"....announced ratio was one doctor to every 454 people in the country..."
This is true only if private and government healthcare sector receive proportional number of patients, which is most likely not the case in Malaysia.
I would say majority of ppl are going to government hospital/clinic due to financial constraint.
If u had been in emergency department of government and private hospital, u will see a huge difference in the amount of patients.
