Private clinics to set their own fees


KUALA LUMPUR: Doctors and dentists in private clinics and hospitals can soon fix their own consultation fees following a decision by the Cabinet to allow the charges to be dictated by free market.

The move to deregulate the fee structure would enhance the public’s right to choose their doctors, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.
