Drug price display key to lowering medical costs

PETALING JAYA: The price display of drugs and medical servi­ces will help mitigate spiralling medical insurance and medical costs, says the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associa­tions (Fomca).

Such transparent pricing would empower patients to make informed decisions about their healthcare, encourage healthy market competition and ultimately contributes to lowering overall costs, said Fomca vice-president and legal advisor Datuk Indrani Thuraisingham.
