Quote of the Day (27)

5 Dec 2010 - Private health care providers in Malaysia are urged to be transparent and reasonable about their charges. Patients have the right to be informed, in advance, about the pricing of care and treatment, as this may avoid misunderstanding and misconceptions. The Director-General of Health Tan Sri Dr. Md. Ismail tolf doctors at private hospitals that health care should not be equated with business. He said "Looking at profits solely, the way other business do, may not be ethically or morally justifiable. Profits made must be reasonable, and not excessive." The comments came about reports in the media over unreasonable charges by private hospitals.
