From Pregnancy To Childhood Education"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

More Malaysians are feeling the heat from the rising costs of living<\/a> and some of those who are planning to start a family may have put their plans on hold because they cannot afford to have a child. However, it is surprisingly pleasant to know that we can still access free and affordable maternity services provided by government-owned hospitals and clinics.<\/p> \n

Despite so, parenting requires more than just planning for birth delivery but also includes education, living necessities and also supplementary things to help your child grow. According to AIA Bhd\u2019s research, it takes about RM 440,000 to RM 1.1 mil to raise a child including delivery costs, schooling costs, and University fees.<\/p> \n

To help you better plan your future child, we have listed down the costs incurred and comparison of pre-natal requirements, delivery costs, and baby goods up until their pre-school fees.<\/p> \n

This may or may not necessarily be applicable to all parents or future parents in the country but we certainly hope it gives you a guideline to set down your financial goal.<\/p> \n

During this period, you will have to start preparing funds for monthly check-ups and ultrasound scans. Though medical costs have gone up over the past few years especially after the introduction of GST, you can still gain access to cheap or free medical attention from local government clinics and hospitals.<\/p> \n

For instance, Klinik Kesihatan Ibu & Anak which is owned and operated by the government allows mothers to get free medical checkups with anti-tetanus injection. However, if you intend to save time from the long queue, you can still get a medical check-up from the specialist clinic or private hospital at about RM 200 per visit.<\/p> \n

As for baby delivery costs<\/strong>, depending on your preference and situation (birth condition), you will need to prepare at least RM10,000 to RM15,000<\/strong> in order to welcome your child with the help of the experts at any of these hospitals.<\/p> \n

There are several things that come to mind that you will need to spend on when your child is born such as diapers, milk, baby products and vaccines. Thanks to scheduled vaccinations made compulsory by the Ministry of Health, your child can have their vaccination in line with their age for free<\/strong>.<\/p> \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
