MMA hopes new GP consultation fees will be appropriate, fair

The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) has expressed hope that the revision of private general practitioner (GP) consultation fees, set to be announced before May 1 this year, will be both appropriate and fair.

Its president, Dr Kalwinder Singh Khaira, said MMA believed that raising the consultation fee to a minimum of RM60 would be fair and appropriate, while the upper limit should be based on studies conducted by the National Action Council on Cost of Living (Naccol) under the Statistics Department.
