Its the same everywhere (particularly government hospitals) including here in Malaysia.
Seems better in private hospitals.

I dont really understand how the system work in europe. Haha.
But dont get me wrong. Tbh i think government hospital in Malaysia is really good. Its just that like you said, there are soooo many patients.
In part because our public healthcare is really affordable. Only 0.25usd for primary care, 1USD for specialist clinic visits (medicines are free)
