The cost of treatment in Penang: what the brochure leaves out
A breakdown of the cost components that most often surprise patients — from diagnostics to accommodation.
Prototype · Not yet publicly available
Tell us about your condition, the check-up you have in mind, or the aesthetic procedure you are considering. We point you to the hospital and doctor that fit it best — with reference cost ranges and the reasoning behind the match.
Specialties
Three categories are curated in real depth — oncology, medical check-up, aesthetics — plus cardiology and fertility. Every direction comes with an explicit reason for the match.
Second opinions and cancer therapy — high case volume in Penang and Chennai, at a materially lower cost.
02Executive packages completed in a single day with bilingual reports — from Penang and Bangkok to advanced screening in Singapore.
03Southeast Asia's most mature aesthetic hub — Bangkok — with clinics and surgeons verified one by one.
04Cardiac diagnostics and procedures with cost broken down per component — angiography, stents, bypass.
05IVF programmes under Singapore's strict regulation, or full language support in Penang.
The compass
A minute of input, and the compass points to the destination that fits you best — and tells you why.
Pick a category to see directions, cost ranges and matching doctors on the results page.
Our standard of care
“Not a directory, not a booking engine — a compass with a human at the end of it.”
Choose a category, describe your condition in as much or as little detail as you like, set a budget and any country preference.
We show you the 2–3 hospitals and doctors that fit best — with cost ranges broken down per component and an explicit reason for each match.
A coordinator stays with you over WhatsApp — from medical documents and hospital quotes through to the journey home.
Bearing chart
Each destination is strong at something different — the compass weighs that against your condition, budget and preferences.
Close, easy to communicate in, competitively priced — the first choice for most Indonesian patients.
High-precision procedures under the strictest regulation in the region.
The largest and most mature aesthetic hub in Southeast Asia.
High oncology & cardiology case volume at the most efficient cost.
Fast-moving emerging technology; language support is essential.
Curated estimates
Sample check-up packages from illustrative partners in three cities — exactly as they appear on the results page, complete with the reason they match.

THB 9,000–25,000
SGD 800–2,800
Reference ranges drawn from published hospital packages — not a quote. A formal quote comes directly from the hospital once your case has been reviewed. Partner names are illustrative during the prototype phase.
Medical Resume · FHIR
Lab results, referral letters and discharge summaries — usually scattered across formats — are structured into an English, FHIR-standard medical resume that a hospital's international patient office can act on immediately. Always reviewed by a human before it is sent.
Patient story
“This compass came out of our own experience taking family abroad for treatment — lost between agents, unclear prices, and documents nobody could read.”Founder, Kompas Medis · full story coming soon
Knowledge centre
The first articles are being written — from real experience, not brochures.
A breakdown of the cost components that most often surprise patients — from diagnostics to accommodation.
How to weigh the value of a second opinion against the time and cost of travelling for it.
The formats, translations and standards that get your case picked up faster.
Common questions
Yes. Using the compass and the initial coordinator support costs nothing. Medical fees are paid by the patient directly to the hospital.
No. Results are indicative and meant to help you get oriented — they are not a diagnosis or a final medical recommendation. Clinical decisions always rest with the treating physician.
Medical documents are only processed after explicit consent, under Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law (UU PDP), with a clear retention limit and human review before any summary is sent to a hospital.
Currently Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, India and China — starting with oncology, medical check-up and aesthetics.
