Association spokeswoman Dr. Maysam Akroush said that about 38 specialized associations operating under JMA agree with the recommendation, adding that the said medical procedures and the fees charged for them must be made known by every specialized association.

She also said that there will be regulations determining which procedures may be performed in clinics and which in hospitals, in order to protect the citizens.

There are specialists who performed procedures in clinics, instead of hospitals, in contravention of the law governing the medical profession, and the latest recommendation is meant to exercise some control on the way doctors operate, said Akroush.

At the same time, the minimum and maximum doctor fees will be set in a manner that is fair to both doctors and citizens.
