Take action to rectify anomaly in GP fees

THE Federation of Private Medical Practitioners’ Associations Malaysia (FPMPAM) would like to share the press statement released in March 2014 by the director-general of Health, Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, on the issue of general practitioners’ fees:

“In general, the average increase of 14.4% in professional fees covers mainly the procedural and performance fees. The revision of these fees which started in the year 2010 have taken into account the overall inflation rates and was based on the consumer price index specifically for healthcare for the year 2002 to 2010.
