KUALA LUMPUR: The fee structure at the Health Ministry's public healthcare facilities will be reviewed, the White Paper on Health has revealed.

The 57-page document released in the Dewan Rakyat said the fee structure will be reviewed so that it is in line with a patient's income level."The low fee rate at public healthcare facilities is a well-cherished feature of the healthcare system, where the public are given access to the healthcare system at an affordable cost," it said.

The package is expected to cover aspects such as promotive and preventive medicine services from primary healthcare to hospitals. "The reform strategy will contribute to less out-of-pocket expenditure and reduce detrimental health spending," it said.
