I AM a 77-year-old pensioner. My wife and I are patients at University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), Lembah Pantai. We have to go to UMMC for our regular medical check-ups and treatment. My wife has mild dementia and I have problem with my blood platelets.
On April 10, my wife went to collect her regular medication – exelon patch – from UMMC’s pharmacy as these medicines are listed under UMMC (Special Formulary) and thus cannot be supplied by the normal hospital pharmacies. I was made to pay for the exelon. It cost RM1,552.95 and I was told by the pharmacy staff to claim from Pensions Department.
