Notes
Revision 2 (2026-11-09, steward fix): Scope qualified: MOH dental service points plus private clinics registered with the Medical Practice division; excludes mobile clinics, mobile teams and community dental clinics. Derived: 2,706 MOH (63 standalone + 2,643 dental services in other facilities) + 3,522 registered private = 6,228. B because the MOH 'services in other facilities' line counts dental service points (in health clinics, hospitals, schools etc.), not separate premises; excluded MOH: 39 mobile dental clinics, 648 mobile dental teams, 28 community dental clinics. Private-only registered dental clinics = 3,522 (Selangor 1,167, KL 551, Johor 411); usable as denominator for dso_clinic_share_pct (Q&M 38 MY clinics end-2024 / 3,522 end-2022 = about 1.1%, years differ). A separate private-only record was not added because the validator treats same country/metric/as_of/source as duplicate.
