospitals guide.
This guide covers 10 Selangor hospitals, two government and eight private, with addresses, phone numbers and emergency information taken from each hospital or hospital group's own website in October 2026. Fees are not published online, so ask for an estimate at registration. In a life-threatening emergency, call 999 rather than driving yourself.

Tips for Using Selangor Hospitals
Calling an ambulance
Dial 999, or 112 from a mobile phone. Sunway Medical Centre and Subang Jaya Medical Centre also run their own ambulance lines (listed above), but 999 is the safest number if you are unsure where you are.
Government or private
Government hospitals charge less but have longer waits, and non-citizens pay higher rates than Malaysians. Private hospitals usually ask for a deposit before admission, so bring your passport and travel insurance details.
Kuala Lumpur or Selangor
If you are staying in central Kuala Lumpur, the hospitals on our Kuala Lumpur guide are closer. The hospitals here suit visitors staying in Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya, Shah Alam, Klang and Puchong.
