WHY IS MEDICAL CARD A MUST FOR WOMEN?

According to a doctor from Pusat Rawatan Islam Sdn. Bhd., nearly 98 % of all women have fibroids either small or large. The cost of the operation in one of the hospitals in Seremban was around RM 12,000 in the year of 2007. The cost now will be much higher than the cost in the year of 2007.

A female patient who has medical card doesn't need to be worried about the cost as this risk will be borne by insurance companies.
