A private medical laboratory in Malwana has been fined Rs. 500,000 by the Mahara Magistrate’s Court for charging more than the approved rate for a Full Blood Count (FBC) test.
The penalty was issued after the lab admitted to overcharging a patient, in violation of Consumer Affairs Authority regulations. The gazetted maximum charge for an FBC test is Rs. 400.
The case is part of ongoing enforcement efforts targeting pricing violations in the healthcare sector. (Newswire)
