Minimising risk of litigation


THE letter “Caught in dilemma of medical defence insurance” (The Star, Sept 4) is referred.

Medical Defence Malaysia Berhad (MDM) is the first local medical defence organisation (MDO) that offered occurrence-based indemnity to Malaysian doctors from 2002 till 2016. Effective January 2017, MDM ceased to offer occurrence-based indemnity in view of the increased litigation rate and the high and increasing court awards. MDM now offers claims-made indemnity.
