MDM BHD

Effective 1 January, 2017 MDM ceased to provide medical indemnity on "occurrence based". All members were informed of this in November, 2016. The members can continue to subscribe their medical indemnity on "claims made". The premium is very much cheaper than "occurrence based" The "claims made" indemnity is managed by SSCA RISKS MANAGEMENT SDN BHD. Details of the application form, premium rates, the insurer and reinsurer can accessed at SSCA http://www.ssca.com.my or email us at "ssca.sdn.bhd@gmail.com"

PRIMARY AIMS & OBJECTIVES

To Protect, support and safeguard the character and interests of legally qualified health care practitioners.
To Function as a 'not for profit' organisation. MDM therefore does not build into its subscription the profit margin sought by commercial insurers hence enabling it to provide cover at highly competitive rates.
To Indemnify and financially or otherwise assist members with regard to damages, charges, costs and other expenses which may have been incurred or sustained by them as a result of proceedings claims or demands.
To Allow for a choice of legal representation for its members, from amongst a panel of reputable local law firms with proven expertise in the specialized field of medical law.
To Provide facilities such as conference rooms for conducting arbitration, training sessions, talks and programmes to upgrade technical and other skills or for any other purposes of MDM.
To Originate, and support improvements in the law which may seem directly or indirectly in keeping with the purposes of the company. It also seeks to develop a forum for debate regarding alternative forms of dispute resolution (ADR) encompassing arbitration and mediation, in order to ensure rapid justice for patients and doctors.
