The Health Care Professions on Tuesday released the ethical tariff guideline.
The body said that this is a relief to people`s cries that doctors are charging exorbitant fees.
The South African Medical Association’s acting Chairperson Dr Mark Sonderup said that they are disappointed by the publication of the so-called ethical tariff guidelines.
Sonderup added that the guidelines do not reflect the true costs of running a private healthcare practise.
He also said that the ethical tariff guideline in reality will make little difference to the prices that doctors charge.
