THE COST of medical services is up for discussion at a meeting of the Commerce Ministry’s Central Committee on Prices of Goods and Services on January 9 as it considers applying price controls. Meanwhile, the cost of medical supplies will be discussed by stakeholders, who will make a future proposal to the central committee.

AFTER YEARS of delay, the government will finally pilot the tax stamps scheme on alcohol products and distilled spirits by January next year to ensure correct payment of excise taxes.
