Harmonising fee will not affect the poor, says MMA


KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Medical Association has assured that general practitioners (GPs) in stand-alone clinics will still charge the low-income B40 population affordable fees even if the fees are raised when harmonised with the fees of doctors in private hospitals.

MMA president Dr Mohamed Namazie Ibrahim said that although the harmonisation of the fee sche­dule will mean an increase from between RM10 and RM35 per consultation to between RM30 and RM125, there is a fee structure that GPs will have to adhere to.
