Advocates greater transparency in Malaysia's private healthcare pricing through clearer medical fee disclosure, stronger consumer protection and improved regulatory accountability. The article argues that transparent pricing empowers patients, strengthens public trust and supports a more efficient healthcare system.
Why It Still Matters
