  • United Arab Emirates: Thursday, February 28 - 2008 at 07:24

Fourteen private hospitals in Abu Dhabi are considering a possible 40% increase in medical prices by April 1 to beat inflation, but health insurance companies feel the figure is too high and are debating the issue, reported Gulf News. There are 19 private hospitals in Abu Dhabi, 14 of which are part of the Hospital Private Committee which frequently meets to discuss issues. Noting the rising cost of medical services and doctors' salaries, Tony Al Achkar, general manager of Lifeline hospital which is a part of HPC, said are about '12 or 13 reasons' why it has requested a 40% increase.
