THE Malaysian Dental Association hails the bold move by the government to allow free market forces to dictate the consultation fees of doctors and dentists. The fees from now on would be based on a willing seller willing buyer principle, which means they would be affordable to the public and acceptable to the healthcare providers.
This move reflects the willingness to trust and respect both the professionalism of the providers and freedom of the public to choose. The public must also continue to be increasingly well informed, educated and media savvy.
