Reforms needed in how high-risk cases are handled, says MMA

PETALING JAYA: Reforms are needed in the handling of medical procedures involving high-risk patients, says the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA), following two court judgments on medical negligence which awarded millions to the claimants.

MMA president Dr Muruga Raj Rajathurai said while the decisions were respected, the association was concerned about the nature of how litigation is progressing in Malaysia.
