Private hospital charges do not fall under the Ministry of Health’s (MOH) purview; private hospitals set their fees independently.

This means a doctor shall not let financial considerations imposed by his own practice, investments or financial arrangements influence the objectivity of his clinical judgment in the treatment of his patients.
