MMA concerned over middlemen taking advantage of the Covid-19 pandemic by commercialising screenings.
In a statement today, MMA president Dr N Ganabaskaran said the association had observed the recent trend of middlemen, unrelated to the healthcare sector, taking advantage of the Covid-19 pandemic by commercialising such screenings. Ganabaskaran reminded the public that registered clinics and their doctors are required to comply with stringent standard operating procedures to get approval for screenings, triaging booths and onsite sampling.
“There have been reports that pooling of samples is being done while conducting RT-PCR tests by those who may be price undercutting, compromising on the quality when conducting these tests.
