APHM: Private hospitals are not retailers | New Straits Times

So, in the name of Medical service: private hospital have right to increase price as wish? Don't the private sector suppose to support our country on the fight again covid & don't really focus at $$$/ profit? Sad- no unitymedical industry to safe human

Terrible Prince Court hospital. Shame on you! PrinceCourtMedicalCentre PCMC

Need a cap on the mark-up from hospitals. There must be transparency.

Private hospitals must not only look at profiteering but commited towards social obligations and proper etiquettes as it’s not a retail bness like you said. Making profit out of face masks amidst Covid-19 cannot be tolerated and a fine of Rm200k is justified.

Exactly 😠

Hospital already had service charges why still need to mark up reusable stuff. I wonder this price had been all the while or just because recent case. It looks like daylight robbery.

Prince Court Medical Centre (PCMC) should be fined for overcharging the medicines too. A box of 30 pills of daily medication costs RM950 at the hospital, but the same exact drugs could be bought in pharmacies for just RM520. The profit margins are obscene and preposterous.

Just because APHM is an association of highly esteemed medical business entities it can demand to meet with any minister any time it wishes even when one of its member entities' business ethics is highly questionable. How bloody unfair to those insignificant traders/shop owners!

We demand to know the name of the hospital!

We may not understand how private hospitals are run, sustain expenditure, and stay afloat, but charging RM11.20 for face masks that have a ceiling price of RM1.50 each ( a hike of 746.67%), is, outright PROFITEERING! Ask any man living!

Why cant the public know which private hospital is that? 🙄

Defo not a retail outlet but a designer boutique with chic 3ply mask 💉💊
